We have politics of our own out here. I did see the ad, of course. While I can't say I find it "racist" exactly, it was certainly calculated to irritate racist Southerners who are afraid of miscegenation. It should have been insulting to any Tennessean to think that the GOP would find such slop appealing. I don’t have a dog in this fight, and don’t really know much about either candidates’ stands.

There is a heated race for the county's register of deeds. The Republican is a douche, the democrat who received the nomination is a fool and the guy who has been doing the job for the past 12 years has to run a write in campaign because he changed parties and wasn't able to run as a democrat due to election laws. I really can't wait to see the results of that election. The position carries with it a salary of $90k. I'm hoping the write-in guy wins and to a lesser extent the democrat... anyone to beat that show boating republican. I don't get why the position is partisan but when you're handling home deeds and things of that nature, it's better to avoid the red. I can’t wait for our election up here.

It's the way you adopted the GOP tactic of personalizing the issue. I didn't smear *you* as a racist, yet somehow you thought it was ok to smear me.

The difference (since apparently it has to be explained to you) is that the GOP paid lots of money and put an ad on television in the hope of affecting the votes of those watching TV for other reasons. The folks at fauxnews.com paid very little money to put a satire on the internet in the hope of amusing those who volunarily click over to their site. However, the equivalency you've drawn between the GOP and the folks who created the fauxnews.com site is duly noted. No more juvenile than your link to foxnews, daco.
