Rachel Maddow sums up for us very nicely what the National Republican Trust PAC, which is running a 25 minute long anti-Obama screed in a number of swing states, is using as their closing arguments to attack President Obama:

MADDOW: In swing states across the country a 25 minute long ad. Sure health care is terrible and the stimulus stinks, but white people!... come on! Don't forget what it all boils down to. White people, be afraid!

Yep, that about sums is up. It didn't work out so well for them during the presidential election. Here's more from TPM.

Conservative PAC Ad Brings Together The Best-Of Anti-Obama Memes (VIDEO):

The National Republican Trust PAC has launched a 25-minute video in several key states attacking President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress and linking them to extremist groups and opinions. The video brings up ACORN and the New Black Panther Party -- and not-so-subtlety implies Obama is a Muslim, though the group behind the video says that is not the intention.

It is running heavy in North Carolina, Iowa, Kentucky, Delaware, Alaska, and Florida, Scott Wheeler, executive director of the National Republican Trust PAC, told TPMMuckraker. It began running on television stations last week but has been online for about two weeks, he said.

The ad features Muslim chanting layered over clips of Obama speaking about Islam. "Instead of standing up for America, he bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia," the video says. But Wheeler said that ad isn't intended to imply Obama is a Muslim.

"Well he was in the Middle East, and that's the call to prayer baseline music," Wheeler said. "Look what the president has said... he's advocated negotiating with Hamas, a terrorist group."

Go read the rest and they've got the entire video posted if you've got the stomach for it.

Should making arguments like this automatically disqualify the Republican Trust PAC from participating in the national political discourse? Shouldn't there be a minimum bar?

Unless they file under "self-satire".

The first word should be "Shouldn't"...

Respect is not fear.

Hit the books and then get back to us. Do not refer to right wing propaganda for your arguments.

we're told this is all about the economy.

This is about a white backlash. The teathugs have been race baiting this whole election season - muslim, kenyan president; immigrant thugs; sacred ground zero to be desecrated with a mosque; black panthers; and so on.
Having a half black president has caused a nervous breakdown and they (the voters who are going against the best interest of the country) just know that if we get rid of all the "others", things won't be so scary.

Beware of sarah palin. She's riding this wave, with her crazy anger and huge ego, and wants the big prize. This will not stop for the next two years and the teathugs are emboldened.

I don't see anything good happening. They will be drunk with power, money and the winning formula of racism.

President Obama was referring to bigots.

Race wars? I give you Glen Beck.

I'm torn between hoping and working to take the country back in 2012....and flying my flag upside down and
hoping for the worst out of pure spite for the slimballs that are the Republican party.

On the other hand, if back in 2004 we were told we'd have the WH and the Senate, I think most of us would
have said, "Fine".

So, we'll see.

Any idiot who watches this for more than 5 minutes is already an Obama hater. On the other hand, maybe it wouldn't have been terrible for the DNC to do likewise, dividing the half hour between reminding us what we
got out of the last GOP Congress and what the Dems have done with their time in Congress.

That is just a sampling. This is why the Republicans want to win so badly - to stop this progress.
You still have time to vote Democratic.

And WHERE did this "grassroots" campaign get the money for these ads? :-(


NOBODY 2012

Obama, illegal immigrants and Arab Muslims. No no, this election was not about race, according to the Teabagging bigots. I hope the independents and "moderate" voters realize they have voted for a bunch of snakes who will work to benefit the corporations over all the Joe Plumbers.
