Republicans are not only racists towards Harold Ford

<p>Tammy Duckworth is a liberal democrat running in Illinois. She is half asian (born to a thai mother and a military father)</p>

<p>The republicans completely used race in this, one can cleary see that they've darkened her eyes with photoshope to make them look slanty, stereotypically asian, and "foriegn." </p>

<p>This is the original film:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkVBcG8hCsg&eurl=%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkVBcG8hCsg&eurl=&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>notice Tammy's eyes in the first shot and in the second.</p>

<p>"Even with the granier version there's one thing that sticks out if one were to try and recreate what was done--the eyes are darker than any normal process would create. </p>

<p>They OJed it up to make her look more foreign is the best interpretation I can come up with. Instead of simply a little blurry and dark they have become the black eyeballs of a demonic possession or just a foreigner."</p>

<p>I also hate how that narrator is like, "Peter Roskam is on OUR side" and emphasize Peter Roskam's white republican values w/ the "family" They completley did whatever was possible to make Duckworth look like an outsider and foreigner, and emphasized the whiteness of the other candidate with that family "he's on OUR side" Duckworth is american and an iraq vet, lost BOTH her legs in Iraq.</p>

<p>politics gets ugly once again. Don't believe everything you see. I'm not saying one candidate is better, but I hate when they use race, in this case deliberatly darkening Tammy's eyes.</p>

<p>You have to be kidding me.</p>

<p>I watched it and I don't think it's racist at all.</p>

<p>You probably didn't think that it was racist because you are a Republican. You know, I hate to say it, but the Republicans just keep getting more pathetic. They always tout themselves as being upright, when they do terrible things such as this ad and sex scandals. Hypocrits!!!</p>

<p>Feh, anytime somebody attacks some person who is a minority (in this case, a double minority, woman AND Asian) its seen as racist. I watched the ad, but the speakers for this computer I'm using are missing, unless the audio was the racist part, then I don't think the video was racist at all.</p>

<p>What about Cardin's attacks on Steele? Since Steele is Black, then Cardin must be a racist Republican right?</p>

<p>Sorry about that rant against republicans. Although I dislike most Republicans, I did not mean everything that I previously stated.</p>
