New SuperPAC, FightBigotry.com, Smears President Obama For ‘Racism Against White Folks’

FightBigotry.com, a new Super PAC registered with the Federal Election Commission this week, makes no bones about its aim. It intends to run an attack ad that it says will hit President Barack Obama for “his disturbing, yet crystal-clear pattern of tacitly defending black racism against white folks before and since being elected president.”

FightBigotry.com’s founder and treasurer is Stephen Marks, a well-known Republican opposition researcher whose 2008 book Confessions of a Political Hitman detailed his work in what he called “the dark side of politics.” In 2000, he launched an attack ad under the misleading name “Americans Against Hate,” attempting to tie Al Gore to controversial comments by Rev. Al Sharpton. Another Marks spot in 2004 attempted to link John Kerry to convicted murderer Willie Horton. He was forced to retract a claim in the book about then-Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ), acknowledging that “the information was not accurate.”

<..> Beyond the obvious race-baiting, the ad is riddled with factual errors. Holder’s March 2011 statement was criticizing a Congressman for equating an a 2008 New Black Panther Party incident with the much more violent assaults against voting rights advocates in the 1960s – not about “pursuing the New Black Panthers.”

The racists trying to protect their asses. This is the stuff to fire up the under-the-rocks people who hate PBO because he's Black.

We white people been held down too long in this country. We are revolting! Time to take the country back from our oppressors, poor black folk!

*sigh* There is apparently no low that is too low.

Oh that is really disgusting! I'm sure that ad will play well in parts of the south but I think most people who aren't motivated by hate will see that crap for what it is ... and I bet Myth Romney won't say a single word against it!

All of that garbage, and they have the unmitigated gall to invoke the name of Martin Luther King, Jr. at the end? They have no shame!

'Racism Against White Folks'--the fear that white people will be treated the way that people of color have been treated for the past few centuries.

Sounds like good ole fashion fear, to me.
