Here's a quote from Obama in 2005: "I'm so overexposed, I'm making Paris Hilton look like a recluse."

Could this quote imply Obama is a self-hating racist black man?
Then again Bob Herbert could see a picture of Barack and the white side of his family and think there is subliminal racism in that as well.
Why don't you go ahed and check out exactly what time I posted this, and what time you posted your response after several hours of avoiding the thread after we pointed out many lies (two of which you chose to address, the rest you ignored) from McCain.
You're still running away from it as far as I can tell.

Cawacko, I hope you're not suggesting some off handed comment obama made somehow is the underlying justification for a TV ad showing a black man who fancies himself a uppity celebrity, with two sexy white women, and three phallic symbols.
Context is everything, surely you understand that. Especially in terms of race, gender, and social issues.
Look, like I said, you're free to believe this ad was all on the up and up, and no subliminal racial content was intended. I never said you were an idiot for believing that. I think you might be naive.
The point is, it was stated or implied (interestingly, by white male cons) that I was an outright idiot or loon for even making the assertions I did.
When, in fact, I think I'm on pretty solid ground when one looks at the history of the GOP in race baiting, the presence of race baiters like Charlie Black and Karl Rove in the McCain campaign, and the issues that Bob Herbert brought up, in that column I found. It points to the possibility that there is some subliminal race baiting going on. Who on God's green earth would profess shock that republicans race bait? Its what they do.
I could be wrong on this ad, but I think I'm on solid ground, and I reject with extreme prejudice any assertions that I'm an idiot for suspecting race baiting in a republican TV ad.

I'd have to look at what I wrote yesterday but I have no recollection of implying that you were an idiot for believing it I just felt you were wrong. That of couse is just my opinion.
