UPDATED AND BUMPED: From the “What Am I Missing?” department:

The good people over at Right voices notes the most obvious item I missed about Firedoglake:

Jane Hamsher is the proud owner of Firedoglake and her work speaks for itself:

When it comes to racism the American left seems to have that corner pretty well marked. Need I say much more?

Apparently the big dummies on the left end of the blogosphere think that they can magically inject manufactured cries of racism into the North Carolina Republican party for daring to expose Rev. Jeremiah Wright for the very real radical that he is.

This is a great idea. It appears that the Republican nominee for the presidency—John McImpotent, can do nothing to pull the racist attack ads against Obama in NC:

“The television advertisement you are planning to air degrades our civics and distracts us from the very real differences we have with the Democrats,” he wrote. “In the strongest terms, I implore you to not run this advertisement.”

As usual the press will praise him for standing up to their Rovian tactics while nothing is done to stop them. So it’s up to Liddy Dole to get these pulled. - Crooks and Liars, Join in: Tell Elizabeth Dole To Stop Racist Attack Ads Against Barack Obama

The petition is hosted at Firedoglake. Pretty rich huh? You know the site, the one frequented by short time blogmaster for John Edwards, Amanda Marcotte. Firedoglake is going to lecture people on racism even though they provide a second home to the anti-Catholic bigoted ass Amanda Marcotte that penned the following:

Q: What if Mary had taken Plan B after the Lord filled her with his hot, white, sticky Holy Spirit?
A: You’d have to justify your misogyny with another ancient mythology.

And this is the laughable petition they put together:

Who’s the most senior member of the NC GOP? Well that would be Liddy Dole. NC Democratic Party Chair Jerry Meek has sent a letter to Dole saying “without a doubt, you could halt this ad with a simple telephone call.”

Dole is up for re-election this year (and will be running against either Kay Hagen or Blue America candidate Jim Neal). But where is she? She’s never in the state, she lives at the Watergate in DC, she rarely makes public appearances in NC. It seems she’s gone Washington — because once again, she’s nowhere to be found when it comes to a North Carolina issue.

She can stop the racist attack ads against Obama, and we’re asking her to send this letter:

Dear Chairwoman Linda Daves,

I disapprove of the content of the North Carolina Republican Party’s recent advertisement “Extreme”. I feel that it resorts to a type of negative politicking that betrays the best interest of North Carolinians.

I call on you, as Chairwoman of the North Carolina Republican Party, to immediately stop airing this advertisement. Failure to do so will reflect negatively on all North Carolina Republicans, and would necessitate that I return the Party’s contributions to my campaign to disassociate myself from the vitriol which you appear to embrace.

We’ll be working with NC bloggers (including Pam Spaulding) to deliver the petition to Dole’s office.

Brilliant. Apparently the left is so threatened by the truth of Jeremiah Wright that they have to manufacture false cries of racism to cover up the racism that Barack Obama was all too comfortable listening to for over 20 years.

Great call guys, it just gives me an opportunity to play the ad myself. Please give it a try, watch the ad that the left doesn’t want you to watch and see if you can spot the racist. (Hint: It’s not the Republican party.)

This would almost be humorous if the American left wasn’t such the pile of donkey manure that it has become. The associations that Barack Obama make and the people he has the audacity to model his image after are very much fair game, relevant and important. Only an ignorant fool would pretend otherwise.
