Ken Mehlman's cynical effort to inflame white bigotry in Tennessee is no different from what the Republicans did in their infamous 1988 "Willie Horton" ad.
  • letter-- Salon users WERE consistent

    In your post from Friday, you called Salon readers inconsistent because they objected to the TO/Desperate Houswives overreaction, and because they're outraged at the GOP-funded "Call me" ad.

    What is inconsistent about 1) being annoyed at people being fearful of interracial sex and 2) being annoyed at an ad appealing to people fearful of interracial sex?

    You reasoning is completely erroneous. Good thing your post is on the internet, though-- you should be getting a call to help plan Iraq strategy from the White House any minute now.
