Obama and the NC GOP Ad

I feel bad for Barak Obama, I really do. I mean for the first time in our country's history there is a legitimate African-American candidate for the White House and his campaign is in danger of being derailed by an outspoken pastor who can't seem to keep his mouth shut. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright's comments have totally taken the wind out of the sails of Obama's presidential bid. While Obama may still win, it will be on pure momentum alone as opposed to a month ago when it seemed like he would win this one running away. Barak Obama can't seem to distance himself from his former pastor fast enough. Just 30 days ago Obama said that he wouldn't disown his pastor. In light of recent, even more inflammatory comments made by Wright, it seems that Obama will do just that. Now, to the NC GOP ad (http://youtube.com/watch?v=JhpcIH_Hw18&feature=related) that has so many democrats in a tissy fit. Living in Raleigh, I am amazed to hear people call the local talk radio shows expressing their anger over this ad and denouncing it as racist. Maybe I'm just a stupid white guy in need of an education, and if you can explain why it's racist I would greatly appreciate it, but I just don't see any racial overtones in the ad whatsoever. Is it because the relationship between Wright and Obama is hurting his campaign? What is it about this ad that is racist? Anyway, there is a huge push to have the ad pulled and local TV channel WRAL has refused to run the ad altogether. Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Aren't Republicans allowed to inquire about questionable relationships when a candidate is running for the highest office in the world? Or is that honor only reserved for Democrats? I have seen real racism, in it's most hateful and vile form. I have seen people judged solely on the color of their skin. I have seen the damage that it can do to people who are the victims of REAL racism. I just don't think that this ad is an example of real racism, not even close.
