dailykos.com — In case you needed yet another reason to despise Hillary Clinton and her vermin strategists, she's now running an ad blatantly lying about Obama's subcommittee. Her ad includes debate footage heavily doctored to make Obama blacker.

Really? Her sarcasm was enough to turn me off to voting for her. And I've voted in every election and primary since I got the right. When it comes down to it, between her and McCain I see her as the lesser of two evils. However, I see them as turd sandwich and giant douche and neither one will I want to see giving a state of the union. They're both hell in a hand basket to me, so I'll just end up letting everyone else that wants her in so bad decide on their own.

seriously dude, come on who gives a f**k. If you like the dude's ideas and what he stands for then your already committed to voting for him regardless if he looks "blacker" on a commercial. Jesus f**king Christ it is a political race people, thats what happens, you degrade your opponent.

I know, right? If someone had decided to vote against Obama for being black, they would have already decided to do so and the "blackness" of him in a f**king commercial wouldn't make a difference.

''Obama's Ad: Debate Footage Doctored To Make Clinton Look Like A Woman''(MY ATTEMPT AT A JOKE)

I've done my share of video editing, I particularly love the the Magic Bullet Look Suite and customizing the feel and tone of the video's I edit. This seems exactly what I would do to the video of Obama, simply because it matches the style they were going for in the rest of the video, I would have used the same settings for McCain for that matter. It has less to do with race and more to do with making the video of him look like the style of the ad, and not the cnn/russert style.

The article says, "Others have suggested that darkening and desaturating the footage is normal for political attack ads trying to cast the target as sinister. That may be, but it's not an acceptable excuse. Even if you accept that as normal practice, it's still a dirty one, and it takes on a more charged meaning when you're using it to attack someone in your own party who's already fighting against a lot of racism in the false Muslim smears."While it is obvious that the Clinton ad's footage is noticeably darker than the original debate's, neither that fact nor the article convinces me that they did it deliberately to exploit racism. The article does not convincingly debunk the point that "darkening and desaturating the footage is normal for political attack ads trying to cast the target as sinister" - and therefore that might be the only reason the video is darker. Anybody can speculate, but you need to show me more convincing evidence of their alleged racism-directed motives.Anyone who wants to respond with comments that are more compelling than "this was obviously done for racist reasons," please, I would be interested in hearing what you have to say.
