The above would have been just as effective and much less offensive had you not chosen to use the picture of a black man casting his ballot.

That would've been stupid AND apples to oranges.

You can't be serious! That sounds like something TOS would say! That picture is about as racist and offensive as I have ever seen. It would be real interesting to see what the origin is. We will probably never know.

BBsam, what are you trying to do?
What color were the slaves back whenever? You weren't there and I wasn't there and wkmac wasn't there either.....but history tells us. Do you want people to tiptoe? That's not going to happen with me....wkmac can speak for himself.
Should the slaves in the field be pictured as purple, orange, green?
The people who bring up race all the time.....are racist themselves..

I respect you enough to believe what you are saying is truthful.
By no means am I trying to put that label on you. I want to make sure you understand that!
As you said, moreluck, "...history tells us..."

The point of the second photo was that those who voted for Obama, whether black, white, pink, yellow or green, would become slaves to the system. The use of the picture of a black added racism to the conversation.

And you were appointed to explain this picture to me ???
We all take from a picture different things . What you just explained is way too simple from what I took from the picture.
So do your art appreciation and express your own stuff and don't go around telling anyone "the point" of something. Not everyone is as tunnel visioned & black & white as you.

Here's one example of how they pick out certain things and don't put the rest, which includes the truth. See, you can't believe that crap!!
In the ad, Mr. Obama attacks Mr. Romney for job losses in the manufacturing sector while he was governor. He also claims that Massachusetts “fell to 47th in job creation. Fourth from the bottom.”
In his ad, Mr. Obama fails to mention that when Mr. Romney became governor, Massachusetts was dead last in job creation nationwide. But, yes, it did hit 47th on its way to ranking 30th in the nation by the time Mr. Romney left office — a considerable improvement.

This is from the Queen of the Closed Minded.
Pray tell, why don't you enlighten us with your take on the second picture?

Sounds like the ad was produced by the folks over at Weasel Zippers.

All political ads are made with snippets of the whole statement......it's a dirty game.
W.Z. is a brokership of news stories that slant MY WAY. You can find your own site where they collect news stories that slant your way.. I've posted 20 stories lately from WZ but they were originals of other news places, and you never knew the difference.
Even UPS pays some company to collect all news stories that mention UPS in them.....thus a collected group of stories from all sources that are about UPS. No difference to me.
If you hate WZ so much, you should probably NEVER read anything I post in Current events.....try it!!
