what kind of racist bull#@$* is this?
i thought this kind of crap only flew in the south. very sad.
its called sarcasm you moron
Normally I don't respond to comments as a matter of personal policy.
I was expecting this kind of reaction, and I doubt you're the only one. As the other poster said this is satire.
If you check out the anti-Ford ads on Youtube you'll understand the cartoon better. The racism is veiled, but it is undeniably still there.
I expose what's implied.

it's not sarcasm if you live here, it's too real. you can't parody a reality that is so rediculous as to be a parody of itself. i have lived with this junk every day, and this $@it flies here. in tennessee i might add.
there is nothing moronic about being disgusted by racism.
the republican national commnittee thought their ad was funny too. they thought they were being real clever too.
Harold Ford Jr. strikes me as a man, "of the people", by the people, for the people." Isn't that what America's about?
harlord ford jr..is the best guy ever i wish he would have one...bob is a lier bout harlod
From what I can see from this side of the Altlantic (in the UK) , he's a white guy who is 'blacking up' to play the race card. Utterly ridiculous and baltantly oportunistic. If a black guy who looked 95% African - maybe with just straight hair - all other features genetically West African, declared himself to be a White Anglo Saxon Protestant, people would just laugh. So how come this whitey gets away with it? He's as ridiculous as Ali G. Ive also just seen a photo of his uncle John Ford. Obviously as white as the blonde womean who was interviewing him. Has America gone collectively blind or something?
ito the t thought mr. ford was the best man for the job but he did not stoop to the level of the republicans who are seasoned street fighters . east tn. are mountain people who came here from scotland . they are mean and uneducated barely speaking the english language
