Hey Kenny "Call Me"

From Mike Rogers at BlogActive.com, we get this outstanding ad, produced by Proud of Who We Are and BlogActive, mocking the the Republican National Committee's now-infamous 'call me' ad that showed a scantily clad white actress saying she met Rep. Harold Ford (D-TN) at 'the Playboy party.' It ended with her asking the congressman to "call me!" You may remember when Ken Mehlman was asked about this on one of the Sunday talk shows, he gave some convoluted reason as to why he didn't have the authority to pull the ad even though he is the Chairman of the RNC. Yet strangely enough the ad was quickly pulled when analysts said the ad was designed to fan the fires of racism, and raise old fears about interracial relationships to try to defeat the Senate campaign of African-American Rep. Harold Ford, and once the media got off their collective butts and informed the public as to what was going on. In a statement from Mike Rogers on the Proud of Who We Are website he states: "I am another frustrated American, tired of people like Ken Mehlman using lies and personal attacks in an effort to manipulate elections. If Ken Mehlman got the entire mainstream media to give precious air time and column inches to his race-baiting ad, I’m sure they will have no problem reporting the response. And there’s a big difference between Mehlman’s ad and our response: ours is honest."

Dobson has told National Public Radio that after the elections, there will have to be a "serious conversation" about whether or not homosexuality can be part of the Republicans’ "big tent." Rogers responded, "James Dobson says that homosexuality is ‘a disorder’ and ‘a descent into depravity.’ Why is he taking orders and trying to turn out voters for a man who might very well be someone on such a ‘descent into depravity’?’"Read on....
