2000:

  • The supposedly non-partisan NAACP ran a $9 million ad campaign designed to boost black turnout. It featured a TV commercial that re-enacted the June 1998 dragging death of James Byrd in Texas and essentially associated George W. Bush with that atrocity.


And, yes, I realize that Bush isn't running. However, these are past examples of democrats doing the types of things (race baiting, picking on middle names, etc.) that who seem to be against. So I asked if they plan on doing similar things with the 2008 GOP candidate.
