GOP darkened Obamas skin in their racist adds last go arround

A new study shows that negative ads targeting President Obama in 2008 depicted him with very dark skin, and that these images would have appealed to some viewers’ racial biases.

The finding reinforces charges that some Republican politicians seek to win votes by implying support for racist views and ethnic hierarchies, without voicing those prejudices explicitly. The purported tactic is often called “dog-whistle politics” — just as only canines can hear a dog whistle, only prejudiced voters are aware of the racist connotations of a politician’s statement, according to the theory.

That debate has been prominent in the 2016 campaign, primarily targeting Donald Trump, but it has existed in almost every recent presidential election. To hear their opponents tell it, when Republican politicians say they oppose a generous welfare system, they really mean black beneficiaries are lazy. If they endorse strict immigration enforcement, they really mean that Latinos are criminals, critics say.

A study published online this month in Public Opinion Quarterly provides new evidence that one GOP campaign — intentionally or not — has aired advertisements that exacerbate viewers’ racial biases.
 
Do you really think a true racist needs that kind of Photoshop trickery? You've probably called me a racist at least 500 times in this little arena, yet this is the first time I've noticed that in different photos and videos his skin tone varies. Myself, and no one I know for that matter, has ever said, "heyyyy! That guy is blacker than I thought!!! What are those commies trying to pull!?!?!?" In 2008, the asshole said he was black, and I took his word for it. He also had some screwed up ideas that he threatened us with, so I voted for the lesser of two evils. Your "science" is junk, too.

You still read that rag? I saw Time going downhill(and WAYYYY off to the left)in '92 and switched to Newsweek, and that went down the crapper even faster. Stopped the newspaper subs soon after and haven't looked at one since(except for the funnies, if they're laying around). This is old stuff. The left has a stranglehold on almost every media format in America except for talk radio, and the internet seems to holding the red menace at bay(I have comcast though, run by NBC, which I hate. Might have to switch providers.)
 
its corporate media you fucking idiot

on what basis of FACT do you call them liberals back in 1994?

What the hell do I look like? A law student? You're not sending me on some paper chase. And I am most definitely NOT going to jump through hoops to prove a negative, especially to a one-trick pony like you.
