Group Runs Anti-Kerry Ads on Black Radio Stations

[NewYorkerfromMass]

A group financed by a major Republican contributor has begun running radio ads in about a dozen cities, many in battleground states, attacking Sen. John F. Kerry as "rich, white and wishy-washy" and mocking his wife for boasting of her African roots.

The D.C.-based group, People of Color United, has substantial financial backing from J. Patrick Rooney, the former chairman of Golden Rule Insurance Co. and the founder of a new firm, Medical Savings Insurance Co. Both firms specialize in medical savings accounts, created by Republican-backed 1996 legislation, and health savings accounts, which were created by President Bush's 2003 Medicare prescription drug legislation....

can vote for bush. This is arguably the most racist bunch ever in office.At the very least in the last 50 years or so.

5. "People of Color United?"

Sounds like "Concerned Women for America"...who are neither concerned, nor women.
