5. It certainly seems to fit in with their 'swarthy is scary' motiff.
Nothing these people do surprises me anymore. I am surprised they didn't photoshop Bin Laden in there somewhere. Slow it down, it's probably subliminal.

8. Accident
It's not clear that the image was of Hispanics. Attacking a unobvious racist comment or image is likely to back-fire and discredits it's sorce. But when people put ads together then know what then are doing.

9. It wasn't obvious to me that the Mexican caucus wasn't white, but
it was obvious that they wanted you to see that Obama was not white.

The thugs only know to spread hate and fear with rascism mixed in. The majority of people have figured that out already.
That is why they have shrunk to their basest of the base.

This won't get them anywhere with most people. imo

10. Cenk's comment about editing and making choices is huge.
That is something too few people understand. Everything in an advertisement, political or otherwise, is discussed and considered to the nth degree. You've got 30 seconds of video to make your point, and that 30 seconds generally costs a lot of money.

Nothing in an advertisement is random.
