"Not This Time" contest

October 30, 2008, 4:40PM

Earlier today, Josh posted a thirty second spot from a pro-McCain org. He asked for re-writes of the script that make explicit the ad's subtext. It's a strange ad and worth checking out. My re-write is below.

Dear White People: I am a "black" man who looks kinda white, so you can trust me more than regular black people. Barack Obama is just the latest radical black man who wants to take money from you and "redistribute" it to his black brothers and sisters. Blacks will vote for him because they get that Obama is about restitution at white people's expense. Don't be fooled - their day may yet come, but not with Obama, and not this time. Vote for the white man.
