I think the green screen/Walter Reed thing is funny to those of us who follow this campaign close enough to instantly recall the lime-green backdrop from June. But to the low-info voter tuning in last night, I thought the repeated crowd shots over three nighs of the lily white GOP delegates interrupted by the cutaway to the same African-American vet in the black POW-MIA hat during the Palin speech for example, probably sent a subliminal message to all those hispanics, blacks, Asian, Arabs (in Michigan), and all the ethnic groups in America that the Republican party is not a place you can call home.  I  thought McCain might use his speech to make a play somebody but the flag-waving Caucasions.  If he did, I missed it.

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
