At the request of hisownpetard on this thread
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7111211 (detailing how a doctor made a $1000 contribution after enduring the racist rants of one of his patients), I humbly submit my idea for a little ad we might run in newspapers around the country after Obama is elected:
Dear Racist,
Thank you for all the additional donations to Barack Obama that you inspired. Remember that nasty little slur
against Barack that you made to your doctor/butcher/mechanic/neighbor/co-worker, thinking that because
you shared the same skin color you shared the same prejudices?
Your ignorance and small-minded bigotry helped pour thousands and thousands of dollars into Obama's campaign.
After hearing your hateful comments, many people went to their checkbooks-- many for the first time ever--
and donated to help elect Obama. You, yes you, inspired them to help erase the vile stain of prejudice that
still taints our country.
Lucky for you, Barack Obama is a truly good man and he will be working to help EVERY AMERICAN to live better
and realize their dreams, regardless of how much melanin is in their skin.
So, thanks again for inspiring others to help put Obama in the White House. By 2012, we sincerely hope you'll
be ready to help re-elect him by giving money directly instead of just inspiring others!
Sincerely,
Your fellow citizens
