John "NO INTEGRITY" McCain plays the race card in a new ad due out to National Outlets.
He has done some pretty low things in the past couple of weeks but this one shows just how low the senile peanut has stooped.
At Swampland this evening they have posted a new ad that McCain has and Karen Tumulty has the story:

McCain Plays the Race Card
This is hardly subtle: Sinister images of two black men, followed by one of a vulnerable-looking elderly white woman.
I do not know how to post anything from UTUBE so if anyone does please let me know as Karen has the video up at Swampland.
She further states:
the image of the victim doesn't seem accidental either, given the fact that older white women are a key swing constituency in this election
I simply cannot believe the low this guy has gone to. First he lies and then gives the American people a VP pick that is a danger to our country and when those idiotic decisions don't help him he now goes for broke in a move that should shame him completely out of this race. He uses the excuse that Obama is friendly and being advised by former Fannie Mae Chairman Frank Raines.
Let me stipulate: Obama's Fannie Mae connections are completely fair game. But this ad doesn't even mention a far more significant tie--that of Jim Johnson, the former Fannie Mae chairman who had to resign as head of Obama's vice presidential search team after it was revealed he got a sweetheart deal on a mortgage from Countrywide Financial. Instead, it relies on a fleeting and tenuous reference in a Washington Post Style section story to suggest that Obama's principal economic adviser is former Fannie Mae Chairman Frank Raines. Why? One reason might be that Johnson is white; Raines is black.
Frank Raines has responded earlier today, before the ad was out so they know it is a LIE.
Statement from Frank Raines on the ad: "I am not an advisor to Barack Obama, nor have I provided his campaign with advice on housing or economic matters."
The Obama Team responded:
"This is another flat-out lie from a dishonorable campaign that is increasingly incapable of telling the truth. Frank Raines has never advised Senator Obama about anything -- ever. And by the way, someone whose campaign manager and top advisor worked and lobbied for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shouldn't be throwing stones from his seven glass houses," said Obama-Biden campaign spokesman Bill Burton.
