A 'Good-Looking' Florida Congressional Candidate's Pro-Racial Profiling Ad
Republican Dan Fanelli, who's running to depose a Democrat in Florida's 8th district, has created a new ad comparing an old white man to a hulking brown person. Which one looks more like a terrorist? It's a no-brainer!
Mr. Fanelli, who looks something like a zombie Bill Irwin, claims that the ad wasn't meant to say that darker skinned people are more likely to be evil, just that people from certain countries in the Middle East require a little more suspicion. "You can be light and from those countries," he said. So then why is the ad about what people look like? This is confusing! Oh well, the important thing is that he totally wouldn't mind being profiled himself, if they were profiling middle-aged white guys. Which they're not, ever. [Washington Post]
