A new PSA starring Republican Missouri Rep. Rob Schaaf features the GOP state lawmaker, along with a parade of other opponents of Barack Obama's health-care reform, declaring for the camera, "I'm a racist," or for the more noncommittal, "I guess I'm a racist." The ad is pegged to a Rasmussen poll that found that 12 percent of Americans think that most opponents of health-care reform are racist. While the ad aims to be sarcastic, the poll undercuts that point, since the vast majority (88 percent) discounts the anti-reform-racism connection.
Here's the ad, followed by a commercial we'd love to see it remixed with. Just do the work in your head.
Now, sing along.

Typical, racists are so racists that they are proud of it. Not to put a too fine point on in but, racists come in all shades, religions and ethnicities, so having token actors paid to appear in a commercial means nothing. If you oppose universal health care your are prejudiced not racist, your inherent belief is that all poor people work and when they are too ill to work, the they should shut up and die because, every one knows you can not afford health insurance that will actually cover anything on minimum wage.
