Tymeka Cropper and Kenneth Tann of Wilmington said they
don't need to hear the latest ad campaign from a group of President
Bush's critics to know its message should play well with its target
audience - black voters like them. The ads, created by the liberal
Media Fund, accuse Bush of ignoring the black community's needs and
trying to discourage black people from voting in November. The ads say
Bush hasn't improved education for black children or job prospects for
black workers. Democrats have claimed that Republicans are working to
suppress the black vote to help Bush win. They point to radio and print
ads by a Washington-based group called People of Color United. The ads,
funded largely by Republicans, criticized Kerry as a "wishy-washy,
rich, white politician" and his African-born wife Teresa Heinz Kerry as
"elitist, rich and white." [more ]
