A quick google search revealed that it was left in the comments of a dozen or so blogs that same day. That seems to be the extent of it as far as we have found.

I don't think any of us expected anything less. Well, except all those pollyana journalists who loudly proclaimed that by dint of Obama's nomination racism was magically and instantly gone.

The Institute for Healing Racism has denounced the letter, and has stated it has nothing to do with it. The letter actually originates in Arlington, VA, and Clarendon is a section of the that city.

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 06:37:59 +0000 http://www.racismreview.com/blog/?p=542#comment-5419 I find the letter to be strange. Some parts, especially the third paragraph, are vaguely similar to the "celebrity" charge used earlier by the McCain campaign (in the ad with Paris Hilton), which suggested interest in Obama was just interest in a shallow celebrity without substance. Other parts echo arguments about reverse discrimination made against Affirmative action, seeming to suggest some whites are voting for Obama because he is black and that's reverse discrimination. What I would really be interested in is if there is any research that sheds light on how effective any specific types of attacks are likely to be in swaying the voters who are their targets.
