i had heard about the ford winking ad on npr, but they never said anything about that being a backhanded comment on interracial love.

I hadn't heard anything about that ad until the BBC brought it up. I fear my British compatriots view American elections (especially in the light of certain recent debacles) as the best show in town (well, out of town)...
Whut! 'Tis too cool that Kathryn attended a meeting which was mentioned on the BBC...

I think that add was racist. The RNC knew what they were implying, totally using traditonal white southern fears to their advantage...
