ORLANDO PATTERSON: Hillary TV ad is racist. Reader comment: “Last week Hillary Clinton was a monster. Now she’s the Ku Klux Klan? This is the real fear mongering.”

More thoughts at MooreThoughts: Barack Obama is lurking in your bushes! And more skepticism at Cadillac Tight.

UPDATE: An “insidious pattern” of racial remarks from the Clinton campaign? Or a depressing pattern of playing the race card in response to criticism? Or a clever Clinton tactic of bluffing Obama into playing the race card?

ANOTHER UPDATE: More from Ann Althouse, who was way ahead of Patterson on that ad . . . .
