Ad likens measure to Sept. 11, Katrina

The AP reports:

Opponents of a ballot proposal that would ban some affirmative action programs in Michigan are running a statewide radio ad that warns the measure is as dangerous as the Sept. 11 and Hurricane Katrina disasters.

"If you could have prevented 9/11 from ever happening, would you have?" an announcer asks in the ad. "If you could have prevented Katrina from ever happening, what would you have done? On November 7th, there's a national disaster headed for Michigan: the elimination of affirmative action."

The announcer then repeatedly urges listeners to vote against the proposal.

Some people really benefit from state sanctioned racism.We doubt even if the ballot measure passed, those at the University of Michigan would follow the law because they feel they are above the law.
