Racist Gableman Ad?

This is an ad being put out by Judge Gableman’s campaign. 

Some on the left are calling it racist.  I must admit that I’ve watched the ad several times, and I can’t find the racism.  I believe that the lefties are referring to the part near the end where it talks about Butler finding a loophole to free a child molester and the child molester went on to rape more kids.  The ad uses a bit of spin. 

For example, the ad says “Butler found a loophole.  Mitchell went on to rape another child.”  Those statements are entirely true.  Butler represented the rapist on his appeal as a defense attorney.  Butler won at the Court of Appeals but lost at the Supreme Court.  After Mitchell was released, he did indeed rape another child.  So the statements are factually correct, if marinated in political spin.

But I still fail to see the racism.  Is it because Butler is a black man and so was Mitchell?  Is it because the ad puts up a picture of both men?  Those are real pictures, aren’t they? 

It seems to me that what we have here is yet another example of a bunch of lefties crying “racism” when they don’t like someone being critical of a black candidate - even when no racism exists.  If Butler and the criminal were white, would they level the same charge?  Of course not.  If these lefties every really want a colorblind society, they will have to stop screaming “racism” where none exists.
