By Emily Wagster Pettus, = Associated Press=20 Writer

JACKSON, Miss. =97 A Republican = congressional=20 candidate in a majority-white Mississippi district runs ads trying = to tie=20 his Democratic rival with Barack Obama's former pastor, seen by = some as an=20 anti-white firebrand. Democrats distribute fliers accusing the = Republican=20 of wanting a statue to honor the founder of the Ku Klux = Klan.

The only black justice on the Wisconsin = Supreme Court=20 is defeated after his rival runs an ad with the justice's picture = next to=20 that of a black convict. A watchdog group calls it a "disgraceful=20 attack."

In South Carolina, a Republican challenger = for the=20 U.S. Senate airs an ad with people stepping over wire fencing and=20 protesters holding "Secure Our Borders" signs. It includes a man = and woman=20 saying, "Muchas gracias, Lindsey Graham," the incumbent = Republican.

In the first year a major party is poised = to choose a=20 black nominee for president, American politicians are still = appealing to=20 voters' racial fears, with varying degrees of success.

"Racial fears and racial conflict are = certainly not=20 segregated to the South," said Michael Dawson, a University of = Chicago=20 political scientist who has studied race in politics. "Certainly, = I think=20 we see it in most parts of the country."

Republicans have a long -- and often = successful --=20 history of trying to label local Democrats as national Democrats, = even=20 when the local candidate disagrees with the national party on some = issues.

That happened a few weeks ago in special = elections=20 for open congressional seats in Mississippi and Louisiana, where = the=20 Democrats both ran as anti-abortion and pro-gun candidates -- = positions=20 that put them at odds with their national party.

After both Democrats won, Republican = campaign leaders=20 immediately said they would re-evaluate their strategy because the = tactic=20 appeared to backfire by increasing black voter turnout for the=20 Democrats.

Dawson, though, said that with a black = nominee at the=20 top of the Democratic ticket, the conservatives' tactic of tying = local=20 Democratic candidates to the national party will be "doubly = effective" in=20 stirring up some voters' fears.

Andra Gillespie, an Emory University = political=20 scientist, said candidates in the U.S. have long played to = people's fears=20 and biases, but they're now using more subtle methods than = politicians did=20 in the days of the Dixiecrats, the Southern segregationists who = split from=20 the Democratic Party in the mid-1960s.

"You cannot be blatantly racist anymore," = Gillespie=20 said.

She said politicians now use tactics = described by=20 Princeton University political scientist Tali Mendelberg in her = 2001 book,=20 "The Race Card: Campaign Strategy, Implicit Messages and the Norm = of=20 Equality."

Mendelberg wrote about the use of images = and buzz=20 words to appeal to people's subconscious ideas about race. She = called this=20 "implicit priming."

"You're basically winking as you say = 'antibusing' or=20 'law and order' -- or 'welfare queens' as Ronald Reagan did in the = 1980s,"=20 Gillespie said. "If you can sort of tap into those internal = prejudices ...=20 you can have the same effect as if you straight up use the = N-word."

Mississippi, among the states with the = highest number=20 of black elected officials, still sees campaigns use race as a = wedge,=20 including a special election for an open congressional seat this = year.

The Republican congressional candidate was = Greg=20 Davis, mayor of Southaven, a Mississippi suburb of Memphis, Tenn. = He ran a=20 TV ad that said Travis Childers had been endorsed by Obama. The = narrator's=20 voice dripped with derision as he said, "when Obama's pastor = cursed=20 America, blaming us for 9-11, Childers said nothing."

Davis stands by the ad. Childers, who, like = Davis, is=20 white, called the ad "mean-spirited."

"Rev. Chuck Hampton is my pastor at East = Booneville=20 Baptist Church," Childers said. "You can put anything he does = wrong=20 squarely on me. But y'all are not holding me accountable for Rev. = Jeremiah=20 Wright."

Days before the May 13 election, the = Democratic=20 Congressional Campaign Committee mailed copies of a flier with a = photo of=20 an exasperated black man next to the words: "Greg Davis wants to = honor the=20 founder of the KKK with a statue in Southaven."

In defense of the mailing, congressional = campaign=20 committee spokesman Doug Thornell cited news reports from 2005, = when=20 Memphis officials decided against removing Confederate names and = statues=20 from two public parks. One park is named for Confederate President = Jefferson Davis, the other for Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, who = founded=20 the KKK but later spoke out against the group's violence.

Greg Davis said recently that he offered in = 2005 to=20 take the Jefferson Davis statue for his city, and the mayor of = nearby=20 Hernando, Miss., offered to take the Forrest statue.

"As you go through a campaign a lot of = facts are=20 distorted and lies are told," Davis said. "Unfortunately, I think = that one=20 had an effect in certain communities."

His own ad about Wright raised legitimate = questions=20 about Democrats, Davis maintained.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Louis = Butler was=20 defeated this year after his opponent, Michael Gableman, ran a TV = ad that=20 said Butler "worked to put criminals on the street." It showed = Butler's=20 photo next to one of Reuben Lee Mitchell, who was accused of rape = in 1984.=20 Both men are black.

"Butler found a loophole," the ad says. = "Mitchell=20 went on to molest another child."

Butler had once represented Mitchell as a = public=20 defender and won him a new trial, but that ruling was overturned = and did=20 not lead to Mitchell's release. However, he was paroled years = later and=20 raped a runaway.

The Wisconsin Judicial Campaign Integrity = Committee=20 compared the ad to the one used against Democratic presidential = candidate=20 Michael Dukakis in 1988, with a photo of black convict Willie = Horton, who=20 had committed crimes during a weekend furlough program that = Dukakis had=20 supported as Massachusetts governor.

Gableman's campaign adviser Darrin Schmitz = defended=20 the spot as a "comparison ad."

The political scientists Gillespie and = Dawson both=20 pointed to the 2006 U.S. Senate race in Tennessee as an example of = advertising that plays on people's fears about interracial dating. = Democratic U.S. Rep. Harold Ford Jr., who is black, lost the = contest to=20 Republican Bob Corker.

A TV spot paid for by the Republican = National=20 Committee used a bare-shouldered white actress who chirped, "I met = Harold=20 at the Playboy party!" It apparently was a reference to Ford's = attending a=20 2005 Playboy Super Bowl party in Jacksonville, Fla.

Ford responded by telling reporters: "I was = there. I=20 like football, and I like girls."

Gillespie said a candidate who's the target = of a=20 racial jab -- either subtle or flagrant -- should publicly call = the attack=20 what it is. She said that changes the way viewers evaluate the ad = because=20 they are forced to deal more openly with their own biases about = race.

"The Ford campaign's response was the = textbook wrong=20 thing to do," Gillespie said. "They demurred (rather than) ... = call it=20 racist."
