Democratic prez race now officially in the gutter

[Dueller]

First it was the goofy plagiarism of speeches charge. Then She comes out blasting him for fliers to Ohio voters he sent outlining her support of NAFTA. Today a picture of Obama in 2006 showing him dressed in Arab garb on a visit to his father's home in Kenya is being circulated on the internet and attributed to Clinton campaign. Her campaign officials in NH and OH are resigning over the picture.

UGGGGGGGGGLLLLLLLLYYYYYYY POLITICS. Beginning to make swiftboating in 2004 look tame.

[Neilk]

I love HRC's campaign manager asking what is so offensive about the picture? You almost expect her to say, "oh the one of Barack Hussein Osama.... I mean Obama?"

They are getting desperate.

Can't believe they'd mess with Barry like that!

[Hugh R]

Cool! I'd love to see all those disenfranchised voters, and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson rallying.

[Dueller]

Man. She is viscious. Talk about scorched earth. I imagine the gloves will be off for tomorrow nights debate.

Any evidence on this?

must've posted at the same time there; thanks for the link.

to be fair 'resigning over the picture' seems to be somewhat in conflict with the what the article states.

The big H sure does seem intent on ensuring that no woman is ever again taken seriously in the political arena. I wonder if the women's lib groups are getting this feeling?

Agree on the article conflicting somewhat with the news report I heard.

Wait until Osama releases the pic with Hill kissing her gal pal.

.........is a very different effect, and message.

Yeah, I don't get the big deal about the picture.

There are plenty of legitimate things to go after Obama for. Unfortunately for Hillary, 90% of them she is also guilty of. She should be pushing the Tony Rezko angle, there is a whole lot there.

[Jim Richards]

This looks kind of gay.

[BeyGon]

I'm with HRC on this, what's his problem?

It is a very innocent picture, but HRC's campaign is trying to reignite the fear the Obama might be a Muslim along the lines of that nasty e-mail.

Maybe, or perhaps his outfit put it out there, and is pointing fingers at her, to make her look worse than she already does, because it is indeed an innocent pic

[sammyg2]

Maybe Hillary put the picture out there, making Obama's group look like they set up Hillary? I saw that once in a cartoon
j/k

Bottom line is there is absolutely nothing she could do that would shock me, up to and including assassination.

[Jim Richards]

Sounds like there's a run on tin foil this afternoon.

Now you're thinking like a politician!
