CLINTON STAFFERS CIRCULATE 'DRESSED' OBAMA
Mon Feb 25 2008 06:51:00 ET

With a week to go until the Texas and Ohio primaries, stressed Clinton staffers circulated a photo over the weekend of a "dressed" Barack Obama.

The photo, taken in 2006, shows the Democrat frontrunner fitted as a Somali Elder, during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya.

The senator was on a five-country tour of Africa.

"Wouldn't we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC?" questioned one campaign staffer, in an email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.

In December, the campaign asked one of its volunteer county coordinators in Iowa to step down after the person forwarded an e-mail falsely stating that Barack Obama is a Muslim.

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe quickly accused the Clinton campaign Monday of 'shameful offensive fear-mongering' for circulating the snap.

Clinton campaign manager Maggie Williams responds: "If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed."

I thought the Noise Machine was only Republicans? It appears Hill has crossed the aisle. LOL

More goofy stuff. Now they'll take the picture and not include that he was dressing in kind in a foreign country. They'l say it was taken just before he met with Bin Laden to discuss the overthrow of America.

Good find, TSO. As I stated in my response on the other thread, I am extremely disappointed in both sides (Republican and Democrat) for doing this kind of stuff. This is not what an American Presidential election should be about. Its ashame.

Yep, Hillary camp leaked this photo to druge this morning. It was really genious on thier part if you think about it. If Obama camp raises a fuss about it and calls the photo divisive or embarrassing, he himself then insults the Somali's in the doing. And the picture taken for what it is could clearly be an alarming image given all the other rumors and jokes circulating about Obama. Bravo Camp Hillary. Promote whoever came up with this gem!!

You know what though? Dirty politics have been around for as long as we have had elections. For cripes sake, Martin van Buren was accused of wearing a corset by Davy Crockett, lol.

No imagination needed bro!

Bad news.

big4life · 02-26-2008, 09:39 AM

I can't understand why people have such a low opinion of politicians.

first of all he is not a muslim, he went to a church in chicago for several years before even thinking of becoming a politician

secondly, what is wrong with being a Muslim?

do you think being a Christian is better that being a Muslim?

do you think that in the American constitution there is a preferred religion?

I find these comments, regardless of what Midlifecrisis says RACIST.

I am atheist and therefore to me religions are all the same, but I respect everyone's beliefs (provided they don't want to impose them on others)

If I were a muslim I would find those comments extremely offensive.

The notion that muslims=bad is ignorant and racist

well by racist I mean categorizing some people in a negative way, regardless of their individuality, that's all.
I don't know if there is a more accurate term but you get the idea

I gotcha. I'd just say its discriminatory

midlifecrisis · 02-26-2008, 10:27 AM

Fuck Muslims. This country is not, never has been, never will be a nation of muslim law or belief. If you think thats racist, youre right. Next question?

And by the way, no Obama isnt a muslim. Nobody ever claimed he was that I have heard.

Here are a few examples from this forum this week alone
