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."
Developing...
EDITOR'S NOTE: Other leaders have worn local costumes:
One can only hope.
Clinton did it.
Nuff said.
Talk about idiotic desperation! Go for it Hillary!
...the results must be coming in for Tuesday the 4th...she’s not doing well
My question is: If Obama becomes our next president - how long will it take before reparations becomes the topic of discussion?
No, silly. Not a few years ago when she was the darling of the MSM. Now that they’ve ‘biased’ against her, they may.
Now, if Mrs. Stalin were a Republican, then yes. In fact, she would not have won the NY Senate seat they would have trounced her so badly.
Sucks when The Man turns against you, doesn’t it.
That’s why we don’t like the MSM and why we fight against tyrannical thugs in black robes.
Run Hillaryous Run!
Bill and Hillary Criminal can take their enablers and brain dead sycophants with them.
It would make sense of Republicans did it because we are the party of funny pictures ....Dukakis in a tank, Kerry in Orange makeup and in a funny paper outfit.
Its such a sour note because they weren’t trying to be funny. They are trying to kneecap this guy and being defensive and angry about it at the same time. But, don’t question their sense of humor..er...patriotism.
Given a choice between publishing an embarrassing picture of Obama and hanging a flaming tire full of gasoline around his neck you know there would be a debate about it.
A little too little, too late. This should have come out right after South Carolina.
Yawn.... reminds me of the 1920’s pictures of Herbert Hoover wearing an Indian chief’s feather headdress - the sort of rather silly things politicians do on the order of kissing babies....
If McCain runs this during the general Obama is finished!
Wasn’t there a picture of Hillary and Chelsea wearing headscarves when Bill was President? I think they were visiting an Islamic country. This is desperation, sheer desperation.
Kerry windsurfing was a picture that hurt him badly. Rudy in drag was the picture which hurt him. Dukakis in a tank hurt him. This is a picture which needs to be put out and kept there in order for it to sink in.
Let me just say, this looks like one of those stupid things that politicians have to do when they travel overseas. It’s the old “Local Color” gag. It, almost certainly, has nothing to do with whether or not Barack Obama is or is not a Muslim.
(I realize that is a double either/or dodge, but I figured, given the sensitivity of the subject, it was best to double up)
Thank God it was not the “insensitive nasty dirty-tricks hate-monger” Republicans who did this.
When are these idiots going to learn that folks back home dont like seeing this stuff.
I really thought the kindergarten and 3rd grade essays would have done him in.
Hillary's only hope now is to release private reports that he obtained a secret decoder ring with xeroxed boxtops.< /s>
Someone needs to forward to the Hillary people the articles about the guy saying he did drugs and had homosexual sex with Obama. Let the liberals eat each other like two spiders in a jar.
Looks as though the Clintons are trying to “Swift-Bwana” Obama.
“this looks like one of those stupid things that politicians have to do when they travel overseas”
Correct BUT a photo is worth millions in adds especially when it shows Obamma Rammma Ding Dong looking like a mooselimb.
. . . but he has trouble wearing an American flag pin.
This one picture has the potential to destroy Obama.
Amin Al Husseini meets with Adolf Hitler in November 1942, weeks before the decision to implement the Final Solution which sent Europe’s Jews to the gas chamber.
I just saw Hillary's mockery of Obama "the sky will open...". Man that is bad, no matter who wins this nomination that will be great fodder for us. She will lose the majority of support from Obama's side if she ends up with the nomination over those remarks. I really believe the McCain can really make some inroads into the black voting bloc if Hillary gets this nomination. I just saw a pastor of a black church in Texas leading his flock to the voting booth to early vote. They were all carrying Obama signs.
LOL!
This will have absolutely no effect on Obama voters...except to make them angry at Hillary. His voters are Blacks, white men who hate Hillary, and young voters who see right through tactics like this and swear they would never vote for her because of them.
She and Bill are of another time when their dirty tricks were not expected. Now everyone is wise to them. She will soon be just a bad memory.
Let’s see the picture of Bill Clinton with the AFRO WIG on!!
“This is desperation, sheer desperation.”
You’re probably right but I suspect we’ll see more of this. B Hussein Obama has immediate family who are citizens of other countries. He spent a good portion of his childhood in other countries himself. That doesn’t make him bad but it does effect his loyalties and view. He sees himself a world citizen and not an American.
Just heard on the radio that Farakahn is endorsing Osama.
Big whoop. He is wearing the native dress while visiting Kenya. If this is the worst that can be done to him - he might as well start measuring for the new curtains in the Oval Office now.
That’s one really SCARY quote.
You mean, they won’t just remember “I was HONORED to be standing next to Barack Obama. HONORED to be breathing the very air that’s touched his sacred lungs. HONORED that some of his dust mites are jumping onto me, even as I speak. HONORED just to be able to say his name, to be in his presence, to have lived long enough to have heard his words of... of HOPE... of... The Future... of HOPE of The Future...of....of......” [faints]
Pass the popcorn?
