The Clinton Campaign: How Low Can They Go: "Islamisizing" "Ghetoizing" Barack Obama
The Hillary Clinton campaign has gone down to a new low in Democratic politics---changing the face of the Democratic Donkey, to a Democratic Pig.
In a shameful attempt to make Senator Barack Obama look suspicious, they sent a two year old photo of Barack Obama in Africa, dressed up in traditional Somali clothing to the Drudge Report.
Rather than just "ghettoize" Mr. Obama, as Bill Clinton did, just prior to the South Carolina primary, they have now tried to put the Christian Senator from Illinois, as some how "Islamic"--in order to put doubt about him--because of his unusual name--in the minds of voters in Ohio.
Senator Clinton has gone from "Ms" nice to "Ms" mean, in the last few days.
The Clinton reaction to the criticism of the release of the photo is basically... no big deal.
I assume they mean that because the Obama NAFTA brochure was circulated in Ohio, they can release this photo.
Mrs. Clinton can try to reverse her historic support of NAFTA, but how does Senator Obama try to reverse the impact of a photo, showing less than understanding voters, the not so subtle attempt to link him to Africa and Islam?
Is he supposed to defend the color of his skin and repeat the fact that he isn't Muslim?
This is just another racial "code" to put back the fear of people in Ohio, who have lost many jobs as a result of NAFTA, to put a picture up, saying this guy is somehow strange.
With million dollar consultants, those of us who have been around, perhaps too long, understand that they understand, exactly what they are doing.
I suppose Senator Obama could say, "Shame on them."
