Dirt begins to fly at Obama
War opens with hints about ‘suspect’ backers

Sarah Baxter Charleston, South Carolina


WHEN Hillary Clinton warned that Barack Obama had not been thoroughly “vetted”, as she has been, she was hinting darkly at trouble to come over her rival’s radical pastor and shady patron in Chicago, the Illinois senator’s home town.

Clinton is convinced that her opponent will be eviscerated by the Republican attack machine should he win the Democratic presidential nomination. That, at any rate, is her camp’s excuse for doing everything it can to discredit him behind the scenes. The battle to tear down Obama and his claim to represent “hope” has begun.

His momentous victory in Iowa and his humbling in New Hampshire have launched a war of attrition between the two camps.

At enormous rallies, Obama’s new slogan, “Yes, we can”, is rekindling the fervour of his supporters in defiance of Clinton’s accusation that he peddles false hopes.

He's just what the Republicans wanted.

anything worthwhile.

How much money is the healthcare industry paying her to mandate healthcare? :eyes:

Scary black pastor who advocates support of Africa and a property sale connected to their home. It was already thrown at him a year ago. America yawned.

I do worry about how many people may be negatively influenced, though. I have no idea if more people out there feel as I do, or if more people feel like THEY do. :shrug:

I'm from New York, and the "si se puede" chat originated in the HIspanic community who rally in favor of immigration reform. Many Hispanics are now using it in Obama's meetings, but it doesn't mean that it's "Obama new slogan".

The Timesonline should do a little research.

I think I found a good news tip for Media Matters. :-)

and yes I think it shows real ignorance that journalists don't know that, but it's not really the Obama campaign's fault.

She's the one person in the MSM that's said anything about it. It was on MSNBC.

First Drudge, now Murdoch. This seems to be the preferred story among conservative sites and newspapers.
