FUX News:" Clinton Campaign off the record "cannot be sure" that they provided pic to Drudge

FUX reporter saying that Clinton Campaign's point was that Obama gets better treatment from the media. And they needed to drop this photo in Drudge's email to make this point?

So, FUX disseminating the Obama pic now to be followed by other cable and network news meida; looks like Hillary's Mission is Accomplished. And Hillary's campaign "cannot be sure" f they furnished our RW enemies with the photo... which of course is intended to titilate the inner-Islamophobe in all of us. If Hillary couldn't morph him into Jesse Jackson, why not a Muslim?

Any Hillary supporter willing to defend this tactic?

other than the "Baby on Board" generation hyperventilating over nothing.

Do you think anything is wrong with those?

Are you familiar with the Obama/muslim e-mails?

Gheez.

Do you approve?

I'm sorry you face losing so much in Clinton's collapse,
but save yourself some grief and start facing what your candidate has become.

I stopped counting prior to 12:00 today. Here are at least 12 of the same threads, meant
to distract from Clinton's huge losing streak, campaign finances, and meltdowns.

For the delegate story, the Clinton campaign leaked the BS rumor that they were going after pledged delegates. When questioned, they denied it and then demanded that Obama's campaign make the same promise, with the net result being an ABC news article referring to "questions about Obama's tactics."

Here, the Clintons circulate a context-less photo designed to make bigots think of Obama as a Muslim, i.e. (to the bigots) an ally to terrorists. When Obama's people call it out, the Clintons suggest that it's Obama who is being a bigot about it.

These cynical gotcha tactics have no part in a Democratic primary.

It just makes our candidate look weird.

Although there are countless ideas and beliefs that distinguish *us* from *them*, one of the bedrock principles of liberalism is tolerance; so why then should any liberal democrat care about this or any other photo of any leader, political nominee, or representative?

Why do we continue to allow the right-wing to control our message to the electorate?

Why not prove that we are the party of tolerance and acceptance, that we reject the fear-filled politics of Bush and his ilk toward anything remotely representative of Islam - or any other religion\culture -, and embrace the diversity - cultural or otherwise - of our own candidates?

I am not afraid of a female President.

I am not afraid of a male President.

I am not afraid of a black President.

I am not afraid of a President born of a culture different than my own.

I am not afraid of a President who has a culturally different name than my own.

And I don't understand why any other liberal would.

I REJECT the attempted demonization of any candidate through distribution of these silly photos, and as a liberal democrat, I refuse to participate in the politics of hate.

And I REFUSE to be manipulated. One would think that the last 7 years would have taught us that we've all been manipulated anough. *sad*

/rant off

"off the record" that they "cannot be sure" whether the photo was sent by them. Are you saying the reporter misspoke? Or is lying? That is verbatim what he said. before that, he citied Maggie Williams' on-the-record statement.

:rofl: . . . to keep from crying

You guys are nucking futs.

I refer to Obama's zealots as the "Baby on Board" generation. What else could we expect from them?

followed. That is a pathetic attempt to cover an appeal to people's basest instincts.

It's not as though this would be contrary to the Clinton campaign's method of operation so far.

That they have no idea what's going on and who is doing what.

At the very worst, it suggests that the Clinton campaign is prepared to undermine the Democratic party in order to anoint Hillary as the nominee.

And everything in the middle ain't good either.

They are such a reliable source. :sarcasm:

... if it is reported by more sources, will you admit that its a repugnant tactic?

The campaign has over 700 staffers, Obama probably has even more. How, in the matter of an hour or two could Hillary possibly be sure that none of those 700 people sent that photo to Drudge. She would be foolish to deny it only to find out a day or two from now, that someone did. Then we'd have headlines everywhere that Hillary is a liar.
