So many people here don't understand why THAT photo might be bothersome to Senator Obama. I thought maybe helping them think a little would be nice.

They posted photos of the Clintons in traditional clothing but the Clintons didn't have crappy smear emails being sent all over the internets about how they were Muslim terrorists. Why isn't it the same thing?

Maybe you could explain it to them for me.

Edited because I never claimed to be a writer :banghead:

5. Don't need to keep trying, thanks.
Both are silly attempts to make the Democratic candidate scarier than the alternative. If Clinton's middle name were Hussein and her father and stepfather were from countries with large Muslim populations you can bet that the same claim would be made about her. If Obama were a woman he'd be the target of similar emails to the Clinton rumors. We can bet on it.

6. You're correct
which is why the wide display of the photo is disturbing to the Obama campaign and why Clinton's non-denial of who alerted Drudge to the photo's existence is so troublesome.

And why photos of Clinton in traditional clothing isn't a problem for Clinton and the comparison of the two is laughable.

I'm not a DU historian, but I don't recall any of the stories you linked being posted here about Clinton. Could have happened, I just don't remember seeing them.

However, the Obama is a Muslim terrorist email ends up here on a regular basis by 'well meaning' posters. Now the photo is here too. Hmmmm what a coincidence.

11. I can't search at the moment, but I have seen similar posted here
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 04:23 PM by Gormy Cuss
I think the Goldstar one and the mean to the Secret Service ones, as well others not linked to those I picked from Snopes, ones that question her career and personal life in ways that are meant to convince people that she's just too scary for the average voter.

I understand your point about the photo, but IMHO posting it here is nowhere near as injurious as not discussing it and how it has potential to damage the campaign.

12. No, I'm comparing ridiculous attacks.
In fact, I think there is less traction for rumors that Obama is a Muslim terrorist than there is for Clinton as a bitch and the latter feeds into the fear that women aren't up to to the job in general.

13. pretending that she hasn't been maligned is just revisionist..
My only question of Obama has been the same all along. Can he take a punch? Well not so much.

16. He took the punch...
and hit back. What's toughness to you, responding with similar disgusting smear tactics? That's "taking a punch"? Vile attacks that prey on ignorance and fear should be denounced.

Clinton Surrogate Compares Obama Ad to Nazi March
http://news.yahoo.com/s/thenation/20080201/cm_thenation...
Fri Feb 1, 2:23 PM ET

The Nation -- On a media conference call organized by the Hillary Clinton campaign today, Clinton surrogate Len Nichols compared an Obama health care ad to Nazis.
----------

Accusing political opponents of Nazism is an outrageous smear. Raising the specter of a Nazi march in response to a health care mailer that evokes the insurance industry is so absurd, it would be hard to take the attack seriously, were it not launched from a high profile national campaign conference call in this crucial stretch of the presidential race. And political observers know, of course, that the Clinton Campaign regularly arranges opportunities for surrogates to launch these kind of smears, which are later followed up with apologies. (See: Bob Johnson, Bill Shaheen, Bob Kerrey, and Francine Torge, to name the most recent offenders.) For his part, Nichols did not immediately return a call requesting further comment.
-------------------------
Len Nichols, Director of New America's Health Policy Program, stated, "For nearly 17 years I have worked tirelessly to reform our nation's struggling health system. Today my passion overwhelmed me. I chose an analogy that was wholly inappropriate. I am deeply sorry for any offense that my unfortunate comments may have caused. I made unfortunate comments that do not accurately reflect my bipartisan conviction, political philosophy, or most importantly, my opinions about Senator Obama and his historic campaign for the United States presidency."

Provide a link with regard to your first post on this thread. Or don't. Provide a link to respond to the OP. Or don't. Or spread bs if you can't back up what you post. Doesn't really matter.
