Atomic Kitten had a nasty exchange with someone saying they were from the Clinton campaign.
See thread here -
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4201100&mesg_id=4201100 At first it seemed confusing because the caller said they were from Iowa and the numbers were from a San Fran area code and included the number for Hillary's CA HQ(still with me ;-)). AK also said the caller was obviously on a cell phone.
I have no doubts that Atomic Kitten got this call or that the caller made a stupid statement regarding Obama being a muslim.
AK also did some sleuthing and found the local area was as a service for phone banking done by the Clinton campaign.
So I was poking around the Clinton site and they have a special online tool that allows you to phone bank with your cell phone from anywhere in the country using a targeted call list you are provided with minimal charge to yourself.
So I am sorry an overzealous Clinton supporter decided to be stupid but this does not appear to be the campaign itself.

I work at home and screen my calls for the most part, and I've been getting calls obviously from a cell phone but with a (415) area code, the area code of SF where I live. *69 doesn't work on the number (415) 908-0190.
I picked up the phone today and was advised they were the Clinton campaign calling from Iowa. I let her go on a bit and then told her I was supporting Barack Obama.
She said and I quote: "I do hope you consider that Obama's Muslim upbringing will be a problem in the general election."
My obscenity-laden response let her know in no uncertain terms that they were lying about Barack Obama and that the Clintons are irrevocably damaging the Democratic Party.
I am consumed by my utter contempt for the Clinton campaign.
my phone:
from the Clinton campaign:
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/hq/california/talk/call /
THE SAME DAMN # 908-0190
The phone company just confirmed that they offer local area codes for this type of phone-banking and that this number is, in fact, the Clinton campaign ...
