Fear Mongering
The Clinton campaign has apparently circulated a photograph of Senator Obama dressed in the garb of a Somali Elder while visiting his ancestral nation of Kenya. And of course every toothless, mouth-breathing, Republi-tard like Congressman Kingston will be insisting this is proof that the senator is... well... a bad man.
Drudge, for instance, is running this as his banner headline this morning.
I don't even know what to say about this. It's the worst kind of fear mongering politics I've seen since Cheney said that Ned Lamont's primary victory over Joe Lieberman was a victory for the "al-Qaeda types". The Clintons have clearly embraced Bill Kristol's recommendation to use fear mongering tactics against Senator Obama. And the chapter in my book "Glenn Beck Has An Unfortunate Name" just got longer.
Tomorrow night's Ohio debate is going to be ugly.

Wait... what's the problem? Are American's not allowed to dress like that? What about Bush's sword dance?

Some how Americans are going to be racist, whether it's against a black man or, whatever they think they're seeing in that photo. "Oh shit. It looks they'll elect a black man? Well, better make him a Muslim, too. They'll never elect a Muslim." Great, so no matter what, unless we elect the old white man or the old white woman we're going to drag out and stir up the racism in this country even if it destroys what we've been building during this process. Wonderful. Let's just hope our enduring (new) faith in our fellow Americans is warranted and sustained during this ambush.

Really Hillary? Really?
It's people like you that give bitchy, frumpy old white women with asses the size of Texas a bad name!
P.S.
Stop dressing like you're the madame in an upscale thai whore house. >_>
