DES MOINES, Iowa - Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign on Sunday requested the resignation of a second Iowa volunteer coordinator who forwarded a hoax e-mail saying Barack Obama is a Muslim possibly intent on destroying the United States.
Obama is a member of the United Church of Christ and says he has never been a Muslim, but false rumors attempting to tie him to Islamic jihadists are circulating on the Internet.
"Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential Candidacy," read the e-mail. "Please forward to everyone you know. The Muslims have said they Plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at The highest level."
The Clinton campaign has decried the rumors as offensive and outrageous, and last week forced volunteer Jones County coordinator Judy Rose to resign after learning that she forwarded a such an e-mail on Nov. 21. But it turns out Rose wasn't the only one.
Linda Olson, a volunteer coordinator in Iowa County, had forwarded a similar version on Oct. 5, without comment, to 11 people. One of the recipients was Ben Young, a regional field director for Democrat Chris Dodd's campaign, who provided a copy to The Associated Press on Sunday.
The Clinton campaign responded by asking for Olson's resignation.
"We've made our position on this crystal clear," said Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee. "Our campaign does not tolerate this kind of activity or campaigning. As soon as it came to our attention, we asked this individual to step down."
Asked to explain why two people connected to the campaign would have forwarded similar e-mails and if the campaign was taking steps to find out if it's more widespread, Elleithee replied, "We communicated to all of our paid staff and volunteer leadership that the senator and the campaign have a zero tolerance policy for this type of activity."
Obama spokesman Bill Burton responded, "Iowans know garbage when they see it and it has no place in this race." Burton said Obama will focus on the debate over issues like health care, education and getting out of Iraq.
Rose has said she did not agree with the e-mail but was sending it to other area Democrats to show them how dirty politics was getting. Olson did not respond to an e-mail requesting comment.
OK, then. Just for the sake of accuracy, who among reporters or citizens has asked H Osama Obama if Mohammed is the prophet of God? If he can explain to Americans what he remembers of his school days at the madrassa? Taqiyya?
Oh yes. I forgot. Who’s asked how Obama knows Soros and what their connection is? How the Illinois Republican guy is that stepped down......opening Obama’s win opportunity? How the Republican guy’s WIFE/ex is?
Obama can be dangerous. His book “dreams of my father” or something like that seems to say he’s more in awe of a muslim father who abandoned his American mother and him... How are we to know his deepest loyalties don’t lie also in the dream of his father’s people??
Just my 2 cents, of course.
Whatever Hilly was trying to do here, it sure backfired.
So if obama is christian, where does he get his unusual name?
I think there may be some credibility to the e-mails. His past is certainly not normal; nor is his name.
Uhh...Is that a crescent moon on the flag? Why is that there.
Hildebeast doesn't want to attack him on an issue that can't be reversed. She is figuring that he will be her VP candidate and sew up the black vote.
Can you imagine if some conservative had done something so “non PC” as this? The uproar would be deafening.
SC state flag ... but, still telling, eh?
:)
Maybe the girl who sent the email should have been presented a “gold star”. I sure do not want Obama to be my President. And frankly Oprah doesn’t bother me a bit.
I decided a long time ago I was tired of a very, very rich black woman tell me how to be happy! And I feel the same if she were a very, very rich white woman!
So why should not Obamma's personal madrassa experience be relevent? Because minorities cannot be held to the same rules (or lack thereof)?
[semi-satire] Clinton also claimed that the Obama campaign was engaging in “dirty tricks.” “Several of our supporters have called our headquarters reporting that Obama’s campaign workers have called them on the phone and tried to persuade them not to vote for me,” Clinton alleged. “Obama’s minions are trying to undermine my support. It’s like they’re conducting a jihad against my right to be president. It’s underhanded. It’s un-American. It’s the kind of thing I will put a stop to once I’m president.”

Shelby Steele (who also had a white mother and a black father) has called attention to the way Barack is so interested in the father who left him when he was two, and not in the white relatives who actually raised him (mother and grandparents).
I still hear it vomited from the mouthes of lefties.
Isn't this a daily event? At 4 o'clock, every day, the team gathers for the lottery--to see who takes the fall for der Fuhererin.
And he never went to any madrassa coz CNN sez so.
