CLINTON STAFFERS CIRCULATE 'DRESSED' OBAMA (Dirty Tricks!!)

CLINTON STAFFERS CIRCULATE 'DRESSED' OBAMA Mon Feb 25 2008 06:51:00 ET

With a week to go until the Texas and Ohio primaries, stressed Clinton staffers circulated a photo over the weekend of a "dressed" Barack Obama.

The photo, taken in 2006, shows the Democrat frontrunner fitted as a Somali Elder, during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya.

The senator was on a five-country tour of Africa.

"Wouldn't we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC?" questioned one campaign staffer, in an email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.

In December, the campaign asked one of its volunteer county coordinators in Iowa to step down after the person forwarded an e-mail falsely stating that Barack Obama is a Muslim.

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe quickly accused the Clinton campaign Monday of 'shameful offensive fear-mongering' for circulating the snap.

Clinton campaign manager Maggie Williams responds: "If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed."

It would make sense of Republicans did it because we are the party of funny pictures ....Dukakis in a tank, Kerry in Orange makeup and in a funny paper outfit.

Freeper Bannie was the first to post this picture to the Internet. Bannie did so a couple of days ago here in FR, and it's taken until today for this to go global.

Here's the thread: Caption Barry Hussein Obamma

This is quite the little campaign movie made on my dime.

I suppose he’s just playing Hillbilly at her own game, blaming all the flack on Hillbilly when the real point is to get more publicity. The dems are famous for yelling fire and pointing in one direction when the real hot tinder is in the exact opposite direction.

I remember one of her in a gold, tablecloth-looking dress that makes obama look fashionable.

Howlin, can you find it?

The only way I can imagine why obama would be unhappy is because it makes him look “fat”.

His family is very nice looking.

Hi, brwnsuga. I don't think anyone is really commenting on how they look, but rather that all of his half-brothers and sisters in Kenya are Muslims, and whether these deep ties would compromise his ability to defend our system against creeping Islamicization.

Has anyone seen this claim that Obama is actually biologically an Arab American, not African American(like he claims):

I came across it tonight. It’s long, but interesting.

Obama should be on Broadway or on “off Broadway”. He’s in the wrong field.

Without the red t-shirt (appropriate color for him) underneath, it would be even worse. Maybe someone will photoshop the t-shirt out before the dem convention.

Why is the fact that Mr. Obama is only 6.25% African Negro not reported?...

Federal law requires that to claim a minority status, you must be at least 1/8 of the descriptor, but for the sake of this article, I've converted it to a decimal fraction for easier comprehension. You must be at least 12.5% of the racial component you claim for minority status. Mr. Obama, claiming to be African-American, is half the legal threshold.

Wow.

I’m just getting a kick out of how your thread started innocently enough as one of FR’s many “Caption this...” gagfests, and how it then grew into this Internet-wide firestorm. Despite Team Hillary’s joy that you posted it, you deserve the Pajama Patrol Badge simply because you are giving Team Obama a good scare right now.

Did you read this part:

“Researching his roots reveal that on his father’s side, he is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region. Funny how circular is history; now the British again face the Madhi Army, albeit this time Shiite, not Sunni, as in nineteenth century Sudan.

But telling America’s black community that while their ancestors were breaking the shackles of slavery, Mr. Obama’s ancestors were placing those shackles upon their wrists would hardly play as an Oprah Winfrey best-seller.”

YIKES!

Thank you!

I kept telling myself to copy it on here; but life kept getting in the way. It turns out that--instead of procrastinationg--I was brilliantly (ha!) calculating to insure that its "debut" was one week before the next big stuff AND during this nice little war between the dems.

The luck of the ignorant!
