‘Dirty trick’ is probably not the proper description, but distributing it around election time as some sort of smoking gun ‘proof’ that Obama is a Muslim is deliberately destructive politics. I don’t want him to be President, but to take that photograph as proof that Obama is a Muslim plant is ridiculous, and clearly it was meant to evoke that response. I can’t stand Pelosi, but the fact she wore Muslim garb when recently in the Middle East doesn’t make her a Muslim. There are a ton of instances from both sides of the aisle in which politicians have ‘dressed up’ situationally.
This is not “proof” of anything. It just reminds everyone of his connections—biological and otherwise—with a religion which is composed of many who want to chop off our heads in the name of religion. These are connections he would rather have people forget.
