Barack-stabber: Pic of Obama w/turban from Clinton camp?
This one seems low, even for the Clintons (if indeed they are behind it). It seems a picture of Barack Obama wearing a turban has been making its way around the Internet, stoking the fires of intolerance among some who believe Obama is a Muslim, is Un-American, blah blah blah.
Obama cried foul, claiming it came from Hillary Clinton's people, or at worst, Hillary supporters. Hillary denied the charge, saying "I don't know what the controversy is - people wear these things when visiting Africa all the time. It's a show of respect to your hosts."
Fair enough, but we've seen this political trick many times before - publicly denounce it, and in private, do high-fives with your advisers.
I've always been a big admirer and supporter of the Clintons, but I wouldn't put it past them to do it, especially since Hillary's campaign is on life support. The Clintons fight hard, and they are well steeped in political trench warfare.
Either way, Obama has a right to be outraged, especially when conservatives, as well as supporters of the GOP, take great pains to mention Obama's middle name, Hussein. Here's hoping voters see right through it. So far, they seem to be.
More Obama lies coming up when I have more time to write.
