Clinton campaign reaches for new low with underhanded leak of photo
February 25th, 2008 BrianAs many have probably heard the Clinton campaign used the Drudge Report to leak a photo of him in African tribal wear to make an underhanded attack against him (for those who haven’t follow the link). This is reminiscent of the comments used by Good ol’ Bill in South Carolina.
The worst part is when the Obama campaign called it exactly what it was, racial baiting, the Clinton campaign sought to say that Obama must find something wrong about this and he’s the one with the problem. mmm, whoa back the horse up…..you release a picture you know is meant to inflame racial tensions in America and then its the subject of the hit who is responsible? Once again the Clintons have reached a new low.
I hope they fry for this and I’ll do my best to help contribute to that process. This is the dirtiest of the dirty and obviously means that the Clinton campaign will attempt a scorched earth policy, pulling out all the stops to bury Obama. Sadly for Obama he’s stuck between a rock and a hard place. This story needs to die because its a question he doesn’t want to answer, because it makes the campaign about race, a distinction he has explicitly avoided.
It is up to us to fight this fight for him and contact all those super delegates and tell them not to stand by her on this one. Tell them this type of campaigning is unacceptable, and we won’t stand for attack a man just because its black. We expect that of Drudge and Rush Limbaugh, but definitely not the Democratic party.
