A Step Too Far

I've been getting angrier and angrier about this Obama photo thing all day, but it wasn't until this that I went over the top.

"I know nothing about it," Clinton told ABC affiliate WFAA. "This is in the public domain. But let's just stop and ask yourself: 'Why are you -- why is anybody concerned about this?'"

Why? Why? Because after your campaign tried to float drug allegations, after your campaign, including your husband, tried to use racism as a lever on his own party, now somebody in your campaign has been pushing this photo around with the clear intent of trying to slime Obama with the blatantly false, right wing driven Muslim smear!!!

Look, you can try and argue that Clinton or the campaign officials knew nothing about it, but by their response, that doesn't matter. They could have denounced this, but instead they're playing this cute little game. They're not even carrying out the pretense of pretending to find out who did it.

But he stopped short of denying whether a Clinton aide may have passed it to the DrudgeReport. I'm not in a position to ask 700 people to come in," said Wolfson.

The Clinton campaign has used race, sex, and now religion in this campaign and they're still losing. (Top Clinton officials are trying to push the Weathermen story, too.)

This needs to end soon.

Later: I calmed down a little overnight. The amazing thing is, I was actually praising the Clinton camp over the weekend for their effective attack (Clinton finally finds a good attack footing.)

The question was whether they would "hit and get out" or whether they would push it too hard and go too far. Guess which I think happened.

And, it doesn't matter that it started on Drudge. My issue is the way the Clinton campaign handled it. I barely mentioned the thing yesterday morning, but the way they jumped on it that pissed me off.
