Clinton campaign turns to dirty politics
Hillary Clinton's staffers have leaked a photo of Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, donning traditional Somalian garbs. I'm almost amazed and ashamed of the Clinton's. They are the last people who should be dishing dirt. I'm not even mad, what I really would like to know is, how were they planning on hurting Obama? by suggesting he is a Muslim? so now there's something wrong with Muslims? I find it even more amazing that Clinton's aides didn't even deny leaking the photos! This is a sad day...Here are quick quotes:"On the very day that Senator Clinton is giving a speech about restoring respect for America in the world, her campaign has engaged in the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we've seen from either party in this election,.... This is part of a disturbing pattern that led her county chairs to resign in Iowa, her campaign chairman to resign in New Hampshire, and it's exactly the kind of divisive politics that turns away Americans of all parties and diminishes respect for America in the world," David Plouffe [Obama's campaign manager] said in a statement.
"If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed," Clinton's campaign manager, Maggie Williams replied. "Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely."
