1. Defend away...

[Ed Suspicious]

2. She is the mother of birtherism?

What a skanky thing to do.

She's the original Trump on the Obama issue.

[Scuba]

3. No class. Slime oozing from her every pore.

4. And then they blamed and shamed Obama for their turban photo smear

Maggie Williams, campaign manager for Clinton, played down the significance of the picture. "If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely."

From HuffPo:

Desperate and willing to do anything to win, the Clintons resorted to a naked form of racism aimed directly at white working-class voters in the rural portions of the state. Their message: Barack Obama cannot win because he’s black.

In the early stages of the campaign, it was Clinton’s cadre who kept playing the race card. In New Hampshire, Clinton’s co-chair, Billy Shaheen, accused Obama of being a drug dealer; then there was the photograph of Sen. Barack Obama in Somali garb leaked to the press by Clinton’s staff.

8. Still makes me sick to this day

They say politics is a dirty business, well here is one of the sources of it and unless we denounce this always and everywhere we will never get anywhere..
