Maybe Clinton didn't leak the Obama photo. But I wouldn't be surprised if she did

[mudesi]

Given her recent history, I'd say it's actually quite likely that the Clinton campaign was behind it.

She has been talking about terrorism lately in the same fashion as Karl Rove ("Who do you want as commander in chief in a time of war blah blah blah....").

She started with Rezko. Then the handshake thing happened. Then the plagiarism. Then the flyers. And more things I forgot about listed by others in my last thread.

What, exactly, makes anybody think she is incapable of sending Drudge that photo? It's not like she has any moral qualms over pathetic smear attempts.

1. Blah blah blah, let's help Drudge divide the Party. nt

2. What do you mean, LEAK? It was in the National Enquirer

it was hardly "leaked".

[mrreowwr_kittty]

3. National Examiner.

Which has less than a quarter of the Enquirer's circulation.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

6. examiner, not enquirer

[MercutioATC]

7. The Examiner, not the Enquirer.

The difference? About a million subscribers.

[LisaM]

8. Sorry, Examiner. n/t

[anigbrowl]

10. Untrue.

If you can't get the simple facts straight, then you probably won't be too good on the big issues.

4. How do you "leak" a published article on the Internet?

That's like "leaking" the periodic table of elements.

15. That's different than calling it to someon'e attention, esp. a right-winger like Drudge

What did they think he would do with it? Were they just having an intellectual discussion about media coverage?

9. What is a sad statement is that many people would believe her campaign

to be responsible. That's the rep it seems to have now.

[BenDavid]

11. Well hell! did she or didn't she? make up your mind, instead of

Maybe Clinton didn't leak the Obama photo. But I wouldn't be surprised if she did
Either say yes or no.....

[mudesi]

12. There's no proof either way

All I'm saying is that her campaign has been slinging mud for so long now that it's hard to give her the benefit of the doubt.

19. just more Rovian tactic of spreading innuendos via your OP

innuendos

[DesertFlower]

13. sorry. i just got online. what photo? nt

[HeraldSquare212]

14. Dont forget the attempted 'radical' smear last week.

It'd be funny if they're getting hoisted on their own petard, as it were - they say they didn't do it, but no one believes them because of their history.

[katandmoon]

16. Whine, whine, whine! It's POLITICS!

There is no such thing as PLAYING NICE in politics. Why, I'll bet even Saint Obama is capable of NOT PLAYING NICE.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

17. Three words:

Who. Fucking. Cares.

[rodeodance]

21. gosh, it has been a long time since

i have agreed with an obamafolk. :-)

[rodeodance]

18. So say" might"---then you proceed to diss here. Crap on your paranoid OP

22. I think O supporters are so pissed off about the pic because it hits them in the bread basket.

O has been enjoying solid support among Black American voters because after being shit on for 400 years, they see a chance to elect one of their own. The problem is, O is not one of their own. His ancestors were not brought here as slaves. He never lived in a ghetto or worked as a share-cropper. His mother is a white woman from Kansas for chrisake. Things like this pic serve to remind most Black Americans that O may not be who they think he is. For that reason, even if HC did release it, I think it's fair game.

She's been laying the foundation for this run for thirty years and doing it well. Now that she has done all the hard work, a younger, good-looking man gets the promotion.

[high density]

23. Yeah I guess I won't support him now because of this picture

Do you think our support for him is that fluid?

Jeeze you guys are naive.

[Deep13]

24. Go read it again.

I did not say one pic was going to undo his support among Black Americans.

Go back to your messiah and enjoy his speeches before McCain crushes him.

Jesus, I don't know how only you are, but if you are an O supporter on the internet, you are probably pretty young. I've been at this for 25 years and know how this country behaves at election time. Seeing the uncritical throngs swoon over promises that cannot possibly be fulfulled using empty, cliched and frankly, dishonest speeches with no concept of what it takes to manage this country makes me think that I am not the one being naive.
