The teevee is going berserk over the Obama photo. MSNBC, CNN, Fox "News"-

[AlinPA]

I just flipped through the channels and they are going wild. The evening network news will go nuts with it. They are trying to hurt Obama, implying that he is a Muslim. Mission accomplished, Clintons.

[bicentennial_baby]

1. No they aren't...

At least not on MSNBC, which I've had on for hours now.

Utter flamebait.

[Barack_America]

7. Yep. Not a single mention on MSNBC. n/t

[NDambi]

16. Me too..haven't heard a word..and I'm a Obama supporter

Not a word

[goodgd_yall]

47. Even Fox News isn't focusing on the Muslim thing

They just described the picture and talked about the flap about it. Not much interest so far.

[book_worm]

2. Nope, this will come back and bite the Clinton's in the ass too.

[Breeze54]

3. It must be a slow news day then...

:eyes:

Glad I don't have cable or satellite.

[Unsane]

4. There is, without a doubt, no fucking way I will ever vote for Hillary Clinton after this.

No. Fucking. Way.

[MADem]

18. Like you would have otherwise...please. Don't insult your own intelligence.

Your vitriol knew no bounds well before this latest "excuse" for umbrage.

[elizm]

36. No way a crazed woman like her needs to be running our country...

And before anyone leaps....I am a white woman over 50 who just barely breaks 50,000 a year. I AM her supposed BASE.

[RamboLiberal]

41. I'm a 55 year old white woman breaking just over 50k

Supposed to be her base as well, and up to last week when she drove the final nail for me with the plagiarism crap I was going to vote for her if she got the nomination, but now no way.

I live in Pennsylvania and was looking forward to maybe actually having a say in this primary (voting for Obama) but I'm really hoping at this point Obama kicks her butt next week in Texas and Ohio so even the Clintons can see the writing on the wall that IT'S OVER!

[elizm]

52. ANd the plagiarism crap was just a tip of the iceberg compared to the past 3 days...

Hope you guys up there in PA can deal her a crushing blow. If it goes that far I may be compelled to take a drive to help GOTV! :)

[quinnox]

5. If Obama is the nominee, the photo will be used for sure by GOP

in attack ads. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans will buy it.

[Alhena]

8. No tv network will run that as an attack ad

[MADem]

13. They don't have to run it as an "attack" ad. They just have to throw it up there

while they're talking about his lack of foreign policy experience. And LINGER on it.

And then, they'll say something about his leadership abilities in general, while LINGERING on that photo of him at the Harken Steak Fry during the singing of the anthem.

A picture is worth a thousand words, after all.

Do you actually think the Dukakis ads talking about his military experience or lack of same actually included a statement that said "Waaaah, waaaah, look at DUKAKIS sittin' in the TANK!!! Doesn't he look like an IDIOT with that HELMET on???"

Hasn't anyone paid attention to the GOP playbook since Reagan ran for office? At all? No one here remembers the "RAT" ad that resulted in the fucking MSM changing the word DEMOCRATIC to DEMOCRAT? A code word that persists to this very day?

[anigbrowl]

23. Hillary Clinton is immune to attacks! Unfortunately she's her own worst enemy.

Don't some people here ever get tired of concern trolling?

[MADem]

32. I didn't say that, or even infer that, at all. I said nothing about Clinton. Not one sentence.

I find it amusing how someone can make a valid point about what the GOP might do, and there's always someone who has to pull the argument beyond any assertions that were made, and then ASCRIBE that view.

It isn't a well constructed argument on your part.

[anigbrowl]

48. I'm expressing my own opinion, not dissecting yours.

[MADem]

59. What was the point of the "concern troll" slice, then? And why reply to me if you weren't

commenting on what I'd said? Why not respond to the OP?

:shrug:

[Bucky]

15. Right. It'll be done as a viral email--which is much harder to fight against

But even with this shit going on, Obama will clean McCain's clock.

[RamboLiberal]

42. They will run it from a 527 I bet

Look at the Swiftboat crap they ran. And if they don't they'll make sure it gets out there by running and talking about it endlessly just like they did with what was a small buy by the Swiftboaters.

[anigbrowl]

20. Fine - if they're that gullible, too bad.

Meantime Obama will keep appealling tot he vast majority of Americans who are blessed with common sense and a sincere desire to improve the country.

[ericgtr]

25. Another example of how Hillary is helping McCain out

Chalk another point up for the republicans in the GE.

[malik flavors]

30. The fact that it's all over the news right now pretty much makes it unusable in the general.

That's why this is a good thing. The whole Muslim card will play itself out and then won't be as effective when the general roles around. Hillary is making Obama a stronger candidate.

[backscatter712]

6. Just stay cool.

Let Obama do what he does - he knows how to fight this smear.

At least it shouldn't be long before the smearmeisters overplay their hand and get boomeranged.

[Tarheel_Dem]

26. I agree, all Obama has to do is remind the American people that

this is the politics of personal destruction that we're all sick & tired of. Status Quo. Politics As Usual.

Remind them that this is what we are trying to transcend which is why he is the one best suited to lead us to be much bigger than this kind of politics.

[ORDem]

9. I read the online MSNBC article, if anything it hurts Clinton not Obama

the way it is written.

:kick:

[loveangelc]

10. um, what are you talking about? I've been watching CNN and they haven't done that.

I was watching Fox News earlier and they said it was actually good for Obama and bad for Clinton, so IDK what youre talking about...

[KittyWampus]

11. FLAMEBAIT

[Arkansas Granny]

12. This is what they do. They saturate the airwaves with anything

that will make their viewers sit up and take notice. They seldom report stories that actually give you facts and make you think. They are going for sensationalism which boosts their ratings.

[DearAbby]

14. If Clinton campaign had anything to do with this

it looks like it has backfired badly. This is a blatant personal attack. What if Obama were a muslim, is this what this country has sunk too? To redicule someone based on their personal religious beliefs?

It is a TERROR TACTIC, people. Those using it, are by definition terrorists, to instill fear. But oh so subtle. Its the 911 BE AFRAID tactic. It has backfired. How can anyone claim this is fair campaign practices? Those responsible should own up to it and soon, it will get worse.

[K Gardner]

17. Maybe you should have stayed on a channel instead of flipping. At least CNN is savaging

Clinton over the photo. Cafferty is voicing concerns, along with viewers, over her mental state. All are covering the Novak and Alter columns which are calling for Hillary to drop out. There has been more than one mention of Hillary's desperation and confusing tactics. Its not good for Hillary.

Senator Obama went to Kenya as a diplomatic envoy. He donned the garb as a US Senator. Clinton tried to use the picture to fearmonger. Shame on them.. the only mission accomplished is sealing Hillary's fate.

[goldcanyonaz]

19. Are they going to mispronounce his name too? They love using Osama instead of Obama.

[DearAbby]

34. Do you have any shame? n/t

[goldcanyonaz]

37. Obviously you don't have any shame. They mispronouce his name a lot.

I've written in to complain about it, have you? Or do you just pick on other people online?

[DearAbby]

40. I apologize, you are right they do mispronounce his name

quite a bit. I am upset with this situation, and I jumped. My apologies.

[K Gardner]

21. Oh, one more thing: BULLSHIT on your OP. No one has "implied he's a Muslim", but you.

[RememberWellstone]

50. Channeling

these Obamanites are good at it supposedly, they know everything.

[MoonRiver]

22. I've had it on and off a few times today,

and haven't heard anything about it. Nice attempted spin.

[NDambi]

28. First mention today on MSNBC on Tweety's show...

[Bluebear]

24. Yesterday "Mawmaw" had to turn off the TV because the "mean lady" was scaring toddlers.

According to a poster here, that is. Why are these things never on when I am watching?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

27. Oh Shit. Did I Miss The Thread Where There Was Proof She Had A Hand In It? Link Please.

Jackass.

[goldcanyonaz]

29. We don't do proof here. We're like the TMZ of politics.

[Tarc]

43. Obama evanglicals don't need proof, they just have faith

:rofl:

[Tarheel_Dem]

31. Geez....OzarkDem is that you?

You guys have really become a bunch of unhinged, screaming banchees. I get so sick of these "The Sky is Falling" threads. Obama can handle this. I know a lot of you are hoping this will take him down, but it won't.

Just as Michelle's "proud" moment didn't have any impact, or the overblown "snub", or the alleged gay affair with the psycho dude. But keep 'em coming, it only seems to be helping Obama.

[yourguide]

33. ROFL!!!!

[IA_Seth]

35. What photo?

Geez, maybe im under a rock here in Iowa, but I really don't even know what photo you're talking about?

[Adelante]

38. Oh, sweetie

I caught a break and my ISP went down for a few hours, so I missed much of it. Obama's a MUSLIM!! :crazy:

[IA_Seth]

39. Oh NO!

Not a M-m-m-Muslim!

Lord, perhaps I don't want to know what photo all this craziness refers to, eh?

I can't wait until this is over, how bout you?

ON EDIT: I am not sure what a Mulsim is, so I corrected my spelling. hee hee.

[Adelante]

44. That would be: Oh, Noes!1!!11

Give the babe a kiss for me

[adigal]

45. I don't believe Hillary did this - I think it was the republicans n/t

[Mz Pip]

46. Fine

Put it out there now along with all the other photos of our leaders visiting Muslim countries and dressing in the attire of that culture. Using that picture as some sort of proof of anything then Laura Bush is a Muslim, Hillary Clinton is a Muslim and so is George Bush.

This will be so old news by November it won't matter anymore.

People who are that stupid probably can't find their way our of their houses much les to a polling place.

[Norrin Radd]

49. Whatever. If they try to use this pic, just drag out the one of bush

holding hands with Prince Abdullah.

[rucky]

51. I just got here. Where's the photo?

[Quixote1818]

53. Go to

www.drudgereport.com

[rucky]

55. Thanks

fortunately I found it without having to "go there."

[onenote]

54. oh goody. Another lying, hit and run poster

You're an idiot.

[mythyc]

56. It made BBC radio... does that count?

:D

I heard it on the way home on NPR. those brits were going crazy on it let me tell you....

[kid a]

57. not true...

[demo dutch]

58. Moot point, might as well get all out in the open if not now, it'll happen in the GE, consider it a

favor!!!!
