2. So, what is the big deal.
Respecting another's culture in their homeland is honorable.

3. I could give a rats ass if hillary or barack wore muslim clothing. but please do remember that
women have to cover their head in muslim countries.

Lets atleast try to be honest about that fact.

But even that said, I could give a shit if she wore it because she liked it.

6. Great photo! She wears it well, which some do not.


There's also a photo of her and Chelsea in Palestine, I believe, wearing hijab.

Now that pic doesn't look like a "smear" to me, either....

9. Send it to your buddy Matt Drudge.
and while your at it, to the GOP headquarters. They can compare their prints.

12. EXCUSE me?
I happen to support HRC. I don't think that pic of her is a smear, any more than I think the pic of BHO is a smear.

I think that there are some people who would rather talk/cry about that BHO photo than talk about how the BHO campaign sends out flyers about Clintons views on NAFTA with inaccurate information in them.

As First Lady, there are pics of Clinton wearing all sorts of "national dress." It's a casualty of the position.

It's a casualty of Presidents, too--hard to make this one look "more stupid" but here ya go:



Don't get pissed at me because I don't take umbrage at a picture that is inoffensive.

Not a hijab

Technically that's a Shayla since it doesn't cover the neck, but I guess the point still stands, whatever it was. What was your point again?

Sad

I think it is sad that the elections seem to be about who has the best smear campaign instead of addressing issues and problems.
And even sadder that the label 'Muslim' is used as an insult again and again (I am not a Muslim but an atheist believing in freedom of, and from, religion.)

And how many holocausts does humanity need before we learn? Yesterday the Jewish people, today the Muslims, and who will it be tomorrow?

Sad.

Since when?

To the first comment; since when does tolerance and acceptance of another culture or even curiosity make you a practitioner. I might wear womens clothing, but that doesn't make me a woman, although I think I've been able to fool some people before.

That is not a Hijab.

In the first picture, Hillary is not wearing a "Hijab". It is called a Gabi. The photo was taken when she was in Eritrea in 1997. It's looks like "Islamic" clothes but it is worn by Eritrean and Ethiopian Christians is those countries. Here is another picture of her wearing it.

for the Athiest

If yours so concerned about the "issues", you should probably go to a country that bans freedom of religion....then you can talk about all the issues THEY want you to....

Hijab - Gabi

Hijab - Gabi, who really gives a damn? Hillary this and Hillary that. Barack this and Barack that. Both a couple of Socialist pinkos right out of the Karl Marx playbook. Both are losers. Oh, and to the jihadist who says he is coming here to kick yanks ass, Bring it on asshole! And by the way, remember that satellite we shot down the other night?
Well, if you jags in the middle east keep this bullshit up, the U.S. is going to create a huge, smoking, glowing hole over there. Now, take that Hijab - Gabi or whatever you call those rags you wear on your stinking heads and shove them up your ass.

21. What's your point????
Hillary herself said that she has worn the national costumes of many countries. I think that she wears it well, and as much as I dislike Obama, I didn't see anything wrong about his picture either.

What I find utterly disgusting is that so called Democrats would rather believe crap posted by Drudge.
