AMAZING people consider this photo a threat to our national security!!

The deduction is Neanderthal: A + B = What the —-??

Far better to have a charismatic President who respects cultural sensitivities than a President who resorts to desperate acts of fear mongering every time her ratings drop a notch.

The Clinton Campaign is a Sleaze Factory.

It's hard to understand why Senator Obama is more than willing to play dress up for a Muslim-dominated country, but when it comes to wearing the American flag on his lapel, he refuses.

He is fitting into the Liberal stereotype.

Listen to Maggie Williams. Can't believe these people. Her campaign is the sleaze factory. She will do anything to win. OH, TX get rid of her for good. New Yorkers should be ashamed to have her as senator.

HISTORY LESSON ON HILLARY
The entire list below represents historical facts that are not in dispute anywhere.
So let's think about the logic of those who would consider, even for a moment, bringing anyone associated with the Clintons back into the White House-----especially Hillary.
The Clintons have been telling America that Hillary is the most qualified candidate for president based on her record,' which they say includes her eight years in the White House as First Lady - or "co-president" - and her seven years in the Senate.
In fact, in his stump speeches, Bill Clinton goes so far as to marvel at his wife's "genius" and repeatedly claims that he never made a major policy, legislative or political decision without consulting her during that 1st Clinton Administration.
So here is a PARTIAL list of her accomplishments, activities, and behavior during the past 15 years since they first ran for President in 1992:
1) As First Lady, Hillary assumed authority over Health Care Reform, process that cost the taxpayers over $13 million. She told both Bill Bradley and Pat Moynahan, key votes needed to pass her legislation, that she would 'demonize' anyone who opposed it. But it was opposed; she couldn't even get it to a vote in a Congress controlled by her own party. (And in the next election, her party lost control of both the House and Senate.)
2) Hillary also assumed authority over selecting a female Attorney General. Her first two recommendations (Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood) were forced to withdraw their names from consideration, and then she chose Janet Reno.
The same Janet Reno has since been described by Bill himself as 'my worst mistake.'
3) Hillary was also the person who recommended Lani Guanier for head of the Civil Rights Commission. When Guanier's radical views became known, her name had to be withdrawn....need more?
4) Hillary recommended three of her former law partners for Administration jobs: Web Hubbell, Vince Foster, and William Kennedy for positions in the Justice Department, White House staff, and the Treasury Dept., respectively.
Hubbell was later imprisoned, Foster allegedly committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to
resign.
5) Hillary also recommended a close friend of the Clintons, Craig Livingstone, for the position of director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of up to 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, both Hillary and her husband denied knowing him. (FBI
agent Dennis Sculimbrene later confirmed in a 1996 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing both the drug use and Hillary' s involvement in hiring Livingstone.
As a result, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office, which had previously served seven presidents for over thirty years without any such incident.)
6) In order to open 'slots' in the White House for her friends the Harry Thomasons (to whom millions of dollars in travel contracts could be awarded), Hillary had the entire staff of the White House Travel Office fired; they were reported to the FBI for gross mismanagement' and their reputations ruined. After a thirty-month investigation, only one, Billy Dale, was charged with a crime - mixing personal money with White House funds when he cashed checks. The jury acquitted him in less than two hours.
7) Another of Hillary's assumed duties was directing the "bimbo eruption squad" and scandal defense. How competently did she perform? Just follow these dots:
She is the one who urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. She also stubbornly refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill's lying about and later admitting the affair.
Then they had to settle with Paula Jones after all.
And Bill lost his law license for lying to the grand jury.
And Bill was impeached by the House.
And Hillary almost got herself indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice. She avoided it mostly because she repeated, 'I do not recall,' 'I have no recollection,' and 'I don't know' 56 times
under oath.

8) Hillary accepted the traditional First Lady's role of decorator of the White House at Christmas, but in a unique Hillary way. In 1994,
for example, the First Lady's Tree in the Blue Room (the focal point each year) was decorated with drug paraphernalia, sex toys, and pornographic ornaments, all personally approved by Hillary as the invited artists' depictions of the theme, 'The Twelve Days of Christmas.'
9) Hillary wrote 'It Takes a Village,' demonstrating her Socialist viewpoint.
10) Hillary decided to seek election to the Senate in a state where she had never lived. Her husband pardoned FALN terrorists in order to get
Latino support and the New Square Hassidim to get Jewish support. Hillary also had Bill pardon her brother's clients, for a small fee, to get financial support.
11) Then Hillary left the White House, but later had to return $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork she had stolen.
12) In the campaign for the Senate, Hillary played the "gender card" by portraying her opponent (Lazio) as a bully picking on a poor woman.
13) Hillary's husband further protected her by asking the National Archives to withhold from the public until 2012 many records of their time in the White House, including much of Hillary's correspondence and her calendars. (There are ongoing lawsuits to force the release of those records.)
14) As a Senator from New York, Hillary has passed no major legislation. She has deferred to the senior Senator (Schumer) to tend to the needs of New Yorkers, even on the hot issue of medical problems of workers involved in the cleanup of Ground Zero after 9/11.
15) Hillary's one notable vote, supporting the plan to invade Iraq, she has since disavowed.
Again, all above are facts that are not in dispute. Together they paint a picture of a distburbing pattern of manipulation, deceipt, and bad judgement that her conduct of this campaign confirms, yet grossly understates.
Someone told me this resume, while impressive, feels more like it belongs to someone in a crime family.

I always thought the Clintons were beyond contempt for many of their shenanigans, but this latest act probably "takes the cake".

She can kiss that Veep slot goodbye!

Honey bears, you are ASSUMING WAY TOO MUCH. There is no proof that this photo was "leaked," or "circulated" from "Clinton staffers," or otherwise. There is an assumption from a very uptight Obama campaign that it came from Clinton's group, and a very hungry press jumped on the implication and again leaps to trash Hillary. Check out the Newsweek article:

Obama staffers and supporters are assuming that the Clinton campaign actively leaked the "dressed photo." But it's more likely that some low-level staffer forwarded the image to another low-level staffer and then it drifted, Drudgeward, through the series of tubes--unbeknownst to campaign brass. "Circulated" is a capacious word, and it certainly doesn't mean "leaked to the press." What's more, I'm reluctant believe Drudge's account of the picture's provenance until I actually see the "circulated" email; it's totally possible that some anti-Democrat operative is attempting to tarnish both Clinton and Obama, bank-shot-style.

This isn't surprising. Remember the comments Hillary made about Jews?

http://the.virginianfederalist.com/2007/12/hillary-clinton-facts.html

Today we begin with Hillary’s anti-Semitic slurs. In 1974 Hillary called Paul Fray, the campaign manager of then boyfriend Bill Clinton, a "f---ing Jew bastard." This incident took place during a heated campaign meeting at Bill Clinton’s campaign headquarters on the night Bill lost his bid for Congress.

Hillary’s goons immediately went after Fray’s credibility, in typical Clintonesque manner. In a July 18, 2000 appearance on “Good Morning America,” Fray said that he would be more than willing to take a lie-detector test. The New York Post arranged for such a test conducted by state-licensed Arkansas polygrapher Jeff Hubanks.

After administering a comprehensive three-hour test Hubanks concluded, “There's no doubt in my mind that Mr. Fray is truthful." The NY Post had Richard Keifer, former head of the FBI's polygraph unit, analyze the test. He too concluded that there was nothing to show that Fray was lying about the incident. This story has also been confirmed by Neil McDonald, a Clinton campaign worker who overheard the incident from outside the room.

The Clintons, of course, deny that this ever occurred.

Thank you "Honey bears" poster. Like you, I share concerns about the negative assumptions associated with the "leak" of this picture. Even assuming that it was sent from someone at Clinton's campaign, the stated subject line appears to address concerns about the different treatment the candidates experience in the media. More importantly, I have yet to hear of any text associated with this picture that includes any racist or repugnant connotations. My first reaction on seeing the picture has nothing to do with these negative concepts. I see someone embracing a culture and am happy to see it. I think that, unfortunately, people assume that this picture MUST connote racism or a lack of patriotism.

I am not so naive as to think that politicians will use virtually any tool at their disposal to discredit an opponent, but I believe that all politicians do so, including Obama. And voters have a tendency to make irrational assumptions about the motives and degree of planning associated with the actions or statements of opposing candidates.

As much as I would like to believe Obama and as certain as I am that I will vote for him if he gets the nomination, I have serious concerns about his ability to achieve the vision he eloquently describes. I know many people equally capable of painting a beautiful picture of the future; he holds no monopoly on that skill. But a president must go farther and must operate in an arena that, not only may remain divisive despite efforts to unify, but that also may throw up roadblock after roadblock. And those that seek to block the realization of his vision will not be persuaded by even the most skilled rhetoric. I am concerned that either Obama will fail to achieve many of his stated goals or, perhaps worse, may demonstrate that, despite his assertions to the contrary, he is the same sort of politician that he criticizes. If not, I will feel deeply relieved.

One last comment- Hoffman, I am troubled with your decision to use "racist" in this context. I have no problem with criticisms of the candidates and certainly understand your need to discuss the possibility that the Clinton campaign released this picture. Your use of that charged term, however, is questionable given the limited "facts" you have to support it. Hell, you could state that, if Hillary did release this photo with the purpose of fanning racist stereotypes and conjecture, she would be complicit in such racism. That may be a fair statement. You could even slam her for lame tactics, but to call Clinton a racist or state that she uses racist tactics without any support is unwarranted and disturbing. I would hope for better from a news source that respect.

Hilary is lying!

Thats Clintons style. Hilary shows how low she can go to beat her opponents.

Anything fits in Clintons sleazy machine.

Hilary, we have not forgot watergate, travelgate, monica-gate. The whole Clinton presidency is mired with scandals.

Lets beat Hilary, America.

She is not getting my vote, she should not get yours too!

If incidents like these are aimed at nothing more than stirring up the anthill or dragging down the democratic process, they're obviously working. This is the kind of crap we want to move beyond, isn't it?

So. Where is the proof this picture was
circulated by the Clinton Campaign?
It came from Matt Drudge. Mister Ethics. Dumpster Diver to the Stars and Online Bobo of the Republican Party.
Careful about the name-calling Obama backers.
It could come back on you in the fall election as millions of angry moderates swarm to John McCain.

Hey, Tom Jones up there, stick to seeing please.

What's the hubbub, anyway? He looks good in white.

Enough already! This has been blown out of proportion. Let's get to the real issues and leave rumor and innuendo behind! (...and I'm an Obama supporter!!)

Maggie Williams as HNIC responds on cue, as her role is not much more to provide the Clinton's a black "cover" to hide behind while they pump out the racist smear tactics against Obama.

Don't pretend that the intention behind putting out that photo was not exploitive. How can anyone who considers themselves a Democrat continue to support her with a clear conscience?
