Hillary Interviews To Be Rove’s Replacement
Today came the predictable outcome of the Clinton campaign’s shadow strategy of trying to paint Obama as an anti-Semite, which started when the Clinton campaign implied to prominent Jewish Americans that Obama was not a friend of Israel (not true) and surrounded himself with anti-Semites (not true). For quite some time now Clinton supporters have also been spreading lies about his relation (there is none) to controversial Minister Louis Farrakhan (who recently spoke out in favor of Obama), trying to paint Obama as an anti-Semite. At last night’s debate MSNBC’s Tim Russert pulled the asshole move by actually giving the ridiculous lies a forum by asking Obama if he rejects his support, and then proceeded to beat the dead horse for the next seven minutes despite Obama’s consistent and firm denunciation of Farrakhan. Hillary, never missing a good chance to pile on to attack her party’s nominee belabored the issue even further by trying to tell Obama that “denouncing” isn’t as strong a word as “rejecting”, so if he was serious, he needs to say “reject” instead of “denounce” (despite the fact that “denounce” is obviously stronger than “reject”).
Going back to that predictable outcome, today the GOP borrowed yet another one of Hillary’s lines of attacks against Obama, accusing him (being sure to use his middle name and the picture of Obama in “Muslim” dress that was reportedly being circulated from within the Clinton campaign — a charge they have not definitively denied) of being in bed with anti-Semites. Here is the press release from the Tennessee GOP:
This would be why it isn’t a good idea for Democrats to try to paint their presidential nominee as anti-Semitic, because it turns out the ever shameless GOP will not hesitate to pick up an attack and run with it. Oh, and it isn’t a good idea because it is MORALLY WRONG! So thank you Hillary, for once again putting your own political ambitions above your party and common decency.
If you’d like to personally give the Tennessee GOP a piece of your mind about this shameless attack, you can contact them here, or if you’d rather directly contact the person responsible, you can email him here: chairman@tngop.org.
