Thundercunt Sets Limbo Bar Dangerously Low



Hillary Clinton has really lost it. The above is a photo was emailed to the Drudge Report by Clinton staffers:

With a week to go until the Texas and Ohio primaries, stressed Clinton staffers circulated a photo over the weekend of a "dressed" Barack Obama.
The photo, taken in 2006, shows the Democrat frontrunner fitted as a Somali Elder, during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya.


The Obama camp responds:

Plouffe said in a statement: “On the very day that Senator Clinton is giving a speech about restoring respect for America in the world, her campaign has engaged in the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we’ve seen from either party in this election. This is part of a disturbing pattern that led her county chairs to resign in Iowa, her campaign chairman to resign in New Hampshire, and it’s exactly the kind of divisive politics that turns away Americans of all parties and diminishes respect for America in the world," said Plouffe.

I'm amazed. I did not expect these kinds of tactics until the general election. By Republicans.

Here's a clip from a couple of days ago where Senator Thundercunt accuses Barry of using "tactics right out of Karl Rove's playbook."



Really, Thundercunt? Mailers about healthcare are more Rovian than smearing a black man with a funny name, using a photo that preys on the xenophobic fears of the weak minded?

Furthermore, another of your new strategies is the use of sarcasm?



Shame on you, Hillary Clinton. You are truly America at it's worst.

I look forward to the day that Clinton, Inc. is relegated to the dustbins of history.

UPDATE:
The Clinton campaign puts out a response from Maggie Williams, which doesn't respond to the question of whether a staffer was circulating the photo of Obama in Somali garb, but takes issue with the Obama campaign's embrace of the issue:

Enough.

If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely.

This is nothing more than an obvious and transparent attempt to distract from the serious issues confronting our country today and to attempt to create the very divisions they claim to decry.

We will not be distracted.
