Obama supporters are already, as you'll see in the video above, making hay of this Clinton comment from this morning's avail in Toledo.
But you can see it showing up in a McCain campaign ad as well.
"I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002," Clinton says.
Sen. B. A. Barackus is spending a lot of his drug campaign money in Texas in an attempt to knock Sen. Thundercunt out of the race with a decisive victory on March 4:
Taking advantage of his financial edge, Senator Barack Obama is buying large amounts of advertising and building extensive get-out-the-vote operations in an effort to end Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s candidacy with twin defeats Tuesday in Ohio and Texas.
Mr. Obama, campaign officials said, has spent about $10 million on television advertising in Texas from early in February through Election Day; Mrs. Clinton has spent just less than $5 million. Mr. Obama has spent about $5.3 million for television advertising in Ohio, compared with just under $3 million for Mrs. Clinton, the officials said.
Most polls show both the Ohio and Texas races too close to call.
As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws. I personally believe that civil unions represent the best way to secure that equal treatment. But I also believe that the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide on their own how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples — whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union, or a civil marriage. Unlike Senator Clinton, I support the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) – a position I have held since before arriving in the U.S. Senate. While some say we should repeal only part of the law, I believe we should get rid of that statute altogether. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples, which is precisely what DOMA does. I have also called for us to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and I have worked to improve the Uniting American Families Act so we can afford same-sex couples the same rights and obligations as married couples in our immigration system.
Given that the Right wants to concentrate on Barack Obama's middle name, it might be wise to take a look back at some of the great Western heros of our time. Juan Cole explains:
I want to say something about Barack Hussein Obama's name. It is a name to be proud of. It is an American name. It is a blessed name. It is a heroic name, as heroic and American in its own way as the name of General Omar Nelson Bradley or the name of Benjamin Franklin. And denigrating that name is a form of racial and religious bigotry of the most vile and debased sort. It is a prejudice against names deriving from Semitic languages!
Christian, Western heroes have often been bequeathed Middle Eastern names. Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, the medieval Spanish hero, carried the name El Cid, from the Arabic al-Sayyid, "the lord."
Barack and Hussein are Semitic words. Americans have been named with Semitic names since the founding of the Republic. Fourteen of our 43 presidents have had Semitic names (see below). And, American English contains many Arabic-derived words that we use every day and without which we would be much impoverished. America is a world civilization with a world heritage, something Cunninghamism will never understand.
Did you know there are other things to talk about than black babies and funny hats in this election cycle? I know, I'm shocked as well.
Yesterday, Juan McCain and Barry Hussein got in to a back and forth about the 100 year war in Iraq. It started with this from Tuesday's debate:
Then WALNUTS! hits back with this:
"When you examine that statement, it's pretty remarkable," McCain told a crowd in Tyler, Texas.
"I have some news. Al-Qaida is in Iraq. It's called `al-Qaida in Iraq,'" McCain said, drawing laughter at Obama's expense.
Obama responds later that day:
Mr. Obama, in Columbus, responded soon after. "I have some news for John McCain," Mr. Obama said at a large rally at Ohio State University. "There was no such thing as Al Qaeda in Iraq until George Bush and John McCain decided to invade Iraq."
Mr. Obama mocked his potential Republican rival as he answered Mr. McCain's charge that he lacks sufficient foreign-policy experience for the presidency.
"I've been paying attention, John McCain," Mr. Obama said, speaking to a crowd of 7,000 in the St. John Arena on the Ohio State campus. "So John McCain may like to say he wants to follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of Hell, but so far, all he's done is follow George Bush into a misguided war in Iraq."
Booooooooooring. Since when do the American people care about these so called issues?
Don't worry. I have a feeling that by the end of today, we'll be back to discussing what really matters: Terrorist middle names and sit-and-spin playtime with lobbyists.
If you didn't watch it, I'm jealous. I wish I hadn't. That's what the Youtubes are for.
First, yes. Hillary did go there:
Here's the opening remarks. Watch how she won't shut the fuck up. Ever:
Barry discusses Hillary's experience:
Here, Hillary explains why she won't release her tax returns or personal schedule from when she was First Manimal. Then Russert asks Barry why he hates Jews. Barry says that he condems Farrakhan and his actions. Then Hillary jumps in to get the gold star (or Star of David) and says that she would Kung Fu kick Farrakhan right in his Mooslim face.
Closing remarks. Hillary finally kinda sorta apologizes for the Iraq vote. Listen to Barry's answer:
Some old man claiming to have run for president as well has just endorsed Barry Hussein:
A former adviser for Dodd said the timing of the Connecticut senator's endorsement "works pretty well" given that foreign policy has become a key issue of the campaign.
"With Clinton on the attack, a recognized leader on foreign and military affairs is vouching for Obama's readiness," the Dodd adviser told CNN.
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.
