This photo is probably rapidly circulating the internet today!

From the Drudge Report:

CLINTON STAFFERS CIRCULATE 'DRESSED' OBAMA
Mon Feb 25 2008 06:51:00 ET

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 senator was on a five-country tour of Africa.

"Wouldn't we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC?" questioned one campaign staffer, in an email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.

In December, the campaign asked one of its volunteer county coordinators in Iowa to step down after the person forwarded an e-mail falsely stating that Barack Obama is a Muslim.

Update from Drudge:

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe quickly accused the Clinton campaign Monday of 'shameful offensive fear-mongering' for circulating the snap.

Clinton campaign manager Maggie Williams responds: "If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed."

Developing...

And then there is this:

Farrakkan Praises Obama as "Hope of Entire World."

Excerpt:

CHICAGO — In his first major public address since a cancer crisis, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the “hope of the entire world” that the U.S. will change for the better. The 74-year-old Farrakhan, former leader of the black Muslim group, never endorsed Obama outright, but spent much of his nearly two-hour speech Sunday to an estimated crowd of 20,000 people praising the Illinois senator.

“This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better,” he said. “This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama’s audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed.”

Let's look at this sentence:

"This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow."

Umm....where's the mention of "the white folks?"

Oh...here it is!

Farrakhan compared Obama to the religion’s founder, Fard Muhammad, who also had a white mother and black father.
“A black man with a white mother became a savior to us,” he told the crowd of mostly followers. “A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.”

So....according to Farrakhan, as long as a politician is not all white, then he becomes a "savior" in the eyes of this former Nation of Islam leader?

Hmmmm...





I'm sure that the Obama camp must be thinking...with "friends" like these...who needs enemies?

On a totally unrelated note (or is it???) a friend of mine sent me the following humorous email.

Happy Monday! ;-)

The Bathtub Test



During a visit to the mental asylum,

a visitor asked the Director,

'How do you determine whether

or not a patient should be

institutionalized?'



'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up

a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon,

a teacup and a bucket to the

patient and ask him or her to

empty the bathtub.'



'Oh, I understand,' said the visitor.

'A normal person would use the

bucket because it's bigger than

the spoon or the teacup.'



''No,' said the Director. 'A normal

person would pull the plug.

"Would you like a bed near a window?"



ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON,

OR DO YOU WANT THE BED

NEXT TO MINE ?

(Obama staffer whispers: "wish we could put that plug into Farakkhan's mouth!")

Black Leader: Democratic Party Architect of Racism"

Now...that's something that one would never hear at an Obama rally!

How strange that people like commenter "John," in a previous thread, would state:

Civil rights movement era: 1950's-present
Liberal ideals drove the biggest change in American society since the Civil War, the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. All Americans who believe in freedom and opportunity cannot help but be inspired by the valiant struggles of MLK and others.

Yet incorrectly claim this:

Also recall if you will that the major opponents of civil rights were conservatives.
