No doubt many of you have heard or seen this photo circulated by the Clintons.

DRUDGE REPORT 2008®

It shows Obama dressed in African dress during a trip to Kenya two years ago. The question is: Is this taking fear politics to a new low? Does it show Hilliary's shear desperation?

The Drudge report is putting out stuff to make them both look "bad." Although he is saying that the Obama photo was originating from the Clinton campaign.

Did Drudge print a photo of Laura Bush in a headscarf?

Thumbs down Obama photo: Is this taking fear politics to a new low?

Mrs Clinton whines about fliers that are factual but unflattering, while circulating this type of thing...

Nope. Nor did he publish those of Condi Rice. He did post plenty of Pelosi pictures. Remember, Drudge got his start with the Bill/Monica scandal.

So who here considers Drudge "fair and balanced"?

He's not. He's a Republican neocon hack. Although he has said a few nice things about Ron Paul.

OBAMA VOLUNTEERS IN HOUSTON TX

These volunteers obviously support the Cuban Communist dictatorship. Notice the Cuban flag with the image of Marxist Revolutionary Che Guvera on it. Many leftists, socialists and communists support Obama. It is obvious he will turn our country sharply left toward socialism. To fund his social programs he will tax and tax and tax.

As a Democrat and former supporter of Gov. Bill Richardson I find this photo of Obama supporters in Houston Tx very troubling. It reeks of Anti-Americanism. I am old enough to remember the threats the communist government in Cuba made with nuclear missles pointed at Miami. President Kennedy told the communists that the US would wage war on Cuba if they weren't removed. There are millions of Cubans in this country who have sought freedom from the likes of Castro and his death squad general Che Gravera. This photo tells them that Obama is not their candidate!

A little history for you youguns: The only time I agreed with a George Wallace complaint (and I met him and he complained a lot about his coverage) was when he shook hands after a speech. The photogs never budged until the Grand Kleagle shook his paw and then the bulbs went off!

Does anyone here doubt Ron Paul (and perhaps McCain) has some supporters who are right wing nuts? I think you need to separate the views of some supporters (even workers) from the candidate.

May we get to the issues now?
