It is most assuredly NOT THE CASE that "only a few people has access to this picture." The photo appeared on the Drudge report this morning. But it was posted on this blog on Saturday: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1975275/posts?q=1&;page=72#72 or http://tinyurl.com/yvwwdq If you're not familiar with freerepublic.com, it's a notorious hangout for right-wingers. And it was posted on this blog, also right-wing, on Sunday: http://sweetness-light.com/archive/obama-wore-muslim-gear-during- kenya-trip or http://tinyurl.com/ysxtqj Note that the photo was originally published in the tabloid National Examiner on February 4. Between these two right-wing blogs and the National Examiner, *everybody in the world* had access to the photo. Drudge himself is a right-winger. He and his cronies would like nothing better than to have the two Democratic candidates at each others' throats. It'll save them a lot of trouble if the two of them destroy each other before the national campaign even begins. How easy would it be, do you think, for a right-winger who read one of those two blogs I cited to email Drudge with the photo, saying he or she was on Clinton's staff? Do you think Drudge would really go to a lot of trouble to make sure that was the case? Or would he be more likely to take the person at his/her word and just post the photo himself, saying it was from a Clinton staff member, knowing it would cause a huge ruckus between the two campaigns? For that matter, it could even have been an Obama supporter who sent Drudge the photo and claimed to be on Clinton's staff, knowing it would reflect badly on Clinton if Drudge published it and attributed it to the Clinton campaign. The Clinton campaign, for the record, has denied knowing anything about the photo; and no one has come up with any evidence that they sent it to Drudge. Your willingness to repeat anti-Clinton garbage as if it were the gospel truth, without even trying to check it out or think about alternate possibilities, could well contribute in the end to the defeat of *whoever* gets the Democratic nomination. You're playing right into the hands of the right-wingers. I hope you get this email. If you do, I hope you post a retraction and explain where the photo actually came from. You're welcome to quote this email if you like. If you don't correct the record, I'll surely do so myself come Saturday, and I'll include the fact that I emailed you with the information today, Monday. Judy Stein [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not sure what your point is. My point is that Hillary and Bill will do anything to win this election. I also think that Hillary would be poison for this country if she wins. I'm not sure who had access to the picture. I am for Barack Obama, who I consider to be a spiritual leader in the political realm which is a rare eventuality. I think the Clintons' are egotists and are not spiritually inspirational. It doesn't really matter who released the picture. The Clintons use the same Karl Rove tactics themselves. The invented those tactics, and they continue to use them. Hillary is going through 'stages of grief' that she is losing: Denial, Anger, Minimizing, and other extreme mood changes. She is neither an inspirational leader, nor a good executive. Her campaign is in shambles. Hopefully it will snow hard tomorrow in Ohio, so that the atmosphere; Purfies enough for clarity to prevail. It seems Hillary wins in States where darkness and confusion and anger prevail. The most densely populated states, where people act more like sheep, And have no imagination. The Clintons had their time. Let a new wind clean out the cob-webs... --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
