Hillary Campaign Makes Obama Blacker - see photos side by side
Racist much?

Clinton campaign making Obama "blacker" by kos Wed Mar 05, 2008


Or maybe more Muslim? The sordid details are in this diary by Troutnut, but it can be distilled down to this



... the ad is right here at Clinton's campaign website, so the Clinton campaign is clearly lying.

3. This has been debunked
in most sane Democratic forums on the net. However, I realize that Obama supporters here love this sort of thing, so I am sure they will be here to post on this topic which has at least 50 threads before yours.

4. Still don't know why the mainstream media hasn't picked up on this.
Can you imagine the hoopla if his campaign had made her look older in one of his ads. The Hillbots would be screaming "Sexism!" from the rooftops.

5. Why Is Sen. Osama Protecting Radical Muslims in Afghanistan?
Would you really trust someone that dark at three in the morning?

6. It looks like the contrast of the image was changed to improve it,
not make Obama look blacker. This is getting ridiculous.

10. So, if I go to her website, and see a picture of him, I will vote for her. Question, why did I go to
her website? Dontcha think maybe I was going to vote for her, anyway. I wouldn't go to her website to find out about her opponent.

12. While Obama attracts GOP voters
they really should not be allowed to bring their gutter tactics and smear campaigns to Dem political forums.

Its one thing to switch your support from GOP to a Dem candidate, but Dems don't engage in this kind of political discourse, so you need to get used to it.

Its not welcome here.

21. Kos drank the Hillary-hate Kool-aid a long time ago
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 06:12 PM by DemGa
He's just an amateur with a popular website -- looking sillier by the day.

22. This is bullshit, someone adjusted the contrast of the image, big deal
This is not a fucking conspiracy. And I'm an Obama supporter. You want to attack Hillary, do it for the things she says, not for some made up racist shit.

I would have thought her endorsement of McCain would piss off her supporters a bit. Apparently not. Gee I bet if Obama came out and said those exact words they'd be railing on him big time.

23. All three of those photos are completely different. What is it exactly that Hillary has done?
The actual footage is the darkest of all! Obama looks fine in Hillary's ad. What is the problem?
