THIS Is Why HRC Had a Moral Obligation to UNEQUIVOCALLY DENOUNCE the Falsehoods--->>>

As seen in the same 60 Minutes episode on Sunday, the lies about Obama are WORKING. Here is a voter who only hesitates to vote for Obama because of the lies he's heard.

Hillary should have DENOUNCED the falsehoods. She should have said that she knows, UNEQUIVOCALLY, that Barack Obama is not a Muslim. When she qualified it with, "as far as I know," she intentionally enabled the kind of doubt and suspicion the gentleman below has been confused by.

This is beyond the pale. HRC needs to apologize.





http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/02/29/60minutes/main3894659_page3.shtml

In Chillicothe, people told 60 Minutes that both race and gender would both be hidden factors in southern Ohio - that many blue collar workers here won’t vote for a woman and others would never vote for a black. And Sen. Obama has another problem: a malicious campaign against him that surfaced in a number of our interviews.

Schoenholtz told Kroft he is leaning towards Obama, but that there were a couple of issues he was “not too clear” on.

Asked what they were, Schoenholtz said, “Well, I'm hearin' he doesn't even know the National Anthem, you know. He wouldn't use the Holy Bible. He's got his own beliefs, got the Muslim beliefs. Couple issues that bothers me at heart.”

“You know that's not true,” Kroft remarked.

“No. I’m just…this is what I've been told,” he replied.


“One of the things that we found in southern Ohio - not widespread, but something that popped up on our radar screen all the time - people talking about it, this idea that you're a Muslim,” Kroft told Sen. Obama.

“Right. Did you correct them, Steve?” Obama asked.

“I did correct them,” Kroft replied.

“There you go,” Obama said.

1. She said "Of course not!" And the video debunks ALL the fake outrage DU wallowed in today.
You're a dollar short and 8 hours late.

5. So you know Drudge's lie was completely debunked, but you're re-posting the same crap anyway??
Why are you doing this?

11. "fake outrage?"
Are not members of this community allowed to express their outrage?

Why belittle their feelings?

:(

13. My post has magically disappeared. I repeat.
I am not LATE.

I have SEEN the video. I SAW the broadcast. The outrage is absolutely justified and will be until HRC UNEQUIVOCALLY DENOUNCES the LIES.

14. Your fake debunking has been totally DEBUNKED.
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 05:51 PM by bvar22
...but you already know that.
The "entire" clip from 60 Minutes has been posted.
Knowingly posting phony "information" and false "debunkings" should be grounds for a granite tombstone.



On Edit:
What happened to you, MethuenProgressive?
You used to be one of the saner Hillary supporters with your dedication to Math and Polls.
Now you are stooping to this?


That is all.

15. I missed it - they were claiming she never said it?
I cannot believe how low HRC has stooped. And she's taking her supporters down with her.

3. Why would she?
She's desperate to stay in the campaign and - since at least three of her campaign workers have been busted for SENDING those e-mails - she'll take any in-road she can get. Yes...even a bigoted one like that.

It's disgusting, frankly.

6. I am so happy the IGNORE function is working today, despite the high traffic.
To the only person in my IGNORE list - back off. Why do you insist on replying to my every post? You're sick.

8. Her campaign has been pushing the Muslim smear emails behind the scenes.

9. By not DENOUNCING the lies, she endorsed them.
By leaving the door open, she's complicit.

12. I'm sure HRC had discussed whether Obama is Muslim w/HRC's Muslim chief of staff
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 04:49 PM by Divernan
HRC's Traveling Chief of Staff/personal assistant - who accompanies HRC to every campaign stop, day and night, is Huma Abedin. This Muslim daughter of Muslim parents was raised in Saudi Arabia from the age of 2 until she left to go to college in the US. She speaks fluent Arabic and is said to be HRC's go to person for advice on Middle East questions. Google her name to get details.

"Huma Abedin, Hillary’s beautiful, enigmatic “body person,” spends nearly every waking minute with Hillary and so has the best sense of her daily rhythms and routines."

Clinton, like her husband, is not a racist, but doesn't hesitate to place the race/religion card when it suits her purpose.
