Why Would a GOPer Admit to Putting Obama in a Dress NOW? To Divide and Conquer Us, Of Course.

Oh Boy! Now that Hillary Clinton is reportedly ready to concede tomorrow, sparing Democrats the horror of a brokered Democratic Convention in Denver, the same RW dirty tricksters who fed Matt Drudge the Obama in a Dress photo in the first place are now telling the world that they did it, not Hillary Clinton Ha! Ha! .

Now, can the Clinton supporters stop jumping up and down while screaming “We told you so!” and can the Obama supporters stop posting flamebait trying to get threads which discuss the issue locked by the mods so that we can talk about what it is that the Republican members of CREEP II are trying to do with this new tactic?

It does not even matter if this Tennessee Hobbs is the one who plotted the dirty trick with Drudge, because anyone with an ounce of sense knew all along that this was a classic Republican prank, straight out of Pat Buchanan’s old 1972 strategy guide which went “Tar one Democrat but make it look like the attack came from another Democrat so that the other guy will look like a bastard---or in this case a bitch ”. This has been the formula for painting Obama as an un-American Muslim and Hillary Clinton as a wicked witch all throughout their own primary while letting rootin’ tootin’ straight shootin’ John McCain keep his liver spotted hands clean.

I have only told you about this strategy a dozen times now in my journals, starting back in December. But does anyone listen? Hell, no. It is more fun to blame Clinton for things that Fox News and Matt Drudge do and more fun to say that Obama is unelectable because of things that Fox News and Matt Drudge do.

As if any of this matters to Americans who are losing their homes and their jobs and their sons and daughters in Iraq. Pathetic.

You do realize that this latest move on the part of the right wing is a test run of an RNC weapon, just like the test run of the Raygun they are going to use on anti-war protesters.

Only this is a psy-ops weapon. This is designed to get Clinton supporters to say "See, we told you so!" and "Obama said he wouldn't use oppo but he used oppo" in righteous indignation as if that is going to make any difference at this point, while Obama supporters search for some way to ease their conscience. "Well, maybe this guy is just lying" or "We knew all along that Clinton was a Republican!" and "Clinton used oppo first!" Until it becomes clear that everyone is arguing just to argue, and no one is listening to the other side anymore.

With this kind of response to itsy-bitsy provocation like “Clinton didn’t really put Obama in a dress, boy did you get punked” imagine what you people will do to each other if the Washington Post finally decides to write about Amaya Smith’s “Race Memo” after all these months of studiously ignoring it ( Oh, my. Look what we found here! How could we have missed this before? Silly us. )

My suggestion, everybody take a deep breath. Relax. The nominating process is over. It does not matter anymore how we got here. Clinton, Obama, who cares? Not the voters. They just want a decent Democrat who will save them from four more years of Bush policies. It is time to close ranks. Anything that any right winger does or says from this point forward is designed to cause dissension in the ranks.

And because Democratic Underground is full of Republicans right now, there will be countless voices crying out “No surrender!” Ignore them. They know that our solidarity is our strength. They last thing they want is for all the people who went away during the primary to come back during the general election.

Solidarity !
