Mark Halperin 2008 Flashback: "Emphasize Barack Hussein Obama’s unusual name and exotic background"

[Cali_Democrat]

This guy should have been fired for this article he posted in 2008. It's no longer on the Time website, but you can see it using the internet archive way back machine.

Also, if you guys look at the bottom of the page, he put a disclaimer there that says "Note: This is analysis of what is likely to happen, not advice or endorsement." If you guys remember like I do, he only added this AFTER there was considerable outrage. I remember it pretty well.

There were also numerous other ridiculous things that Halperin suggested McCain do to win the 2008 Presidential election. Here's a sample:

1. Play the national security card without hesitation.

4. Encourage interest groups, bloggers, and right-leaning media to explore Obama’s past.

5. Make an issue of Obama’s acknowledged drug use.

<snip>

7. Exploit Michelle Obama’s mistakes and address her controversial remarks with unrestricted censure.

<snip>

11. Emphasize Barack Hussein Obama’s unusual name and exotic background through a Manchurian Candidate prism.

Mark Halperin is a dick and a Republican hack. He should have been fired in 2008.
