Drudge clearly states: "CLINTON STAFFERS CIRCULATE 'DRESSED' OBAMA"

I will not post the link. But he is laying it at their doorstep.

Whether they take responsibility or not, they did it.

3. Drudge is a popular source here for Obama supporters. He's a Gawd to them.
Why? Cuz, he's in the ABC crowd, just like them.

And, they think the party isn't severed?

:rofl:

10. Hillary Clinton woos man (Drudge) who nearly ruined her husband
Hillary Clinton woos man who nearly ruined her husband

Earlier this month, Ms Clinton's staff leaked campaign fundraising data to the website just as her rival for the nomination, Barack Obama, was to deliver a policy speech on Iraq - and a crucial 20 minutes before the official release of the information. The story on Ms Clinton's fundraising prowess dominated the news cycle.


Mark Penn is in bed with Drudge!

7. Yeah they know what buttons to push to get the Obama surrogates going. They don't have to do
anything else to destroy this party. Just keep flaming the fire between the supporters. It is insane, but they seem to be enjoying it. I think they know that there will be a lot of people who won't vote no matter who the nominee is because of it. Very smart in an evil way. It's working.

14. I have noticed for the last ten years or so
that Drudge is usually right about most things. That is why
he has one of the biggest websites on the internet. I detest
his politics, but most of his links are accurate. That is
why many insiders on both sides of the political spectrum check
his page each day.

2. Why is he so concerned about the photo?
"It is unfortunate ... that her campaign would be involved in putting out a photograph that is in its very nature designed to be divisive," said Susan Rice, an Obama adviser and fellow at the Brookings Institution.

If it is divisive, why is he wearing it?

13. It's being used by racists to promote racism.
Hillary is trying to convince people that it's better to have a white woman wearing brown-people garb than a black man wearing brown-people garb. Just ask Maggie Williams.

4. Let's imagine that you send me a pic of
Hillary Clinton in her pajamas. She's wearing curlers in her hair and looks like hell, she's even kicking the cat out of her way!

I respond to your e-mail --"Wow. The Times would love to get a hold of THAT picture!"

I have now circulated a bad pic of Hillary Clinton.

8. It's going to get worse than that, you know
Look at this one I made about Bush. Don't you think the RW people will rush to do the same thing to Obama? That's a rhetorical question, they'll have it out and ready at the moment the nomination is won, if he wins.

Instead of complaining about this stuff, you need to find a better way to deal with it since it's inevitable.

12. That one's been all over the world
It's been on the cover of a book, on BBC4, and was seen by approximately 3 million people in the first month it was online.

:P
