"Osama for Obama " shirt wearer walking around Clinton victory party.
ABC News' Kate Snow and Eloise Harper report: A controversial party guest was spotted at Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's election night party in Columbus, Ohio Tuesday.

He was hard to miss. He was the one wearing the "Osama for Obama" t-shirt.

Columbus resident Todd Elbaum told ABC News his friend makes the t-shirts.

Elbaum did not hold back on his views of Obama when he was interviewed by ABC within full view of a Clinton staffer.

"The truth is he was born a Muslim, his father was a Muslim, his mother married a Muslim after divorcing his father. His grandfather was a Muslim. It doesn't matter. But what does matter is when Obama said he was never a Muslim. He was a Muslim. He was born a Muslim. He was a Muslim for six years of his life," Elbaum said.

I guess the Clinton campaign doesn't mind this guy walking around in this shirt at the Clinton rally.

2. Not going to use this as a way to slam Clinton - I just want to post and say WHAT AN ASSHOLE.
Surely, we can all get together and agree on that at least!

4. Are you kidding? She's got Chelsea printing more copies.
I predict that these past weeks are nothing compared to the slime that's now going to vomit from the Clinton campaign. They can NOT get this nomination (notice I didn't say "win") without reducing Obama and the party to ashes.

13. It was probably an Obamaican in disguise.
I really believe that was a provocateur, not a bonafide Hillary supporter.

16. This guy makes and sells the shirts...
Of course he is a lone nut... the question is why was he allowed to roam around the victory party in that shirt.

25. No, I am not.
In politics, I find it helpful to avoid the dominant paradigm to learn the truth of matters.

6. Are they walking around his celebration parties wearing them
in obvious form over their button downs, and carrying on to reporters about it? hell no! And before you bring up the flag in his supporters office, she was asked to remove it.

Please don't spin what this asshole did, and hopefully the Clinton camp will be denouncing and rejecting this.

9. But, but, but I've seen Obama's supporters wear disgusting shirts
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 12:18 PM by bleowheels
so it's ok for Hillary's supporters to do it too! And it was a Che Guerva banner on the wall of volunteer, not a t-shirt and not at an Obama function.

11. He was at her election party wearing a shirt that mocked her opponent.
Yeah, can't see how anyone could reasonably connect this man to Hillary.

12. According to the other thread, the Republican op has a different last name.
Truth is, that this man was at Hillary's election night party in Ohio.

10. anti-Muslim hatred at its worst
Rest assured that the BILLIONS of Muslims in the world aren't all terrorists. If I used this person's logic, I'd say that all Christians are that Rudolph guy that bombed women's clinics and killed and injured people.

Part of me wish I could go up to that person, shake his hand, and have a chat. Think perhaps his conception of Muslims would change.

17. Proof Democrats don't screen their attendees like the Pukes do.
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 12:38 PM by Rosemary2205
And actually honor someone else's Constitutional right to Free speech.

Edit to add, unlike what the Pukes did to Cindy Sheehan at the SOTU speech.

21. What a FOOLISH commentary from the OP--even your mature Obamafolk know better--see # 2

I guess the Clinton campaign doesn't mind this guy walking around in this shirt at the Clinton rally.

22. Be Reasonable
Hillary can't control her supporters any more than Obama can control his. Some guy stomping around in a dumbass T-shirt doesn't take anything away from Hillary (although she should beth denounce and reject it...)

27. It's okay for her to be racist
and to encourage her surrogates to race-bait in the Spanish media (see my journal & note that the same Representative appeared on stage with Bill Clinton three days after the article ran).
