Clinton turban gambit wins local acceptance

Steve reports:

... I can confidently report that it has been very convincing among the coveted "angry smelly pre-lunch drunks who for some reason zero in on you out of all the passengers on the train in order to wave the front page of the paper in your face and scream racist ignorant nonsense and violent threats against politicians right into your ear until they release you're trying hard to ignore them then scream threats against you instead and tell you to get a haircut because it's always 1950 somewhere" vote.

That Clinton released that. This is politics afterall and it would be more than naive to not consider that Obama did this himself, to make it look like Clinton was mud slinging and win public suppport. It's also a very smart way for him to take away the muslim card before the actual election (rather than the primary that he is easily winning), and make Clinton look bad at the same time.

That being said, I'm also not saying it couldn't have been the Clintons, as they've shown the in the past to not be above character attacks.

I don't understand what the issue is here

The photo's too goofy for Obama to have self-inflicted it.
It was probably some low-level Clinton campaign twerp passing it around.

I think the Clintonistas

For a picture of Seamus, Romney's roof-travelling
Irish Setter, in that crate. And the look on
Mitt's face as he reached for the hose.

I bet
