Ugh. Political post!
Jan. 14th, 2008 07:49 amI think I've discovered which campaign Karl Rove's working on. Having the head of BET imply that Obama is a coke fiend is a page straight out of the Rove playbook. Not that using cocaine is a disqualifier from the office of the presidency. Of course, we all know Bob Johnson's concept of black empowerment.
I dislike having to criticize the Clinton campaign, which gets more than enough from the "Hillary's a bitch" division of the right wing, but dipping into this sort of dirty politics this early smacks of desperation. If Clinton feels that she can't win on her own merits, and seems forced to resort to this sort of remark, perhaps it's better that she take another look at the values of her own campaign.
