The Obama camp has the ScandalizerTM cranked up to 11.
Today's buzzword is "Mickey Kantor." Yesterday's was "Women's Voices" (and you know how their voices are).
In the spirit of unity, maybe us paranoid holdouts should join the fun.
What Clinton scandal do you feel like making up today?

see booman for the details
truly, the paranoia is astounding
How about...
Hillary is a man. (Chelsea was adopted.)

They need a real job...
some serious manual labor in the sun, in summer.
I'm thinking chain gang work.
Do these mental midgets (no offense to the short) really think they can dredge up something when Ken Starr, his henchmen, and millions of dollars came up short.

setting a backfire
this was to be expected. how else to stop the brush fire that is consuming senator obama's campaign.
and so close to vote time; too close to counter effectively.
Doctored Film Clips?
It's like running against Newt and DeLay all over again. And to think, Obama's supporters say they don't want to go back to the 1990s.
Let's see, in the last few days we have accusations of vote suppression against a well-known voter registration group that was once defended by progressives (see my previous comment about DailyKos hitting Limbaugh over WVWV), a petition trying to threaten a racial split, and now doctored video of Mickey Kantor saying racial epithets and other things he never said.
I don't know if I can stand this much Unity

very very related to this flailing --
Wash Monthly -- on netroots and power (lack thereof, really) -- http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archive...
"... the real lesson of the 2008 primaries is to raise some serious doubts about the power of the blogosphere in particular and the netroots more generally. ...
If the respective left and right blogospheres had any real say in things, would we be looking at a McCain vs. Obama contest in November? Or McCain vs. Hillary? We would not. It would be Giuliani vs. Edwards, or maybe Romney vs. Dodd. The blogosphere is good at raising modest sums of money, and it likewise plays a modest role at the congressional level, but its influence on the national stage appears to be pretty close to nil. That was true in 2004, when Kerry won the Democratic nomination, and it appears to still be true four years later.
..."
Looking on the Bright Side
Given the recent behavior of the left blogosphere as a whole, I can't say I'm too upset at this point at the thought of its limited influence.

Hillary had a hand in Obama's upbringing
Well didn't you know that 47 years ago 13 year old Hillary anticipating this moment in History began plotting civil rights meetings, EVEN TO the EXTENT OF meeting with IN REAL LIFE Martin Luther King. This was a blatant attempt to keep Obama down.
She also arranged for his meeting with Michelle so that her spouse would be more likely to do good as First Spouse.
She also conspired to become a Democrat so that she would one day run in this election against Obama just another proof of white America's duplicity and pointed headismness.

non trivial part of the Dem coalition
that was how Atrios described us, and I think that is pretty accurate. I also think our greatest power is the ability to push back against media narratives, not as much as we like, but still.
The real power in political blogging are the local blogs. The blog which follows the school board race and has 30 readers will be much more important than any national blog. The blog that follows the state legislature and local zoning commission will have far greater impact than the national blogs. That is just the nature of it.
The way I look at it is that we are just part of the process. Blogging is one more tool to promote your point of view.
Hillary kidnapped Josh Marshall and replaced him
with a Hillbot zombie that would make irrational attacks on Hillary so we would feel sorry for her.
She also stole all the Unity
Ponies
and hid them so Obama couldn't give them to us.

here you go!
Hillary first seduced and then had Obama's dad deported--setting in motion the lifelong search for a replacement father figure that forced him to cling to Wright and others -- It's all her fault!

Hillary Clitnon is running a GOP/conservative campaign
Right?
speaking of making up
scandals--the WSJ is slyly associating Clinton with the KKK in Indiana now--
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB12096853...
-- "... Razor-edge expectations have not only made for some unusual campaign movements but also have provided a backdrop for questions of race and electability. Indiana has a history of racial tensions and Ku Klux Klan activity, and the Obama candidacy is seen as one new test of how much attitudes have changed here.
Sen. Clinton's campaign set up a campaign office in Martinsville, about 20 miles south of Indianapolis and sent former President Bill Clinton to a rally there. The town has a reputation in the state as an area of Klan activity over the years. While the Obama campaign has been active in Martinsville, Sen. Obama doesn't field an office in the town and hasn't appeared there.
..."
Lovely, Truly
Hey, Hoosiers, you want to prove you're not a Klan member vote for Barack.
Ick.

There's a big section of the John Birch Society, too
My BFF lives in that area, so I'm familiar. My hippie aunt and uncle live right outside Martinsville(who are probably supporting Obama, they are a fan of fruitless causes:)
It is a rather isolated rural area, and that atmosphere attracts kooks, especially the type who don't like people. I've honestly never seen an AA in Bedford, while out shopping or working(I would get sent on sales assignments up there, as well).
But, there are still Democrats there, like my BFF, and aunt and uncle(it would be very appealing to some back to nature hippie types, it's absolutely beautiful, if you can deal with the neighbors).
My BFF is married to a man, whose parents believe dinosaurs walked with Adam & Eve and believe abortion is murder. But they are Democrats.
Democrats are everywhere, and no one should ignore them, just because they are outnumbered or "different".

ahh
Indiana has always struck me as weird, but all i know about is from tv and music--One Day at a Time, Breaking Away (the bicycling movie--that's the title, no?), Jackson 5, etc....
I know about Bloody Kansas and that history (so would expect a long history of bad stuff there), but Indiana i never knew...
KKK was very big in Indiana
But I'm betting for that very reason, it would be hard to locate an office in a place that didn't have some of that bad history to be dredged up. It isn't like they located the office smack dab in the middle of KKK World Headquarters, or something.

And Indiana is a Republican state
I'm not saying there are no KKK members who are registered democrats, but it's a State that has long been dominated by the Republican party.
I'm so sick of how easy it's become during this primary to smear the voters who are democrats as racists. There would never be a white-black racial split in Republican party voting because there are damned few black people in the Republican party. Hmm, I wonder why that is?

Welcome to Detroit BDBlue
now you know how it's done.
Did anyone see the Jon Stewart show? They had a guy coming up with Clinton Scandals he reached back to when she was 3 and latched onto the dress and ankle socks (trimmed in lace) it was pretty funny.

"Hillary caught with Bill O'Reilly"
On two consecutive evenings, millions of viewers saw Hillary Clinton and Bill O'Reilly together In a FOX News studio. Both parties deny any improper relationship.
Hillary admits the two met, but claims it was only once and it was "strictly business."

Right-wing ratf*&king
Okay, this doctored film clip is so stupid and was so easily found out that I think it must be right-wing ratfucking.
Not that I doubt the Obama Campaign or OFB
would stoop to such a thing. And of course they happily pushed it, precisely as (I'm sure) the clip's creator knew they would. It's just so.....sloppy -- so much so, that I think it's deliberately sloppy. That is, it made precisely so that the lie could be found out, so that it could be debunked, and further discord would be sown amongst supporters of the Democratic candidates.
Hillary admits long-term romantic relationship
with a former Governor of Arkansas. Sources say he is the father of her child.

Has anyone noticed how bigotry...
is usually found in interior regions of nations and continents. I guess historically there was more commerce and diversity in coastal areas.
Now though, that should be diminished with TV and communications advances. Oh well, not relevant, just a thought.
kc
I don't see how that can true, kc
Slave ports could not be anything but not in the interior, even though the "commerce" was in human flesh.
I don't deny that racism exists, at all, or that it's a serious matter. (Which is why the Obama campaign's egregious use of it to smear its opponents, comparable to the Republicans use of Christianity, feels me with anger and repulsion).
Anyhow, a serious conversation on race isn't served by such ahistorical and unevidenced generalities.
