[...] Obama Campaign In Disarray? Making Political Hay Out of Bhutto Assassination? By SusanUnPC on December 27, 2007 at 4:28 PM in Clinton, Obama, Pakistan It’s hard to believe that Barack Obama’s campaign could be in such disarray that its campaign manager, David Axelrod, would use the tragic, horrific assassination of Benazir Bhutto to take, as CNN’s anchor just said, a “swipe” at Sen. Clinton. Writes Taylor Marsh, “The Obama campaign is in a panic. Mr. Axelrod’s reprehensible statement is meant to deflect the spotlight and rescue his candidate, because as people think about the implications of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination one thing comes to mind and it isn’t the leadership experience of Barack Obama.” [...]

Who cares? It’s all a bunch of monkeys sitting around slinging monkey poop at each other. Nero made music while Rome burned, these guys hurl turds at each other. Brilliant!

Oh yes - and please try not to mistake annoyance for outrage.

Nathan, if you want to berate someone, it is generally a good idea to berate them for positions they actually hold, or things they have actually said. When you do otherwise, you end up looking kind of silly.

1. It should be obvious that I am anything but an Obama supporter.

2. I am also anything but a supporter of Hillary Clinton.

3. Politicians’ pissing and monkey-poop-throwing contest tactics are not worth the energy it takes to be outraged.

4. When an American politician gets dressed up as a rich Pakistani lady for a photo op she is wearing a costume. And dressing up like a rich Pakistani lady for a photo op doesn’t qualify her as an expert on Pakistan.

5. If someone prominently featured a photo of Barak Obama dressed up as a rich Pakistani man as part of a blog entry berating Hillary Clinton I would have the same reaction I did to the photo of Hillary.

First, those are not Pakistani “costumes.” Have some respect for different cultures. Second, how is a photo worthy of your outrage and yet you fail to muster any anger over Obama’s campaign sucker punching Hillary the way it did? Wow. (Besides, if there was a similar photo of Obama in Pakistani clothing, you’d be shrieking that it was an all an effort to demonize him as a Muslim)

How’s this for relevancy: Obama vowed to move US troops from Iraq to Pakistan and threatened to violate its sovereignty if Musharraf failed to act against terrorists. He said this just this August while it was public knowledge that the country was spinning out of control. Nothing like publicly boasting about attacking a nuclear powder keg to stabilize the region, huh? Where’s your outrage over that?!

I am not even a Hillary supporter–at all!–but I am astounded at how hysterical Obama supporters are. Truly disgusting.

Didn’t someone say that war is diplomacy by other means?

Well, if war = diplomacy, then Hillary never met a diplomacy she didn’t love.
