A Clinton Supporter Goes There

Anti-Muslim e-mails flying in Iowa, according to a Dodd supporter reporting from there:

One was forwarded to me from a Clinton county chair. The other was from a person who claimed to be a former Obama supporter, but a little work with Google revealed she had been posting pro-Clinton comments for several months on websites covering the campaign.

They both repeat the Obama/Osama crap, and the "madrassa" charges. And there is the conclusion that Obama is a mole whose intention is to make a Muslim revolution in the U.S.

The Clinton campaign has let go the county chair responsible.

There is no place in our campaign, or any campaign, for this kind of politics. A volunteer county coordinator made the mistake of forwarding an outrageous and offensive chain e-mail. This was wholly unauthorized and we were totally unaware of it. Let me be clear: No one should be engaging in this. We are asking this volunteer county coordinator to step down and are making it clear to every person involved in our campaign that this will not be tolerated.

Allah wonders if the candidate herself will be held accountable for the "tone" and "climate" she's created that has spawned this kind of hate. Nah.
