Dirty Tricks in Politics
By Pamela Gentry, Senior Politcal Producer
Posted Dec. 14, 2007 – This week, the Clinton Campaign hit a new low when one of the national campaign co-chairs questioned if her top rival Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) should be president since he used drugs in his youth.
The outrage and backlash against Bill Shaheen, a well-known political insider only highlighted how desperate the campaign has become to gain back ground loss to Obama in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Shaheen tried to put the genie back in the bottle, by issuing an apology, but to no avail. By Thursday, he resigned. “I made a mistake and in light of what happened, I have made the personal decision that I will step down as the Co-Chair of the Hillary for President Campaign,” he said.
This all started on Wednesday when Shaheen told the Washington Post , “The Republicans are not going to give up without a fight, and one of the things they’re certainly going to jump on is his drug use.”
Shaheen said Obama has opened the door to these questions. “It’ll be, ‘When was the last time? Did you ever give drugs to anyone? Did you sell them to anyone?’” Shaheen said. “There are so many openings for Republican dirty tricks.”
But it looks like Shaheen has already beat the Republican to the “dirty tricks” he’s criticizing.
What troubles me is the a steady flow of negative “miss-information” linked so closely to insiders of the Clinton camp. Remember last month when a volunteer in Iowa was circulating misleading information that Obama was Muslim? And later that month, Robert Novak wrote a column saying a Clinton insider told him they had “scandalous information” on Obama. Then there was the memo the Clinton campaign sent reporters implying Obama lied about his aspirations to be president because of a kindergarten essay he wrote entitled, “I want to be President.”
David Axelrod, Obama’s, political adviser, said he was pleased that Bill Shaheen has stepped down from the top spot on the Clinton campaign. “I think it’s a good decision, because I think what he did is beyond the pale.”
While folks should be focused on the issues, the personal attacks have taken center stage. Even today, following last night’s Democratic debate, the last one before the Iowa Caucus, few political stories don’t mention the uproar over Shaheen remarks. Because of his role as a political insider, his comments carried the weight of the Clinton campaign.
Mark Penn, Clinton’s chief campaign strategist said Clinton also apologized to Obama on Thursday before heading to the Iowa debate.
I find all of this a bit hypocritical; in the 1992 campaign Bill Clinton admitted he smoked marijuana? He just wasn’t honest enough to admit he inhaled.
Shaheen may have guaranteed Obama won’t have to counter this question from Republican challengers.
Speaking of dirty tricks, Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.) announced his new national campaign chairman Ed Rollins. Not sure if you recall, but Rollins once bragged about “a dirty trick” he pulled on Black voters in New Jersey.
Rollins claimed that New Jersey Republicans had doled out $500,000 in “walking-around money” to Black ministers and Democratic Party activists on Whitman’s behalf.
DIRTY TRICK # 2 IS SUBLIMINAL PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE. LET ME EXPLAIN, WHY DID THE IRS AND FBI CHOOSE AT THIS TIME TO RE-EXAMINE REV. AL SHARPTON PRIOR PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN RECORDS? TO THE POINT. REV AL IS CONSIDERED BY MANY IN THE BLACK AND WHITE COMMUNITIES TO BE THE MOST POWERFUL BLACK CIVIL RIGHTS AND POLITICAL ACTIVISTS TODAY.TO TRY AND DISCREDIT AND BRING TO THE FORE FRONT ANY IMPROPIETIES ON HIM IS A STAB AT BARACK OBAMA AND HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. THE DIFINITION OF {SUBLIMINAL}- 1. Below the threshold of conscious perception. Used of stimuli.
2. Inadequate to produce conscious awareness but able to evoke a response: subliminal propaganda.
THIS DIRTY TRICK IS NOT DIRECTLY POINTED AT OBAMA BUT USED TO PLANT A SUB CONSCIOUS, NEGATIVE SEED.
TO RETRACK MY LAST STATEMENT THIS DIRTY TRICK IS DIRECTLY POINTEAT OBAMA.
C Newsome…. can you read? This article is about hillary clinton attacking obama, not rev al. psuedo-itellectuals like yourself are the most dangerous. you know just enough to be deadly to yourself and those around you.
THWEATT I MAKE INTELLIGENT COMMENTS TO TRY AND HELP A PERSON LIKE YOU TO SEE BEYOND YOUR NOSE, THEN AGAIN MY COMMENTS PROBABLY FLEW OVER YOUR HEAD. THANKS FOR THE THREAT.
Kings are made and born from above, so far we had some unjust and some good ones to lead our nation. I believe it should be lead from a male prospective. Heads up to Hillary leadership but God call a male to lead the nations. In the days of old as well as today men always lead better in the front. Enough funny business, play time is over the Leaders eye should be 20/20 vision seeing the whole picture. We lead by example and the woman leadership is fine. The head of the body is the man in all situation good, bad or indifferent. Our nation is Blessed inspite of the ills and wow. She must shine forever, as the Lord God leads her.

The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I believe that MLK through the miracle of film, will educate the world before this coming holiday celebration on how to make peace in our world, and our future like never before - the world and all human beings will be influenced to start a movement to achieve global peace in the international community in our lifetime for generations to come. MLK will be proud in his spirit and his spirit will bring us together.
He understood that peace is possible. When you look at the old black and white footage from that time in history, before there was the rainbow of color we see now… you will be so moved, the world will understand. Look it up on the Internet. You will see one of the greatest events in world history that will give us an example of how to move forward, starting today. Though MLK was not running for president at the time… THE PRESIDENT at the time in our history signed the paper… and gave MLK the pen - TOGETHER making the dream a reality.
God is amazing!
Amen.

Mr. Bob Johnson, Founder of BET
Do you wanted to be remembered as the man who vocally attacked the first black man in the history of the United States to have obtained its’ highest office?
You should be ashamed to portray blacks as habitual drug users. You feed into white stereotypes, then lie about it.
Have you no shame, Mr. Johnson?
SHAME ON BOB JOHNSON. I USED TO THINK HE WAS A ROLE MODEL FOR ME - HE THEM USE HIM! I WONDER IF HE KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT AMERICAN HISTORY - BECAUSE ONE IS ABOUT TO BE WRITTEN AND HE WROTE HIS VERSION FOR HIM TO BE REMEMBERED WITH. TO AMERICA EVERY YOUNG BLACKMAN IS A DRUG USER AND A CRIMINAL OR A POTENTIAL ONE, OH BOB WHAT WERE YOU ALSO SMOKING?YOU WHO SHOULD ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. WE AGREE WE ALL LOVE BILL BUT REMEMBER HE AND HER ARE NOT THE SAME FOR YOU TO SELL YOUR SOUL.

I NOW KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A BILLIONAIRE - STUPID, SELFISH, ARROGANT, IGRORANT… I NOW SEE WHY WE WERE THE ENSLAVED PEOPLE - WE CAN BE MANIPULATED REGARDLESS OF OUR WEALTH,STATURE,OR WISDOM. WHAT A SAME…
