Fear of a black planet ...

Well, the Obama/Clinton campaign is getting uglier by the minute.

The sludge includes the 3 a.m. phone call ad, her hedging when asked if she believed Obama was a Muslim, her praise of McCain and disparaging of Obama, and now ... the O.J. treatment.

Remember the Time magazine cover of O.J. Simpson that made him darker and more sinister looking?

It looks like the Clinton camp has done the same thing to Obama. They took debate footage and altered it to make him look darker, and they stretched the width of the image to make him look ... what ... bigger? heavier? You can make up your own mind.

But what is written here is correct, this was not an accident. This doesn't just happen in production, someone made it happen.
What do you think? Is this fair play?

I have to admit that I'm a fool, because I didn't really think that the Clinton camp would go so deep into the gutter. I should have known that they would do anything to win, even if they lose by winning (how many voters are they turning away from voting?). And if you didn't know already, it is very unlikely that Clinton can overtake Obama in the delegate count, even if she wins every one of the remaining contests. But they play to win. And they don't seem to care about the damage they will do to the Democratic nominee along the way.
