Obama Camp Responds to Turban Photo, And We All Lose

That there picture is the one making all sorts of noise in political circles. Posted on the Drudge Report, it's of presidential hopeful Barack Obama dressed as a Somali elder and, frankly, looking like a terrorist. (Ya know, if popular culture has accurately led us to believe what a terrorist looks like…turban, sheets instead of a shirt, brown skin, and so forth.)
Even worse, it appears that Hillary Clinton staffers were the ones who started circulating the photo of Os-er-Obama. No surprise here – Barack's posse is pissed. Campaign manager David Plouffe accused the Clinton campaign of "shameful offensive fear-mongering" in passing around the photo.
In retaliation, they started circulating this picture:
Yes, this campaign just turned ugly. Literally.
