GlennGreenwald: Update II: Hordes of Obama supporters?
Hordes of Obama supporters are claiming in comments and elsewhere that this brochure was nothing more than a perfectly innocent attempt to counter the whispering campaign that Obama is a Muslim.
This sort of surprised me. Having read at least some of the comments, including my own, I'm not entirely sure why you're characterizing those who are proposing the Muslim explanation(tm) as Obama supporters. I think one could put this forward without being an Obama supporter in the same way that you can criticize Clinton without being Pro-Obama, and so on, as you're constantly pointing out.
Anyway, having said that, I think this comes up in South Carolina because--and I don't want to put too fine a point on it, but--it's South Carolina. Past history would suggest that this sort of thing will matter there. You might as well ask why farm subsidies come up in Iowa and not NYC.
But you know all of this already.
Peace.
