Obama accuses McCain camp of 'phony outrage' (AP) 

AP - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Wednesday accused Republican John McCain's campaign of using "lies and phony outrage and Swift-boat politics" in claiming he used a sexist comment against vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
 
 
 
 
 
Ghettoninans,
"Phony outrage," hmmm, that's what happened when the Obama campaign accused Bill Clinton of being a racis--after he pointed out that Jessie Jackson had twice won the South Carolina Democratic Primary. Can merely stating facts be considered racist? Isn't it like slander--that it is only slander if it's untrue?
 
There are black women living in my building who, upon learning from the Obama campaign that Bill Clinton was racist, believed it. One told me with great emotion and quaking voice that she "Used to love Bill Clinton..." What happened? The Obama campaign had engaged in Phony Outrage--takes one to know one, I suppose.
 
Best,
Frances
