Has the Clinton campaign "darkened" video of Obama, like Newsweek did with OJ?
Mentioned yesterday and today on the show briefly. From Daily Kos with additional postings here and here. You can see the actual ad on the http://www.hillaryclinton.com/video/145.aspx website. Is this an accident? An idiot working in the campaign or ad agency? Will Senator Clinton disavow it? Click "read more" to see the graphics below:

Update - now there's a Daily Kos diarist saying this is a tempest in a teapot and those of us "startled by this" are essentially just technically dumb. This diarist may well be right:

First is the capture from Clinton's ad attacking Obama:
racebaiting

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
Peter Coyote, Actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."

From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
