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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
Dean Baker, economist and author of Plunder and Blunder, False Profits, and Taking Economics Seriously
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
