Summer MinorClintons 4 McCain? Not Likely.

Via Womanist Musings:
This video is of a group of women claiming to be Clinton supporters who have gone over to McCain. personally, my opinion is that if any of these women were actually Clinton supporters then I've got some ocean front property in Kansas to sell you. The amount of racism and hatred expressed here is absurd and I cannot see how anyone who agrees with Clinton's policies and what she stood for could A) vote for McCain of all people, and B) spread so much blind hatred against another person based on where he went to school. Frankly, the fact that she refused to provide any proof says more than enough to me about the honesty of the group.
My pet theory: This falls along the same line as when Limbaugh told McCain voters in certain states to go ahead and vote for Clinton. The plan was they knew McCain was already going to get the majority of his party's vote, so tossing a few more towards Clinton would help her win the primaries. Not because they liked her better, but because the idea was that they could beat her more easily. With McCain's latest ad trying to woo Clinton supporters this seems like just the kind of stunt they would plan to stir up trouble. Clinton's spokesperson already replied to McCain's ad, and it's words that I think should be taken to all of McCain's attempts.
*Update* My Left Wing has more on the woman speaking out in the video above and behind the fake Clinton supporters turned McCain groups. The facts are rather interesting.

"Responding to the ad, Clinton spokeswoman Kathleen Strand said the New York senator's "support of Barack Obama is clear. She has said repeatedly that Barack Obama and she share a commitment to changing the direction of the country, getting us out of Iraq, and expanding access to health care. John McCain doesn't. It's interesting how those remarks didn't make it into his ad."

According to a Wired article the domain name ClintonsForMcCain.com was registered by the Republican National Committee on May 15. As far as I can tell the site was never activated. On June 4 someone registered the domain name Clintons4McCain listing Washington, D.C. as its address. The registrar was a company called Wild West Domains out of Scottsdale, Arizona. Wild West is a spinoff of GoDaddy. Wild West CFO Michael Zimmerman gave money to John McCain as recently as last year according to opensecrets.org and the Center for Responsive Politics.
Clintons4McCain is not registered with the Federal Election Commission. According to the blog site, Clintons4McCain was founded by Peter Boykin, Cristi Adkins and Anne Franklin. Although the founders claim to be Hillary Clinton supporters, only Franklin has contributed to her campaign. Adkins claims a vague involvement with the Clinton West Virginia campaign, but that is all.

"went to a Madras Muslim school"
then she says:
"I did not (say he went to a Muslim school), I said he went to school in Indonesia and he was a registered Muslim".
Oh my God! He went to school! In Indonesia! Run! Run for the hills!!
I also like how she said:
"while some people might like to keep an open mind..."
thereby revealing how closed her own mind is.
What the hell is going on here? How dare these people use Clintons name like this when Clinton is doing her best to get Obama elected and reunify the Democrats? Is this really how low the Republicans are stooping now? Pretending to be Democrats to try to turn people against Obama?
These people really, truly honestly scare me. Fucking hell.
