2008 Clinton campaign discussed going after Obama for ‘growing up among Muslims’

Sure, we all know Hillary Clinton has hammered Trump for his role in the Obama “birther” issue, even though one of her own staffers was complicit in the rumor in 2008, but one newly revealed exchange shows just how deep the Clinton campaign was willing to go, or at least consider going, to smear then-Senator Obama to the American public.

The January 2008 email exchange, between John Podesta, Paul Begala, and Hillary pollster GQRR, list several “negative facts” about Obama that the campaign could exploit.

The one that’s raised some eyebrows?

* 7 Obama (owe-BAHM-uh)’s father was a Muslim and Obama grew up among Muslims in the world’s most populous Islamic country.

Apparently, Obama growing up in an Islamic country around Muslims was a “negative fact.” Wow, and here I was thinking that diversity was a strength…

Here’s the rest of those “negative facts” about Obama, straight from the email:

Why do CO2 lag behind temperature?

71% of the earth is covered by ocean, water is a 1000 times denser than air and the mass of the oceans are 360 times that of the atmosphere, small temperature changes in the oceans doesn’t only modulate air temperature, but it also affect the CO2 level according to Henry’s Law.

The reason it is called “Law” is because it has been “proven”!

“.. scientific laws describe phenomena that the scientific community has found to be provably true ..”

That means, the graph proves CO2 do not control temperature, that again proves (Man Made) Global Warming, now called “Climate Change” due to lack of … Warming is – again – debunked!
