Dirty Clinton Tricks

March 1, 2008 - 9:32am

This is from my mother-in-law about her experience visiting the Obama rally in Corpus Christi, TX.

As my husband, friend, and I were approaching the Obama rally at the American Bank Plaza, I first saw a large group of my female teacher friends leaving. I asked them why they were leaving and they told me that as soon as they got out of their cars they were approached by some women and men who told them that they wouldn’t be allowed in if they didn’t have photo IDs. They were very upset about this. I asked my husband to get my substitute teacher photo ID out of the glove compartment as my friend and I made it through the crowd. We passed many women (we spoke to about 100) who were leaving for the same reason. A typical response was, “We were told not to bring our purses, but no one said anything about an photo ID and that’s where our IDs are.” They were all very upset about the situation.

As we approached the building, we looked behind us and saw many women being approached and walking away. When I found a security guard at the building, I told him what was happening and he said that was false information; no one needed an ID to enter the rally. I found an Obama supporter and told him and he said the same thing. I then told a reporter from the top local TV station and he asked me innocently (he was very young) “Why would someone do that?” and I said: “Why do you think?” Then, I caught the eye of a Hillary front man and went up to him and said, “Hi!” I had met him at the Democratic Headquarters the week before and ZAP!, I just felt sick. Dirty tricks. Shame on you! I hope that all of those women who were lied to now know that they were lied to and will realize that it was neither Barack Obama’s people nor the American Bank Plaza’s people.

Which is to say, Clinton supporters were walking through the parking lot and telling women (specifically women) that they had to have their IDs to enter, thus causing the place to fill up with men and make it appear like a sausage fest as the place filled to capacity with more men than women. This then gives Hillary the appearance of having the woman vote in Texas.

Cheap tricks, indeed.
