Kos Jumps Into the Idiotic Scandal of the Week

Now Markos himself is jumping aboard the most idiotic pseudo-scandal yet cooked up by the Nutroots: Daily Kos: Clinton campaign making Obama ‘blacker’.

Again: these morons are hyperventilating over videos they are watching via the internet, and assuming that the orangey color of Obama’s face in one video is somehow “genuine,” while the desaturated color and slightly different aspect ratio in the Clinton video is a nefarious racist plot.

Also note that the color they’re assuming is “genuine” is from a video of the TV debate — in which all the candidates wear a thick layer of facial makeup.

It’s just hilarious; I haven’t been this amused by Daily Kos in ages.

UPDATE at 3/5/08 11:45:48 am:

Hey, Kos, here’s a tip: the Associated Press is playing racist color tricks too! Look how dark Obama is in this photo!

UPDATE at 3/5/08 12:00:38 pm:

And what about this? Is the Black College Wire lightening Obama? HBCUs Figure in Obama’s Campaign Strategy. (Hat tip: zombie.)

Layers within layers, people. The conspiracy goes very deep.
