The Hildebeast sent out this tweet in order to Kafir-shame Donald Trump for not defending Obama’s Muslim faith during a townhall:
Donald Trump not denouncing false statements about POTUS & hateful rhetoric about Muslims is disturbing, & just plain wrong. Cut it out. -H

But… as a Buzzfeed editor pointed out on the Twitters, she had her own brush with Islamophobia-mongering in 2008!! And it was against Obama!!!
Yup. Here’s the text of the article:
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe accused the Clinton campaign Monday of “shameful offensive fear-mongering” by circulating a photo as an attempted smear.
Plouffe was reacting to a banner headline on the Drudge Report saying that aides to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) had e-mailed a photo calling attention to the African roots of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).
“The photo, taken in 2006, shows the Democrat front-runner dressed as a Somali Elder, during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya,” the Drudge Report said. The photo created huge buzz in political circles and immediately became known as “the ‘dressed’ photo,” reflecting the Drudge terminology.
Plouffe said in a statement: “On the very day that Senator Clinton is giving a speech about restoring respect for America in the world, her campaign has engaged in the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we’ve seen from either party in this election. This is part of a disturbing pattern that led her county chairs to resign in Iowa, her campaign chairman to resign in New Hampshire, and it’s exactly the kind of divisive politics that turns away Americans of all parties and diminishes respect for America in the world,” said Plouffe.
Yup. Hypocrite Hillary strikes again!!! And the idiot pendejo media ignores it and the stupid Republicans are too dumb to use it against her.
This is we can’t have nice politics.
Anyway… y’all been begging for an open thread, so GO AT IT YOU FILTHY ANIMALS!!
