Third Clinton Volunteer Knew Of Smear E-Mail


December 10, 2007

A third volunteer for Hillary Clinton's campaign was aware of a propaganda e-mail alleging that Barack Obama is a Muslim who plans on "destroying the U.S. from the inside out."

"Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential Candidacy," the email reads. "Please forward to everyone you know. The Muslims have said they Plan on destroying the U.S. from the inside out, what better way to start than at The highest level."

Two Clinton volunteers, Linda Olson and Judy Rose, have already been asked to resign from the campaign for their roles in forwarding the e-mail. The AP reported yesterday that Olson, a volunteer coordinator in Iowa County, sent a version of the e-mail to 11 people, including Ben Young, a regional field director for Chris Dodd's campaign. Young passed it on to the AP.

Rose, a Jones County coordinator, was forced out last week after the campaign learned that she'd forwarded a similar e-mail.

But On Call has obtained a copy of the email, which shows that a third Clinton volunteer staffer, Iowa County Coordinator Linda Yoder, was also on the e-mail chain.

1. I don't think one more Clinton volunteer should be forced out until Shaheen is forced out. . .

. . .the only way Shaheen should keep his job is for the Clinton campaign to stand behind him.

2. I missed something. What did Sheehan do that he deserves to be fired for?

3. 100,000 people at DU "knew of" the email four months ago

I have known of it since forever... it has been posted here innumerable times.

9. What does that even mean? Because we knew of it it's A-OK to send

disinformation around?

5. These weren't simple "volunteers"...

they were county coordinators and should be called such. The term "volunteer" is misleading.

6. "volunteer staffer". That's how it is written. (eom)

7. Linda should find the address of the unemployment office

As well as the rest of Hillary's campaign in a few weeks.

10. Will Obama put a stop to the anti-Hillary e-mail smear campaign?
