Barack Obama prays at a Los Angeles church in April.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is the target of an e-mail smear campaign, reports Jim VandeHei on this morning's show. The unsourced e-mails allege that Obama has ties to a radical Muslim congregation and that his membership in a Christian church is a front.
Listening to VandeHei's report, I couldn't help flashing back to this quote from yesterday's New York Times. Katharine Q. Seelye asked African-American women in a South Carolina beauty parlor for their thoughts on a possible Obama presidency. One of them said:
"I fear that they just would kill him, that he wouldn't even have a chance."
