U.S.: RIGHT-WING MEDIA PAINT OBAMA AS 'MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE'.
By Khody Akhavi
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, 2008 (IPS/GIN) -- Senator Barack Obama has weathered attacks on his background, race, name and religion since launching his bid for the U.S. presidency in 2007.
His recent emergence as the frontrunner for the Democratic Party's nomination has once again placed him in the crosshairs of prominent and anonymous right-wing foes who appear eager to paint the Illinois senator as a "closet Muslim" and veritable "Manchurian candidate" who cannot be trusted.
The attacks took a sensational turn during this week after a 2006 photo of the senator dressed in the traditional headdress and wrap of Somali elders surfaced on the Drudge Report, a widely read blog, along with the allegation that it was supplied by a Hillary Clinton supporter.
