Time To Turn The Page: Barack Obama Rebukes Nikki Tinker

By Kleinheider Posted on August 7, 2008 at 12:31 pm

Sean Braisted posts up Barack Obama’s condemnation of the campaign tactics of Nikki Tinker:

“These incendiary and personal attacks have no place in our politics, and will do nothing to help the good people of Tennessee. It’s time to turn the page on a politics driven by negativity and division so that we can come together to lift up our communities and our country,” Obama said.

In light of this, I must ask again, where is Harold Ford, Jr. on this?

He rebuked his brother when he went off the reservation on the subject of race. Is what Nikki Tinker is doing somehow less offensive?

Does Harold Ford disagree with Barack Obama on Nikki Tinker — or not?

Perhaps he doesn’t want to cross his new bride, who donated to Tinker’s campaign.
