‘ONE OF THE MOST DESPICABLE THINGS YOU CAN DO’: WHAT MADE ARIANNA HUFFINGTON TAKE ROMNEY’S SIDE OVER OBAMA?

Liberal commentator and online media entrepreneur Ariana Huffington appeared on CBS “This Morning” Monday, where she took a surprising stance on the so-called “spiking the football” ad focusing on the death of Osama bin Laden, released by the Obama campaign over the weekend.

“I agree with the Romney campaign, that using the Osama bin Laden assassination, killing, the great news that we had a year ago, in order to say basically that Obama did it and Romney might not have done it … .I don’t think there should be an ad about that,” Huffington told the panel, going on to say that she was not opposed to media coverage of the terrorist’s capture and death, “But to turn it into a campaign ad is one of the most despicable things you can do.”

The Obama campaign video in question features former President Bill Clinton applauding President Obama for the death of Osama bin Laden.
