And this could be an honest concern for some people. So why did Bob
Kerrey, a big Hillary backer, go on record in an interview talking
about Obama's great Muslim heritage and roots just the other day?

I believe any mention potentially could be seen that way, in a similar

collective subconscious by subtle innuendo. It's a form of "poisoning
the well", albeit a more stealthy one.
