A flyer circulating in South Carolina just prior to the Democratic presidential debate in July 2007 attacking presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) over the accusation that he “voted to give criminal sexual abusers early release from prison,”  <ref>[http://www.palmettoscoop.com/2007/07/24/dems-play-dirty-in-charleston/ Dems play dirty in Charleston], July 24, 2007.</ref> had been attributed to the Hillary Clinton campaign. In the flyer, Obama was compared to former Mass. Gov. Michael Dukakis - who came under fire during his 1988 presidential run for his release of convicted murderer William Horton who later committed rape and assault - and claimed that the Illinois Senator “is a threat to our safety and security.”

At the bottom of the leaflet was the statement “Mike Dukakis, Willie Horton, Barack Obama, wrong for South Carolina, wrong for America.”
