The landscape of this year's election is filled with linguistic pitfalls, and as Sen. Barack Obama has said, "words matter" more than ever before.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;
With so much attention on what is being said -- and in a culture where politically sensitive language has become the mainstream -- candidates disguise their attacks in coded messages intended to pique voters' innate racist, misogynist and ageist prejudices, experts in political communication told ABCNEWS.com.
&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;
In March, Clinton outwardly denied rumors that Obama was a practicing Muslim. In an interview with "60 Minutes," when asked whether she believed Obama was a Muslim she said: "No, there is nothing to base that on. As far as I know."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;
"Though she said he was not a Muslim, it was code for maybe he is Muslim," Jamieson said. "It implies, or suggests, that if he was Muslim that would be a problem. Many Muslims ought to be and are offended by that, because it further assumes that Islam equals al Qaeda or terrorism."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/politics/" rel="tag"&gt;politics&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/language/" rel="tag"&gt;language&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/obama/" rel="tag"&gt;obama&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/clinton/" rel="tag"&gt;clinton&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/mccain/" rel="tag"&gt;mccain&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/speech/" rel="tag"&gt;speech&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=4849670&amp;page=1</clipSource><pubDate>Thu, 15 May 2008 00:39:38 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
