Shawn Hannity and Big fat slob Rush are the main ones pushing the Wright story

[bigdarryl]

Hannity was on radio today saying QUOTE: stay tune because theres more to come on this. Obama hasn't been scrutinized by the mainstream media.WHAT the fuck is he talking about Obama has been hit with being called a Radical Muslim not black enough being disrespected by the Clinton campaign by saying little states he has won mean nothing calling him a kid and now he is supposed to be responsible for EVERY thing his pastor says. I wish they make up there minds first they say he is Muslim and now hes to black because his pastor said some racial comments.

1. No? Who would have thunk it?

WTF do you expect?
Obviously now that it looks like Obama got the nomination (or at least the most likely one to get the nomination), all this stuff is coming out.
Which is so very predictable.
Did you really think the likes of Hannity are gonna sit quietly and not say a peep?
LOL.

[panader0]

2. Those two and the Hilbots.

[shaniqua6392]

3. Obama had better be careful talking to Hannity on Faux News tonight.

He is a slippery little bastard.

[lapfog_1]

12. Which one do you believe is smarter and unflappable???

I'm not to worried.

[shaniqua6392]

13. Of course Obama is smarter.

But Hannity is slimy and he will use anything to smear Obama. I wish Obama would go on the other networks to defend this issue. But I have always wished Democrats would take a vow never to go on that network. It just gives them legitimacy that they do not deserve.

4. Hannity, Rush, and DU's Dirty Dozen.

[LisaL]

5. Oh right.

Cause nobody else cares. I imagine there are 527 commercials coming, probably with this pastor saying the things he says.

[KAZ]

24. Yes, I'm sure Clinton's 527s are editing right now.

[movonne]

6. Oh so that is where all the hillary supporters are getting their news..since

they have decided they hate KO...no wonder they are starting to sound more like repugs..

[grantcart]

7. I disagree with what you are saying about Rush

he is a drug addict slob - he lost a lot of weight and is no longer fat

[SoonerPride]

8. The Oxycontin Diet worked wonders

Really.

[grantcart]

16. also robbed him of his hearing

[Saturday]

11. Are you sure?

I thought he had gained the weight all back again from pictures I've seen of him. Don't know for sure though.

[Saturday]

9. It's true Obama hasn't been scrutinized by the media.

He has been the media's darling. His pastor is on his campaign. Yes he needs to be responsible (not irresponsible as you wrote) for his words. Didn't you hold Ferraro accountable for her words?

[KittyWampus]

17. his pastor is NOT on his campaign. You are wrong.

[boobooday]

10. Hannity has been harping on this on his radio show for weeks

He must be just thrilled.

Did you know Obama's church expresses an affinity for the people of Africa? Horrors!

14. best. response. ever.

What drives me crazy is how this could have been avoided so easily if Wright was the slightest bit media-savvy. Had he merely controlled his tongue and limited himself to advocating an attack on Iran to encourage massive worldwide Muslim attacks leading to a fulfillment of the biblical prophecy of end-times and bringing about Armageddon and the summary slaughter of every Jew, Muslim, Catholic, and non-believer on the planet while rapturing him and his flock up to heaven, then followed it up by denouncing Catholics as cult members and blaming Hurricane Katrina on gay people, this story wouldn't be metastasizing like this. One five minute milquetoast repudiation by Obama and it would all be behind him.

But what does Wright do instead? He spews this vile "God damn America" bile. What a psycho.

[KittyWampus]

18. LOL!

[Coexist]

26. another good one:

A couple of points:

1. As an Orthodox Jew, I have heard pulpit rabbis say some offensive things -- and I'm not talking about things that are part of normative Jewish law like rules regarding gentiles -- but all sorts of thoedicy-type claims about why God allowed particular tragedies to occur, usually involving very Jew-centric views of the world and often ascribing the worst of intentions to gentiles or non-Orthodox Jews. Nonetheless, I never felt the inclination to walk out mid-speech or cut my ties to my synagogue or the rabbi himself. Maybe I am applying a double standard here, but to me my rabbi's political views are just one narrow aspect of a broad relationship I have with both him and the institution he leads. Based on Obama's statements, I assume that this is Obama's view of his relationship with Wright.

2. The question is whether Obama should be doing more. One option is for him to give a Speech sort of like the one Romney gave regarding Mormonism. The reason why this might be successful is that it is precisely Obama's oratory that has given me and many others the comfort that he doesn't agree with Wright's views. He did this most clearly in his convention speech where he convincingly painted a picture of national unity and togetherness transcending race and religion that is so contrary to Wright's views. I think he can give a speech touching on the same themes while at the same time explicitly rejecting Wright's views and explaining his relationship. Given Obama's strength as an orator, I think it can only help.

[KittyWampus]

27. Obama does need to give a speech on this subject. Unlike Romney, his would be worthwhile

:)

31. Good post.

:thumbsup:

[Window]

29. LMAO!

[KittyWampus]

15. does anyone think this might HELP Obama? Debunks the "Muslim" crap.

[nomaco-10]

19. Your're Wrong. Every one of the basic cable news channels.....

have had this on a loop all day long. This is huge! It is not only disturbing in it's content, but tremendously disapointing to many Obama supporters.
Edited to add: The tv is on in the other room and the rev wright's vid is playing on hardball. He sounds likes somebody deranged and full of hatred.
I can't even begin to tell you how sad all this makes me.

[caledesi]

20. Exactly...they want to run against HC.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

23. Of course, they'd be fools NOT to push Hillary who would be MUCH easier to beat in the GE.

[texastoast]

21. Don't you love the pukes' desperation?

In lieu of a candidate?

[caledesi]

22. Or HC's desperation..dirtytricks NT

[samplegirl]

25. I wish someone would get caught with his blonde

anchor he is so fond of. Ainsley Airheart.

[sueragingroz]

28. and this surprises you how?

BTW: To make it abundantly clear to anyone who doesn't have me on iggy already...

I am as upset about this as you are.

I didn't want to be proved right about the tactics of Rove and how this would all play out.

All I care about is a democrat getting the white house.

I could see this train wreck coming and here it is.

Just because you know a train wreck is coming, doesn't mean that you are going to enjoy watching it.

[Freida5]

30. Hannity has been talking about this for a year. The MSM is just picking up.

[MzShellG]

32. It's sad that some DU'ers/dems are siding with the freepers.

They are proving Wright right, holding Barack to a different standard than other polititians.
