So how can you blame the media for merely reporting what happened, which is their job????? |
Hmmm... well let's see... Hillary goes on O'Reilly last night, and the first "tough" question she faces is what she thinks about Wright. After the interview, when O'Reilly talks to Dem advisers, he gets incensed when one of them accuses him of overstating the impact of the Wright story, and goes off on the Wright story again. Then when Miller gets on, what subject does O'Reilly bring up... Wright again.
At the last debate, George Stephanopolis tells Hillary on one point "I know you don't like talking about this, so I won't ask you about it." Then proceeds to beat up Obama on stupid crap like Wright and flagpins. Were these tough questions? Maybe, but where were the questions to Hillary about her ties to the CHICOMs? Where were the questions about how dirt-poor people are somehow able to donates thousands and thousands of dollars to her campaign? Where were the questions about how she manipulated pardons by her husband? If the past 20 years of Obama's church life are so vital to hear about, why not the past 20 years of Clinton's life??? As I said some time ago, Hillary is just being Hillary, and accusing Obama of getting a free pass to deflect attention from the fact that she's the one getting the free pass from the media.
As to the Wright story, it has been reported... and reported... and reported.... and reported... and reported... Tonight O'Reilly is all thrilled about a daring expose on Wright's lifestyle. Now you tell me... what the fluck does that have to do with Obama? Obama doesn't run the church, doesn't decide how much Wright gets compensated, so what's the legitimate need of a story like that aside from making an unfair attack on Obama?
So I have to ask, what has gotten into you? I seem to recall you getting all defensive when the Clintons used constant and repeat attacks like this on Republicans and Clinton's sex victims. So... what's changed? I was opposed to such baloney in the mid 1990s and I still am, so it should come as no surprise to you that I am responding this way.
