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.

So Wright isn't news worthy?

Everything is my fault somehow. It is like the 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon, only different.

...don't know that. For all we know that's not even Jeremiah Wright. You think it is just some sort of coincidence that Barack doesn't even recognize the man these days? Why do you suppose that is?

That's right; that is NOT Jeremiah Wright. It's James Carville all dressed up. You laugh, but think about it. Where's Carville been lately, huh? Moving to New Orleans. Sure, sure he did. That's an obvious cover to explain why he's never seen around town while he's out wearing his Wright garb.

This is simple Clinton battle tactics. Take a completely innocent, harmless man and destroy him by any means necessary.

All Obama has to do is call a joint conference with him and pastor and, if it's not Carville, certainly Wright would accept. Even if Carville tries to play cute and shows up, all Obama has to do is disrobe him right in the middle of the Q and A segment.

Game.

....doesn't mean it's Pete's fault; only that everything happens for the sake of Pete.

And you, Bruzilla!

Hillary is worse than Obama in every count

Obama is significantly more liberal than Hillary. That's #1.

#2, is that he's coming off as a militant black activist. If he doesn't want to be perceived that way, he should reconsider his approach and the people he surrounds himself with.

Wright is news. He is positioning himself to be a major racial player, along the lines of Sharpton, Farrakhan and Jackson. I don't see how you can be unhappy with him getting exposed by the media, unless you just think America needs another race hustler.

...right. This whole Hillary love fest free pass business has gone far enough. Time to start asking her some real questions instead of these softballs about someone else's pastor. She's had a free pass long enough and it's time for some change, some real change. O'Reilly is obviously in the bag for her.

...he's not. Is anyone talking about Bill endlessly and how he screwed this nation over for 8 years, huh? So the pastor is a fruit cake. Big Deal. Bill Clinton sold us down the river with terrorists, with the lies on Wall Street including Enron, with the Chinese military, with the Loral scam and Web Hubbell and his damn worthless telescope, with the Lippo group and the 75 foreign nationals who all claimed the 5th and skipped town.

You people have short memories. Do we really want more of the Clinton's in the White house? What are they gonna do next? Put back all the computer key's they stole?
