I agree with your point about timing. He has distanced himself from the pastor way too late.

Time will tell. Hillary has to be liking this latest development as does McCain. IMO Hillary is very beatable, Obama pre-Wright was not. Now this changes things a bunch.

I wonder why Hillary's people didn't blow this one open? Since they are the dirt digging masters and all. Or did they in a round about way?

it is going to be amusing watching the damage control parties running around trying to glaze this over.

...we're just getting started. At some point, Obama may want to consider re-hashing the Clinton legacy and see how 8 years of Animal House plays in he race. I'm sure there is more to come in casting Obama in a negative light and when McCain's turn comes we're gonna hear all sorts of fun stuff about him.

The intent is the same. Not to mention that this guy is big old buddies with Farrakhan, who has been quite specific about his views on race. If you're trying to equate the modern day Klan with criminal skinheads, lets go ahead and equate Wright and Farrakhan with the Panthers and other violent black organizations, shall we?

Obama should have been a non-starter just for going to a race-centered church. Can you imagine if John McCain went to a church that was specifically for white people and said so publicly?

You have to think the Democrats have a portfolio of dirt on McCain complete with release dates and people already scheduled to voice their outrage and concern. It will just be a matter of time.

Had a chat about this subject in APRIL 2007.
Pastor Wright --on the record about having to cut & run during the campaign if things get hot about his rhetoric. Mr Obama agreed.

Looks like they just kicked the plan into motion.
Did Obama know of the sentiments of his pastor?
Absolutely.
Did he just deny it:
Absolutely

LIAR.

Yes, vitriol from Wright or, say a David Duke is of a kind, but in terms of legacy, of actual violence, of imagery, I think that's off base, way off. Wright criticises the US for our foreign policy, which I certainly have issues with, and Wright curses the US for not caring about 'black' issues and for being a nation run by rich old white men. He doesn't claim and black supremacy nor the subjugation of non blacks.

That is, to me, a far cry from the words, ideals and deeds of the Klan and the legacy of slavery.

So, what is Wrights intent and what is the Kl-ans intent?

Besides, the Klan has endorsed Obama anyway.

Ku Klux Klan Endorses Obama

Ah, but his good friend Louis Farrakhan does. Birds of a feather and all...

...this should be interesting because I missed the part where King Louis wants to subjugate everybody else.
