Wright is not the problem but a symptom of the cancer that is on America.
Look if Rev. Wright had never existed the right and their mouth pieces
of different forms in the media would have produced another "side show"
to distract and divide us over some non-issue. Wright is a marine vet
a former navy medic who treated wounded Americans from Vietnam,
a complex man of different sides, and a convenient tool of the people
want to hurt Barack Obama.

If you doubt this then look @ what "they" did to John Kerry a true war hero.
Kerry's boat was traveling on a river in Vietnam when a mine exploded
and made one of the crew go into the water after which they came under heavy
fire from shore ..... Kerry had the boat turn around and go back after the
man in the water .... Kerry was wounded by shrapnel in his shoulder but
still crawled out to the front of the boat .... exposing himself to being
shot and pulled the man back onto the boat which saved the man's life ...
Kerry also directed fire @ the attackers from the boat's machine gun as he
was doing this. For this he won a Bronze Star .... But looked at what happened
to him when the same attack machine went after him as they are now doing
to Obama via Rev. Wright .... he was labeled a coward and un-American by
the "Swiftboaters for Truth."

The real thing America should be looking @ is these "attacks dogs" who
will say or do anything for power and money not what Rev. Wright said
and then was taken out of context.

1. The handwringers will never see themself
They quiver and panic, every single time, and then call our leaders pink tutus. The same ones who are quivering over Wright, quivered over the Swiftboating, and then blamed Kerry for the cowardice they exhibited.

4. Obama's campaign has become inept in dominating news cycles.

7. Wrong! Obama could hit Hillary with Senator Punjab (Her OWN words) and outsourcing
it would be hot enough to grab attention and rip her soft white underbelly.

You should know by now how that works.

9. The media gets to set the agenda
facts and importance of what "they" say be damned ....
The Columbus Dispatch yesterday .... Is Obama stumbling?????? (rough quote)
Ah, no he is winning and has lock on the nomination but still "they"
are trying to put the doubt back into the equation.

So if "they" want to push Wright "they" will.

12. Sorry, Obama could say something to get their attention. He has FAILED.
He COULD use Senator Punjab (HER words) who cares more about jobs for India than Indiana.

See how easy that would be?

14. Failed to answer? What are you talking about?
Obama gave one of the best speeches in American History in answer to
the "non-issue" of Wright.

16. It's called Changing the Narrative. He isn't going to 'win' on Wright. He has to change the fucking
storyline.

3. I still can't get over how those Swiftboaters did that to one of their own.
Edited on Mon Apr-28-08 09:45 PM by Olney Blue
We can't let the slimeboaters do this to Senator Obama.

6. Nobody on Kerry's boat was part of that crowd ....
BTW .... the story about Kerry was told to me in person by
one of his crew members .... the local media wouldn't
give him the "time of day" but the swiftboat shits got plenty
of run.

wall during their conversations!

15. Exactly.
What is really disheartening here is how many people have turned on our candidate and Wright, instead of directing their outrage where it belongs.
