Nada on the New York times; however, an article on Lindsey Grahamesty second guessing the Palin pick instead of Lieberman.

I believe there is a thread here today that MSNBC (Joe) covered it this morning.

[Thane_Banquo]

Video has gotten over 1 mil hits today. Drudge is very widely read. His circulation is probably higher than the NYSlimes.

[Nichevo]

MSNBC seems to think Hispanics will put Obama over the top and CNN is giving its coverage to Jennifer Hudson’s nephew, (may he rest in pace and may God grant comfort to his family.)

[Parley Baer]

Listening to Sean Hanity and he is on a ABC station. Anyways during the news break they played a clip of McCain mentioning the tape during a stump speech somewhere. So McCain/Palin are on to it.

[voxitar]

It’s gaining traction...from a google news search, I’m seeing it covered by ABC, US News, and even the Telegraph in the UK.

Better yet, McCain in a speech in Dayton, OH rolled out his new nickname for Obama - “Barack The Redistributor.”

LOL

[libh8er]

The pressure is going to mount and at some point they will have to relent (like the Breck Girl story). Expect a spun version no earlier than Wednesday, or a brief mention sometime Thursday.

the MSM will not cover the story untill obama denies it, they will then play the obama excuse over and over and over

[tatown]

It was discussed on F&F this am.

This will get play as McCain & Palin bang away on it. The MSM will be unable to ignore it. Now that is not to say that they won’t try to poo-poo it, but they will have to report what is being said by the candidate? Do you remember how Ayers go ZERO play until Palin’s famous ‘palling around with terrorists’ line?

Dang, my links don't work. Here's one:

Barack Obama interview reignites fear of socialist agenda

A radio discussion in which Barack Obama lamented past failures to bring about "redistributive change" has reignited fears he plans to introduce socialist-style economic policies.

The Bstn GLBE cked it up:

McCain Slams Obama on “redistribution of wealth”

There are a bunch of MSM articles reporting on McCain attacking Obama for the comments. I doubt there are any MSM articles that straightforwardly report on the comments themselves as news. This one is from ABC's Jake Tripper:

McCain to Attack Obama for Public Radio Comments From 2001

October 27, 2008 10:16 AM

On Jan. 18, 2001, then-state senator Barack Obama appeared on a public radio chat show to discuss "The Courts and Civil Rights."

You can listen to the whole show HERE.

In that show -- WBEZ-FM's "Odyssey" -- Obama discussed the role of the courts in civil rights.

Today, aides say, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will seize on some of those remarks, as hyped by Mr. Drudge... ________________________________________________________

Poor Jake, has to report on a story after it has already been sullied by Mr. Drudge. He goes on to provide about 35% of the post to the Obama campaign's tortured explanation.

[Plutarch]

From The New Republic. Obama was nuanced about it, you see. [Said with a lisp and with rapid wrist flexion:] It is just ridiculous!

ABC blog by Jake Tapper covers it, but I don’t know if it will get any network coverage.

I wonder if nobama and missshell would like some of those with lesser money than they moving into their home, and share some of their millions? I wonder if missshell will share some of her French clothes with those poor who are her size, expecially the shoes which she buys in France, because our shoes do not fit her precous feet?

When the bolsheviks took over Russia, those with large homes were either kicked out and the rulers moved in, or they had to share with people with less than they.

Liberals are so friggin stupid that we could call Obama a National Socialist and they wouldn’t even know that we just called him a NAZI.
