Timing suspicious: Did ABC hold Jeremiah Wright tapes until 7 week primary break?

I just think it very convenient that Texas, Ohio, Vermont, Rhode Island, Wyoming Caucus, and the Mississippi primary were held the previous 8 days before this story broke.

It breaks immediately after Mississippi and there is no primary until April 22nd. Can you imagine if this would have come out a couple of weeks ago.

The Trinity Church of Christ is selling these tapes and this probably could have been put together months ago, but that it comes out on March 12th. This could have really hurt Obama in states like Mississippi, Texas, Ohio, and Wyoming. Now it will be a 7wk old story by the time Pennsylvania rolls around.

Listening to OReilly and heard Juan Williams say that Hannity has been talking about this Rev Wright and his inflammatory behavior for months now. Just that nobody in the MSM paid him any mind.

Thats True I had been hearing about this for weeks

If the media ran the story before Super Tuesday (Feb 5th), the Messiah would have been toast. As of right now, the Messiah is guaranteed the lead until the convenetion. The question is the lead going to less than 150? If so, then Hillary could steal the nomination thru the Superdelegates. I really hope this happens. Obama’s youth cult would see how cyncial politics is and stay away from the political process.

If Saturday Night Live hadn’t mocked the media for fawning over Obama, I’m not sure ABC would have EVER run the story.

I still don’t know what is weirder; that media ‘pros’ are juvenile and hyper-sensitive enough to let a TV skit get to them, or that someone still watches SNL.

I heard Hannity today going on about how he’d been on this story for months. Which says something about how effective Hannity is.

“I heard Hannity today going on about how he’d been on this story for months. Which says something about how effective Hannity is.”

I’ve heard Hannity talk about it for months. He says since April of last year. But rather than saying anything about Hannity’s effectiveness, it says far more about the MSM’s determination to ignore a story damaging to Obama.

Then, for some reason ABC decided to get involved with the story.

conservatives WANT Obama....he is defeatable....he has so much garbage in his past and present he can be defeated....

Hitlery will become the next Margaret Thatcher if she needs to be....anything to con the peasants, and most of them will fall for it....

Obama on the other hand.....whether it be his church, his middle name, his finances, his wifes'finances, his corrpution, his wife's hatred of America or his hatred of America...there is just too much out there for him to ever be elected.....I hope anyway..

I knew about this church months ago. I can’t believe no one in the media brought it up until now. People are shocked. I have heard supporters of Obama feeling like they had been fooled.

My first reaction was that the Clintons were behind the “sudden discovery” of these DVDs, but if the Clintons had had them they would probably have used them before now—don’t you think? Maybe somebody just recently slipped them to the Clinton campaign.

My take on this is that the story has been on hold for release at the most damaging time possible.

Then Wright announced retirement, and whoever was sitting on it came to believe that the story lost a lot of power if Wright had been retired for some time, even a month or two. So, there was a push to get it out while Wright was still active in the church.

Too bad Obama wasn’t the nominee, Wright didn’t retire, and the story came out one week before the general election. Hussein would have been toast for sure.
