Obama is just another ‘America owes me’ Liberal.

Sean Hannity has been trying to expose this for some time and gain notice about Obama’s pastor and he finally got it! Obama is finished!

It should be pretty obvious you keep your powder dry while the primary is still going.

The mind boggles.

First, you might be right about Obama so accepting the hate rhetoric of Wright that it didn’t jar him. But I don’t think so.

He knew it was different enough to ban Wright from speaking at some Obama event or another. But maybe a campaign advisor so...advised, I suppose.

It was ABC who broke this story! It was no “talk show with a limited audience” so I don’t know what you mean by that. Rush Limbaugh has a limited audience?

But yeah, every big media has been covering this story because the Lamestream is up against that greatest influence on the American people and even they know it can’t be ignored. Which would be a video, a precious sound and sight byte, that most cherished and believed and impossible to ignore communicating device in our cinema culture.

No way they can ignore it. We’ve got wall to wall sound and sight bytes!

I heard that ABC had mentioned the story, but didn’t watch their program. I was under the impression they just played a very short (10-second) clip of Rev. Wright, so I figured they were trying to make it go away by treating it as a minor flap.

When Sean Hannity asked McCain about the controversy during Hannity & Colmes this past week, McCain said he "knows" Obama and is sure that Obama doesn't believe those things.

This was probably before McCain ever watched the clips...the story was 'breaking' that day. Instead of deferring or using it to his advantage, McCain's first instinct is to defend his opponent. He's so eager to earn brownie points from the MSM that he comes off like a real milquetoast. More and more I think he should have a big L on his forehead, because that is simply the persona he's creating. Once again I say: This is the Republican nominee???

Just got out my old copy of "Slick Willie" by Floyd G. Brown.

Yep, it's all still there...all 14 chapters...very well documented in Appendices A-Q...

Published well before the Clintons were first elected in 1992, I thought for sure there was NO WAY America would elect these clowns...

Not Bill's mentor talking about doing things, but Bill & Hillary themselves actually DOING things...

Bill organizing & leading anti-American protests in England...

Bill defrauding real-life Army ROTC Commanders to evade the draft & broadcast his loathing of the US military...

The tape transcripts of Bill talking with Gennifer Flowers...

Hillary's When you vote for my husband, you get ME too! It's a 2-for-1 Blueplate Special!!

And Hillary's hateful side...that college magazine cover (she was the Editor) showing pig-faced police officers being overwhelmed by student protestors who were about to behead one of the cops with a machete...the caption: Seize the moment!

It all made no difference...they were elected and re-elected...the body count mounted...Waco...wag the dog...impeachment...Bill lying under oath at a deposition...no matter, it was only about sex so it wasn't perjury...all this on the record...all not mattering a whit...

And now, if they can just get Obama lynched...and I thought the lynching yesterday was thoroughly effective but it looks like he's still twitching...the Clintons will be back on track to return to the White House...

That's America, Colonel!

Michelle is a tough cookie and at least as tall as Barrack-— and the one who pretty much raises the two girls. Staying at Trinity is at least 50% her doing. She was very likely raised in a solid church going family. This church stuff was a new experience for Hussein

McCain getting involved right now gives Obama and the Demos the relief they need. When your enemy is self destructing, get out of the way and let him.

RUSH: ... Now, we need to get some credit to somebody. Brian Ross is the one Drive-By reporter who's following up the story and reporting on it. Now, the Wall Street Journal had a column today by Ronald Kessler, but yesterday Brian Ross at ABC did. We've gotta give credit where credit is due. The rest of the Drive-Bys are wishing they could make this go away, because they know it is not helpful to Obama. But Brian Ross, we've had our disagreements with him in the past, but he's been in there on this one.

Barack Obama and Pastor Wright: Far More Than Guilt by Association

Tell Us Which Pastor Wright Sermons You Agree With, Senator

Thanks. Guess my ageing memory still works.

I never watch any of these alphabet networks so I’m not familiar with Brian Ross...don’t even know what he looks like. But I seem to recall a connection with Brian Ross and the Clintons. I think Ross has been like one the Clintons’ fave Lamestream contacts to better serve them.

Anyway, I’ve been wondering where all these tapes came from all of a sudden. It’s a bit of a puzzlement.

First, if the Clintons got these tapes out I’d wonder why they waited so long. I mean, damn if I would wait until my opponent done won the thing to destroy him.

Second, there’s some opinion that these tapes have always been available, possible to purchase for a fee.

That simply should not be true. Lord even a Freeper would have at least one tape linked up and ready for view by the time Obama won his first primary. And I know the Lamestream don’t do their job but ....the cables....no one had this sooner?

Finally surely Obama knew that these tapes would hurt his campaign. Or I don’t know, maybe they’re really that obtuse.

It’s evident from the quality of the tape that a videographer was hired or a professional did it. These are not videos made my own fine self who would have the picture shaking and jiving along with that congregation.

I think that this was Wright’s own videos or were made for the church archives, I don’t know. But they were hidden somewhere at the beginning of the Barack candidacy cause this would have killed him sooner.

It's a mystery as to why Clinton Inc. waited so long on this...perhaps they are slipping in their old age. Took a peek at the church website to find a whole series of VHS tapes for sale...this is where Fox News bought them, as they noted in their story:
