CHICAGO MEDIA COVERING UP OBAMA WRIGHT FOOTAGE
Chicago Tribune ^

Posted on 03/31/2008 1:00:29 AM PDT by Pacothecat

During the recent media super storm: Obama's Pastor Disaster, CBS 2 Chicago has strangely not released video they have of Obama at Trinity United Church of Christ for a Book Signing / Church Service with Pastor Wright. According to a Chicago Tribune article, at the Service Obama spoke to the cheering congregation and the choir sang, "Hallelujah Barack". After the service Wright and Obama sat together, laughing , talking and signing books. Leaving one to wonder, if a republican candidate had this sort of controversy swirling around would the footage have found it's way to the national and cable news networks by now?

That's not all they're covering up.

Haven't heard/seen another word about the rev's 1.6 million dollar McMansion and his ten million dollar line of credit....

The writer of the newsblog is also pimping for Obama:
The rescinded invitation came days after a story in the Chicago Tribune about the challenge Obama might face in explaining Trinity's creed to white middle class voters. (see Obamamania post below) Right-wing activists had already begun to take it out of context on blogs and TV talk shows. Shortly thereafter, Rolling Stone magazine published "The Radical Roots of Obama," quoting one of Wright's ribald sermons out of context. (In fact, according to the church, Wright was quoting someone else at that moment.)

Does this question even need to be posed?

Obama’s judgement is bankrupt. Has he yet to explain to Wright that his lies about America were a force of division? Wright Lied and Obama sighed but never showed the courage to confront Wright about the lies. Is Obama afraid of his pastor? Does Wright have something on Obama?. Obama’s entire campaign is based on his ability to unite. Unite how, are we all supposed to somehow forgive and find comfort in the lies and anti-american attitude of the TUCC? and yet poor Grandma was a typical whitey whose stereotypes, because she apparently admitted fear of black men, made Obama sick and yet Grandma’s crime was equated to Wrights racism and then when compared to Wrights rants which should have made anyone that heard them sick, Obama defended them... How can this guy be trusted unless of course America wants Obama to sit down with Amadmanjihad smoking a Hookah and both happy to inhale because of course that is the purpose.... Right?

Ed Rendell on with the Friends just praised Fox for their fair and balanced coverage of the race unlike other networks. Steve responded by saying that he had a tingling up his leg.

The YouTube footage is really insufficient to use in commercials. We must keep the pressure on CBS 2 Chicago to release the video at full resolution.

Fox just announced they have “breaking news” on some new Obama docs that show radical views. Ms. Kelly says—we are all over it. Anyone know about this scoop?

Deeper and Deeper
By JAMES TARANTO
March 28, 2008

“I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community,” Barack Obama said last week about his “spiritual mentor,” the Rev. Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright. But now, CNN1 reports, Obama is changing his tune. Well, sort of:

In an interview scheduled to air Friday on ABC’s “The View”—excerpts of which aired on CNN on Thursday night—Obama talks about Wright’s reaction to the controversy.

“Had the reverend not retired and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were [sic] inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn’t have felt comfortable staying there at the church,” the senator said.

Does this mean he would have left? Or does it mean he would have stayed but felt uncomfortable? And when did Wright apologize? Blogger Tom Maguire2 undertakes an extensive investigation, and the answer appears to be: Never. In fact, Obama came close to apologizing to Wright. CNN again:

Obama also said on the ABC talk show that he has spoken with Wright since the uproar over the pastor’s comments.

“I think he’s saddened by what’s happened, and I told him I feel badly that he has been characterized just in this one way and people haven’t seen the broader aspect of him,” Obama said.

And if Obama wouldn’t now feel “comfortable” belonging to Wright’s church, how does he feel about Wright’s successor, Otis Moss? Fox News3 reports that in his Easter Sunday sermon, Moss delivered quite a spirited defense of Wright:

“No one should start a ministry with lynching, no one should end their ministry with lynching,” Moss said.

“The lynching was national news. The RNN, the Roman News Network, was reporting it and NPR, National Publican Radio had it on the radio. The Jerusalem Post and the Palestine Times all wanted exclusives, they searched out the young ministers, showed up unannounced at their houses, tried to talk with their families, called up their friends, wanted to get a quote on how do you feel about the lynching?” he continued...........

excerpt.
