ABC has made it official: use the Rev. Wright against Obama at your peril. Be prepared to be accused of "raising the race issue" to hit "below the belt."
ABC's David Wright, a certified Obama fan/Hillary critic based on this past performance, issued his edict on today's Good Morning America.
Riffing off Hillary having compared herself to Rocky Balboa running all the way up those steps in the first movie, Wright first fairly pointed the irony of the analogy: Rocky wound up losing the fight. Wright, pushing the boxing metaphor, then landed his haymaker:
DAVID WRIGHT: In its approach to superdelegates, the Clinton campaign may be close to hitting below the belt. Clinton's top delegate hunter Harold Ickes told an interviewer he's raising the race issue with superdelegates, arguing that Obama's controversial former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, makes him unelectable.

Lay off Rev. Wright ping to Today show list.
So are they equating him to a dick?
One more time, liberal dip$hits.
There were HUNDREDS of people in the congregation jumping up and down and yelling their support for the Rev’s racist, anti-American, hate speeches.
It’s NOT JUST Wright. It’s the whole church. Anything you say, Wright says, or BO says is meaningless in the face of such rampant, organize, condoned, and embraced racism and hate.
BO fully subscribe and STILL belongs to a hate organization. Do we need to know ANY MORE? Not those of us with brains.
This one pictures epitimizes Hillary, giving better than she gets. ...daddy would be proud of his little fighter.
David Wrong and GMA can say anything they want. This won’t go away - no matter what.
Agreed.
Leave Obama and the Reverend alone
I agree. It doesn’t much matter what polls say about the issue. No one is going to want to appear as if they are a racist. Of course they are going to say the issue “doesn’t matter.”
Oh, and it gets better!
Within the past couple of days, Emmanuel Cleaver, Congressman from KCMO, and a big Hillary supporter,
stated that Wright’s comments TRULY REFLECT WHAT THE BLACK COMMUNITY THINKS.
You know I always thought that was a girl until I saw a snippet of it on some tv show.
If McCain can take some flack over sucking up to that anti-Catholic preacher in Texas then Obama should take the heat for being loyal to Wright.
“Clinton’s top delegate hunter Harold Ickes told an interviewer he’s raising the race issue with superdelegates”
Democrats like the Clintons and their paid attack dogs like Ickes always use race when it is to their advantage. They either attack their opponents as racist or try to raise the race issue themselves. The Democrats hypocrisy is sickening.
Yikes!!
It’s not a girl?
Not sure that it’s hypocrisy so much as it is the standard leftist tactic of “sniping from cover” -
attacking your enemies from behind a shield of “uncriticisability”. 9/11 widows, moms of dead soldiers, any “victim class”, etc.
I thought ABC was the first network to talk about Wright. I guess they like a fake “controversy”.
I think Wright is an excellent example of how people can be manipulated by charismatic hucksters.
Chris Crocker....um....lets just say a somewhat festive individual.
If they snippet, it would be a girl.
We think in terms of logic and fairness, libs don’t.
TO THEM, it is only right that the Black community feels as they do because this “nasty” country has given them good reasons, AND CONTINUES to do so.
So much for unity and healing...
