Do the Wright Thing (Should McCain bring out Wright Before It's too Late?)

newsweek ^ | Oct 18th | Holly Bailey

[DrHannibalLecter]

Senior advisers think John McCain should attack Barack Obama's ties to his former pastor. He won't.

McCain has refused to do it. The main reason, according to two aides who did not want to be named discussing private conversations with the candidate: any attack could be viewed as racially insensitive—or stir up racist sentiments—and that gets personal for McCain. He has not forgotten the racial smear directed at his own family during the South Carolina primary in 2000, when he ran against George W. Bush. Back then, supporters of Bush (their precise identities were never known) papered cars outside churches and McCain events with nasty fliers. They suggested his adopted daughter, Bridget—who was then just eight years old—was in fact his illegitimate child by a black prostitute. The McCains were sickened about the impact this might have on Bridget and planned to wait until she was much older to tell her about it. Not long ago, Bridget, who is now 17, found out what had happened when she Googled herself

BS McCain if you won't do it for us than how do you expect us to fight for you. Racial sensitivity is bogus there are plenty of good descent black people in this country that might vote for Obama because he's a first but they sure as hell wouldn't sit in that church for 20 yrs. and listen to a supposed man of God rant and rave hate propaganda.

[mimaw]

All they’d have to do is play of a medley his tapes. Asking at the end would you attend this man’s sermons for 20 yrs?

[MikeFrancesa.com]

Yes I agree, I’m still waiting for the famous Republican attack machine to rip into Obama, yes the Ayers bombardment has been effective, despite what the MSM says, and there has been a few 527’s, but we should be seeing a blitz, at least by this week, and I will be shocked if Wright does not make an appearance in some form.

I still believe the October Surprise is Obama nodding his head in approval at a Wright sermon that is anti-American.

[mowowie]

I went camping with a bunch of old friends and a few younger dudes last week in the woods of NH.
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WAS AN OBAMABOT!
None even knew about Wright, Let alone Ayers etc, etc, etc.....
I tried to talk sense a few times but i was basically chided as being a “HATER” a pessimist whatever.
I gave up and just drank beer all weekend.

[loungeSerf]

Hey - you at least made them aware of Obama’s pals. Maybe a couple of them will flip once the 527s start the ad barrage.

No, leave that up to us.

The left is the ones bringing up the race card. They can keep it.

IT AIN’T ABOUT RACE! — ZERO IS A BIG ZERO.

No I’m not yelling... I’m SCREAMING!!!

Zero’s comparison to Governor Palin...

This is an excellent comparison chart —Dems, read and weep.

[mowowie]

I told them all to get on the web and do a little research for once.
Hopefully it will help.

[TribalPrincess2U]

You can put the proof in their faces and they would still not believe it.
So indoctrinated are the left.

[caphillbabe]

after Colin Powell gets off the pot on Sunday, Wright should be fair game!

[Canedawg]

Sounds like you are torturing yourself with ignorant friends, FRiend.

I want the 527s to put the Wright rants in ads. I have been trying to understand where Mac has been coming from in his campaign (putting aside whether I agree with it all ot not) and I am of the opinion he will not change his mind now, and by not playing the Wright card, he sidesteps the race card. That is where he is coming from.

Let the 527s do it. They can do an awesome job. hire the same firm the NRA used to do its commercials.

[TribalPrincess2U]

In fact I doubt they would even care.

Might make them want to vote for Zero even more.

We have it made if we can stop the vote fraud.

[matt1234]

Any national 527’s? That one seems Michigan-centric.

[Perdogg]

Nope they are touring the swing states.

But the thing is, they ALREADY know. This exploded all across the airwaves during the primaries, and then the media moved on. Unless Wright puts his foot in his mouth in some new and newsworthy way, I just don’t see what bump McCain can get from doing what amounts to a rerun of Clinton’s Write expose.

[mowowie]

We are all from MA.
‘nuff said.

You would think our illustrious Gov. Patrick “Coupe” Deval would have put a little sense in them.
Nope.

[stylin19a]

He can’t bring out just wright.
It has to be Davis\Ayers\Dohrn\Wright\Rashid Khalidi\Pflegler\farrakhan\Rezko\Odinga\ ad nauseum

[popdonnelly]

Wright is not the problem. Obama is.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

” yea and if Powell stabs him in the back tomorrow....”

Who in their right mind could be waiting breathlessly for Colin Powell’s endorsement before they pick a candidate ?
If Powell picks Barry-it will be just another black man picking a black man-big surprise.
The MSM will go nuts , but, that’s how the average American will see it.
If Powell endorses McCain-he will be pilloried in the media.
Powell has a lucrative speaking tour-if he’s smart-he’ll stay mum.

McCain may want to stay hands off on Wright ( for whatever bizarre reason ),but, the surrogates should be given the green light.
And a case of Red Bull and a megaphone.
Everyone from Giuliani to Romney to Cindy to Palin should be screaming Wright from the rafters.
