Once again we have another story that has been picked up in a big way by the Blogosphere but is currently being ignored by the mainstream media. And this time the story is huge. If you've seen the Drudge Report today you will know exactly which story this is; the audio of a 2001 interview on Chicago public radio station WBEZ FM in which Barack Obama explicitly calls for the "redistribution of wealth." You won't find any information about this blockbuster story in the MSM just yet but as been very typical lately, you can be informed on this topic on the Blogosphere including this report from Steve Schippert of Wizbang who posted it at 1:20 this morning while the members of the MSM were complacently sleeping, comfortable in the knowledge that Obama probably had the election in the bag:
The audio of a Barack Obama radio interview below is stunning. Unfortunately, it will probably stun few. For once the word "Constitution" is mentioned, electoral eyes roll into the backs of voters' heads as memories of a boring high school history class in a hot, dusty classroom emerge in the place of contemplation of the founding principles of this nation.

PING!
the people that buy the msm bs hook line and sinker are all for redistribution of wealth.
Well...foxnews.com has a link to the 2001 interview on their from page. It’s a start.
They are for this.
It’s not in any way perceived as a negative by his constituents or the MSM.
Obama is openly campaigning to take money and redistributing wealth. It fits his demographics perfectly.
He never said the redistribution is limited to the US either.
Fox has it on their front page.
“Will MSM Continue Ignoring Shocking Obama ‘Redistribution of Wealth’ Audio?”
Short answer.
Yes.
I doubt msm will go with it. Their resolve is strong for obama. What you are likely to see is another manufactured controversy on Palin.
msm is in run out the clock mode for obama. Don’t expect any negative story against lord obama to get attention.
Except that this story is already burning up the Web, including Drudge Report. Nowadays more and more people rely on the Web, not so much the MSM for their information. Your humble correspondent is an example. Years ago I read the newspapers 7 days a week without exception. Nowadays I rarely pick up a paper since I get the news a lot quicker and in more detail on the Web.
Morning guys on Fox are going to play the clip.
Fox and Friends is going to play the tape of the interview. I just heard it!
I am praying the average voter (undecided) will understand it.
Watching:) Wow, finally!
I think he just said 20 minutes.
He just now said 20 min, so guess you are right:)
LOL, I bet the Obama camp has been up all night trying to figure out how to spin this one around. I wonder if they have one of those spinners like they use at the carnival that makes cotton candy:)
And most likely the end as far as major media outlets. This is a story that they must suppress if they want contact with the Obama administration.
