Why does the media refuse to show the other 99% of Rev. Wright's sermons?
We keep seeing the same clips over and over. I'm sure there are tons of other sermons on tape. Why does the MSM and Cable TV Shows not cover any of it?

2. They're boring.
Meaning that they're nice, wholesome & Christian-like.

3. Because they already flamboozled the all the sheep out there.
They throw the shit because they know it will stick and all the suckers will fall for it.

4. They could be kind enough to show just one positive sermon
The MSM could throw us a bone.

7. comparing the usa to al aqeda was new over the weekend another is on youtube
I don't remember it, I haven't see the ones trashing Natalie Holloway...I don't really care to.

Now that they have the publics attention, they will release a little more each week or month as needed.

10. CNN has only aired the less contraversial ones, with the exception
of the GDA sermon. The others still seem to be playing new clips. FOX has no intention of letting this go.

11. Glen Beck just played some and took Obamas speech apart
never watched his show before thought it would be a break...not

so far, except for Matthews just about all of the commentators are calling him on his lack of judgment and unbelievable for saying he didn't know he held these harsh views in 20 years with him as an adviser.
