Wolf Mentions Clinton Resurrecting the Wright Issue
Edited on Wed Mar-26-08 11:36 AM by futureliveshere
I am burning one post just to show people that the MSM is not blind to the Clintonian tactics of scorched earth policy. Remember the SDs are watching.

Blitzer: Clinton resurrects the Wright controversy
Posted: 02:30 PM ET

(CNN) – After staying out of the Barack Obama controversy over his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Hillary Clinton has now weighed in big time. She was asked about the flap when she met with the editorial board of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review today. “He would not have been my pastor,” she replied. “You know, you don’t choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend.”

A few moments ago, at a news conference, she essentially said the same thing before the microphones and cameras. And as she did earlier in the day, she noted that she had spoken out last year against Don Imus for his racially-charged comments about the Rutgers University women’s basketball team. “I gave a speech at Rutgers University saying that hate speech was unacceptable in any setting, and I believe that.”

Suddenly, the Rev. Wright uproar has returned to the forefront. The other flap of the day – her embarrassing and erroneous description of her 1996 visit to Bosnia – has been pushed a bit aside. She acknowledges that she made a mistake in describing the scene of her arrival at the Tuzla airbase.

All of this must be seen within the context of this incredibly close race for the Democratic presidential nomination. With four weeks to go to the Pennsylvania primary and the 10 other contests that will follow, every utterance by the two candidates is critical. The scrutiny all around will be intense because the stakes are enormous.


edited the title.

1. Huh? He Didn't Criticize Her In That At All. What Do You Mean He Nailed Her?
Seemed like a relatively benign article to me. :shrug:

2. Got a bit over enthusiastic. But mentions it and spells it out for the public.
