"When will Obama clear up this Wright issue for us?"
Why is this all I hear from the MSM?

Why are they pretending that he did not make a speech on this?

Why are they pretending that he did not make another huge speech yesterday, answered all questions from the press?

Why are they showing all positive clips of Clinton and then ask when the Wright story will go away for Obama. Even though THEY FUCKING MAKE THE STORY stay or go...

What has Obama done to the MSM to deserve this?

Thank goodness Obama and Obama supporters have shown over and over that we aren't going any where...

1. What part of Obama's
speech didn't they understand? Was it in Chinese?

The MSM is really determined to keep this manufactured controversy going.

2. Turn it off.
I mean it. every time the media mentions Wright, we should just turn it off. Let's appoint one person to watch and report to the rest of us, so we don't have to give them the viewership for this crap.

3. I agree.
Though I know their blatant bias against Obama is slowly working and it is pissing me off.

6. Change the channel
the SD's have been coming out for him today. Ignore the pundits and the cynics. They just want to keep it stoked for the weekend non-newsfest.

10. For what its worth
I did some phone banking for Obama this morning. I called Indiana. I got more answering machines than not, but, of the real live people I talked to, not one of them mentioned Rev Wright. Not one. Get on the phone. Talk to people. Talk about the issues that really matter. Explain why YOU support Obama. Every little bit helps.

13. I know..
me too, so I am not trying to say you don't have a right, I'm just recommending it, because everytime they say Rev.Wright, I push that button and it's a subtle "bite me" and it feels so good. :P

Eventually they'll stop but I refuse to listen to the non-issue anymore.

I also think we should just stop posting, and start ignoring Rev. Wright threads. No sense in keeping it stoked, it makes us nervous for no reason. He's got the Supers on his side, and they clearly aren't shaken. Yay Obama!

Not this time. B-)

7. The Media is doing this to constantly remind Obama that they can make or break him
like they did Howard Dean.

11. He's being tested.
Baited, if you will. Nothing would scare Joe Six Pack more than the sight of an angry Black man. The last thing the corporatists want is a populist in office. And we all know who owns the media.

9. They aren't going to let a sensational story go. And this is
sensational in that it has damaged Barack Obama, to my utter dismay. What is wrong with this Wright character? Does he not care that he could lose the election for Obama? I am so upset over this. You should have heard Rush L. cooing to the super delegates today. My blood pressure is usually borderline low but I'll bet it was up while listening to that!

12. Another question by Andrea Mitchell?
What more can Obama do? Send hitmen after him? Jezus

14. These people
are some of the biggest idiots in the world. I think the reason they cover stories such as the Wright issue so heavily is that they aren't intelligent enough to provide any comprehensive coverage of actual policies. They wouldn't even know where to start thanks to the Beltway "bubble" they live in.

15. " ....... we aren't going any where... "
Please say that wasn't intended to be prophetic.
