Every article about Obama on TV, radio or newspapers includes some reference

[AlinPA]

to his former pastor. 'murcans are brainwashed.

[Vinca]

1. And not a peep about John McCain and Pastor Hagee or any of

the other nutball fundie pastors he's glommed onto over the years.

[MonkeyFunk]

3. Because Hagee isn't McCain's pastor

[Vinca]

5. But Mr. McCain sought his endorsement. nt

[MonkeyFunk]

18. Yes he did

But every candidate has hundreds and hundreds of endorsers. But only one pastor.

I know you'd like to believe that Obama's relationship to Wright is the same as McCain's to Hagee, but it's just not the case. But don't worry - Wright seems to have quieted down.

2. Might as well own it because after the convention it will still be...

Obama comes to the convention having survived his association with *(^&*%* &*%*& pastor Rev Wright.

[NJmaverick]

4. That's because Obama is such a great candidate

They (hillary and her repuke allies) can't attack the man. All they can do is attack others and try and tie those people to Obama.

6. According to Time Mags the page, CNN declares a Wright free zone

http://thepage.time.com/2008/05/05/morning-show-summary-56/

John Roberts said CNN has declared a “Rev. Wright-free zone”– “our viewers want us to move on.”

7. Until the GE of course

[City Lights]

9. Wha?

:wow: They'll gain me as a viewer if that's true!

[DemsUnited]

10. Yeah, i'd have to give them some respect, too. Didn't hear it

with my own ears, but I've never seen Mark Halperin of The Page quoting inaccurately.

[EffieBlack]

15. I heard him say it - at the top of an interview with Obama

he said, "I'm not going to ask you any questions about Rev. Wright. We've declared this a Wright-free zone. Our viewers want us to move on."

In my world, when we decide not to talk about something, we just don't talk about it. But I guess I can put up with CNN announcing they're not going to talk about Wright if they really then don't talk about it. But I hope they don't spend the next weeks bragging that they're not talking about it (as they brag about "the best political team on television" - something that, if it were true, would not need to be announced every 8 minutes since everyone would already know it).

[DemsUnited]

19. thanks for this -- good to hear confirmation from someone who

actually saw the statement.

And I so much agree with you about that "best political team on television" brag -- it's getting to the point that even the CNN folks can't say it with a straight face!

[K Gardner]

16. If this is true, I'll turn the TV news back on to CNN.

[Kitty Herder]

8. I'm so sick of hearingabout Obama's pastor, that I'm starting to think of

him as "He who shall not be named." Just cause I don't want to hear his name again! And I really like him!!

[Yossariant]

11. Barack is brainwashed by his pastor -- err---- uh --- hmm--- former pastor.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

12. Ok, I'll bite. How is Obama "brainwashed" by Wright?

:eyes:

[Yossariant]

13. Don't bite me. I was responding, as indicated, to the OP. "'Murcans are brainwashed."

Can I get an Amen?

:evilgrin:

[QC]

14. The corpmedia made Obama, and now they are unmaking him.

Anyone who has watched them in action knew to expect this.

[Toucano]

17. True. The telling part to me is when I ask people what Wright said

that they found so offensive, NOT ONE can recall anything.

They ALL say, it was the general feeling of his remarks.

Conclusion: the facts don't matter. The media spin is the impression left.

Tragic.
