Everyone is pilling on Obama right now. I'm afraid of two things: blowing the utility of the dirt too soon before the election and getting stuck with Hillary instead.
Obama is the easier one for McCain to beat. I don't care what polls say right now. He'll be much easier when it's a one on one show. Hillary would be much tougher to defeat than Obama.
Also, getting all this J.Wright stuff out there now may make the media and public numb to it before election day when it is more important.
I think Rush said Hillary was easier to beat, but that was (long) before this pastor thing.
Thats the funniest thing I have read here in a long time .
Most of the jumping on is happening elsewhere. FR is acting conservatively in this issue.
I have thought of the same thing, but you never let political opportunity pass. While he is trying to dig himself out of this hole you find another one to cause him to fall into. As General George S. Patton said:
“Attack, attack, attack, quickly, decisively, shoot and keep on shooting”
The Hillary-is-easier people keep pointing to her negative approval ratings, but negative approval ratings for Hillary don’t translate into positive votes for McCain. Anyway I think this thing is out of our control (i.e. under Hillary’s control).
Rush was wrong. He was wrong on this and he’s been wrong on a lot of things. Hillary had a knife against her jugular and it was pulled back by “well meaning” people following Rush’s suggestions. November will not be pretty no matter which side of the aisle you sit on.
The thing about Obama is that he doesn’t have the Clinton machine behind him. That makes him inherently easier to beat.
The back burner is just as hot on this one. Forget it! It is time to melt the bottom of the pot on B.O. and his wife! Do it now!

I believe Obama has the Kennedy machine in back of him.
I was wrong too. I voted for Obama in Virginia, so now when Hillary takes the nomination she will have a great comeback story. It all started a year or two ago when Hillary backers sat around and figured out who would be the best patsy opposition for her. Someone up and coming who could catch fire, but might have a skeleton or two or three waiting in the closet.
Hillary and McCain are in the pockets of special interests and are corrupt. Obama should never have won a Senate seat. Much of this about Obama, I knew last year. Why now? Because he is beating Hillary?
Just wait until it is Hillary against McCain and the media will spread rumors about the Manchurian Candidate, his and Cindy's health, and lots more.
Well that means he’s already headed towards a bridge then.
That’s a concern I share.
ANYONE could beat Obama.
It is good that the American people get to know Obambi as he really is. He is still young but he should NEVER get the chance to run for POTUS again. The Illinois electorate should get rid of him ASAP.
My father makes the argument that if you have to pick between Hillary and Obama, pick Hillary because she’s in the pockets of the special interests while Obama is in the pockets of those set out to destroy Western civilization.
My counterpoint is that “big ears” will be an order of magnitude easier to beat in the general. I’ve been thinking about two other points too. Obama will generally tend to lose white, male independents which are more likely to vote for McCain instead, while Hillary may lose many blacks (especially after beating/exposing Obama) but those voters will probably just stay home instead of voting for McCain.
Secondly, Rush may have attempted to construct this situation to boost his own popularity. He’s bound to attract many more listeners during a Clinton presidency than during a McCain one.
The Wright association has to be used now, and used forcefully, or the MSM will spin it into trivia.
McLaim cannot and will not win..
The democrats could run Bwany Fwank and win..
They could even run Al "global warming" Gump and win..
my opinion is, Obama is easier to beat.
also, my guess ids Obama will win the nomination.
McCain or Hussein, take your pick
I absolutely agree. I've worked under a black boss who hated whites. He didn't care about the business, just promoting any minority. White men were the enemy. It was an ugly couple of years.
I agree with what you’re saying, but it’s a moot point. There is nothing that FReepers are going to be able to do or say to dampen the media frenzy at this point simply because we’re not the ones instigating it.
I mean, come on folks, this story has been out there for months now. Why all the sudden interest?
I’ve actually lost count of the number of stories about Wright that have popped up all the sudden. Too much, too fast, too widely spread to be coincidence.
It’s pretty obvious to me that Hillary and Bill are calling in a few media markers right now. This has their MO stamped all over it.
I am with you. If we go easy on Obama now and he will be the Dem nominee, it will be hard to go back to this, and if we did, it would look political. We need to have the light of truth shine on Obama.
And the way this election is going, it's very hard to get the answer from a Crystal Ball to find out which Dem would be easier to beat. Obama’s hypocrisy reflects badly on the entire Democrat party.
He is a Trojan Horse — pretending to be a moderate and non-racist, when in fact he is an America-hater, wanting to destroy our country and way of life from within.
In my perspective, Obama and Clinton are political clones of each other in significant respects. In fact, I can substitute Clinton’s name for Obama’s in my anti-Obama posts concerning constitutionally unauthorized federal spending and homosexuality and repost them without compromising accuracy.
The itty bitty attack the New York Slimes put on John Insane (which he could only mouth was disappointing) was but a foretaste of the gorry future. The media will define McLaim in short order, leaving the public to see only an old man with a cancer history and an anti-Republican bent who favors amnesty and the ‘otherside of the isle’. The Keating Five will not even be needed to sink Johnny’s little boat. I fear for my nation!
Hillary’s middle name is the key.......the reason Rush is in love with her!
correct
“He is a Trojan Horse — pretending to be a moderate and non-racist, when in fact he is an America-hater, wanting to destroy our country and way of life from within.”
exactly
I disagree ... when you are in a fight, you don’t stop when the other guy is stumbling, you keep hitting him until he cannot get up any longer....then you kick him one more time for good measure.
How many FReepers have you known that posted three threads on the day they signed up?
We are picking up the numerous stories, I suspect a number of the articles were written by Hillary supporters.
Those of us who have followed politics for a while know the danger of simply dismissing polls out of hand.
I disagree with the premise. It has been very difficlt to get the MSM to report negative stories on BHO. For whatever reason, the SNL skit maybe, this has become acceptable now. But it may again become “not the thing to do”. So this window of opportunity should be taken advantage of.
if so, then I want to see Hillary.
blacks will stay away.
If not, then I want to see Obama
as it will make no difference.
Further, we may even see the Raili Odinga, Kenya connection, be reported by the MSM.
So you are calling me a green horn wow I don't care what the Turks have to say either
Got news for you. This dump on Barack (Redacted) Obama is way bigger than FR, or even Rush Limbaugh could ever make it.
Hillary’s pulling out the big guns now, as everyone has been expecting. As damaging as this might be to Obama, it may not even be the grand finale.
You can’t stop it, best thing to do now is sit back and enjoy the show as this all plays out.
Popcorn, anyone?
This stuff needs to be brought out early and often. Last minute gotcha stuff never works with democrats because they own the media.
I totally agree with you. Rush made a mistake. We want Obama to be the nominee. Not only do we get rid of the Clintons, he would be easier to beat.
I believe Clinton could take Ohio in the GE. She made a lot of impact with her rhetoric on “getting things done on the economy”. McCain is weak in that area and Ohio is undergoing a tremendous slowdown. Hillary would run strong with the working class. I don’t think they would go for Obama. Look at how poorly he did in the Ohio exit polls.
It boils down to Ohio, Ohio Ohio. Clinton could win it with Stricklands help. McCain would trounce Obama.
You strike when the iron is hot ...
Thanks!!
“it may not even be the grand finale”
Nope. We haven’t even discussed his voting record in Springfield yet — pro-infanticide for babies that miraculously survive abortion procedures, reduced penalties for sex offenders, porn in schools, sex ed for Kindergarteners — we should be able to beat Obama like Mondale and Dukakis.
Uh, don't you think it's about time? The media has ignored it all for well over a year.
It’s not the right, and therefore the target market of FR, that is perpetuating these stories. No way we could put it on the back burner.
Good post. FR members are allowing themselves to be manipulated by the MSM enablers of the Krintong Kriminal Konspiracy whose fingerprints are all over this thing. I say, shame!
Me too and Im not ptone to fear anything..
Good point.
No, that is completely wrong. Rush did the right thing, as usual.
Just look at how the dynamics of this thing have completely changed. Do I have to spell it out for you?
