Documents show media plotting to kill stories about Rev. Jeremiah Wright
The Daily Caller ^ | July 19, 2010 | Jonathan Strong

It was the moment of greatest peril for then-Sen. Barack Obama’s political career. In the heat of the presidential campaign, videos surfaced of Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, angrily denouncing whites, the U.S. government and America itself. Obama had once bragged of his closeness to Wright. Now the black nationalist preacher’s rhetoric was threatening to torpedo Obama’s campaign.

The crisis reached a howling pitch in mid-April, 2008, at an ABC News debate moderated by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos. Gibson asked Obama why it had taken him so long – nearly a year since Wright’s remarks became public – to dissociate himself from them. Stephanopoulos asked, “Do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you do?”

Watching this all at home were members of Journolist, a listserv comprised of several hundred liberal journalists, as well as like-minded professors and activists. The tough questioning from the ABC anchors left many of them outraged. “George [Stephanopoulos],” fumed Richard Kim of the Nation, is “being a disgusting little rat snake.”

"...“Do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you do?”..."

Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”

It seems the practice of yelling "Racist!" is calculated and institutional. I'm not surprised by anything in the article but reading it gave me chills anyway.

An almost never spoken of fact IS.......
Jeremiah Wright appears to be as white as I AM....
Only those that reject their lying eyes.. see it differently..

AND... Barry Half-White is as white as he is black, raised by white people in a white culture with a white mother.. educated by treasonous whites.. that used blacks like rented black donkeys.. for a basically white ideology..

Blacks have always been used by white ideology's like farm animals.. and they seem to never see thru the bullshit.. Being promised pie in the sky.. they always are treated like toilet paper.. A sucker is born ever minute and most likely hes black.. or Jewish... You know..... a democrat...

When they get together and actually conspire, it’s news.

But they don’t need to get together and plan what to do. They all think alike. Each little leftie knows exactly what to do and doesn’t need to communicate with other worms on a plan of action.

Rev. Wright doesn’t love America; he only LOVES his vision of what America can become under his political agenda.

Michelle Obama doesn’t love America: she ONLY LOVES the VISION of what America can/COULD HAVE BECOME under her husband’s AGENDA.
