One must admit that watching the liberal media's limited coverage of the many anti-American, anti-War, and Anti-White rantings of Reverand Jeremiah Wright, Barrack Obama's pastor of 20 years, is an interesting exercise in blatant media bias. If this story had been about John McCain attending a white separate church in Idaho, the story would have been carried on the front page of the New York Times (and correspondingly every mainstream news program) from now until the November general election.
As Charles Krauthammer put it, this story will be a growing "cancer" on the Obama campaign, growing each day until it consumes the candidate. I'm sure Hillary is privately and gleefully gloating in wanton anticipation of that day.
The reason for Obama's ultimate demise has less to do with his assocation with Reverand Wright than is does about his judgement. For any logical person that has a sincere love and appreciation for this country, such inflammatory language spoken during a sermon would cause such a person to get up, walk out, and never come back. To stay not only a member, but a close friend and active participant in this church must be viewed as one of poor judgement and full-fledged complicity.
Now it seems that Obama wants us to believe that: 1) this is the first time in 20 years he heard such language from his pastor, and 2) that his schedule was such that he never made it to a single Sunday service where this kind of vitriol was heard over the course of his 20 year membership.
Some of us may have been born at night, but not last night.
Instead, what will happen will be similar to the fate of Dan Rather when he ran the story about George Bush's Air National Guard Service. After that episode conservative bloggers were incented to prove Rather dead wrong. We all know what happened as a result of those efforts. Rather is now an obscure figure on an equally obsure cable network owned by a fellow-lefty, Mark Cuban.
Now, a number of conservative bloggers are probably screening every DVD that this church sells, to see if they can spot a single frame of Obama standing and clapping to one of the Reverand's rants. It's just a question of time before that happens, and when it does, Obama's campaign will be over, (to put it in Spitzer-like terminology)....in a New York Minute!
I guess Hillary won't have to strong-arm those Democrat Super Deligates with her investigative dirt after all!
