Anyone here remember how Obama was forced into making a speech about his pastor, Rev. Wright?

[Yavin4]

How the media pretty much held Obama responsible for Rev. Wright's remarks. Remarks made during a service that didn't even happen during the campaign?

Once again, the double standard at work.

1. Yes I remember it well

2. He showed his birth certificate, too.

3. Yes. & I thought at the time it would end OBAMA's campaign.

Ah, the old days when MUSKIE's shedding a tear for his wife, DEAN's victory scream, and such could end a campaign - not like today when convictions, rape, insurrection, and more are just blips. I also remember I bit my tongue over WRIGHT because there was uncritical blinders support.

5. And that Bill Ayers (weatherunderground) attended the same dinner party...that was hammered for weeks. nt
