The media is carrying the water for the Republican attack machine.

Using guilt by association, they are portraying Barack Obama as a racist, or at best, lacking judgement to separate himself from Reverend Wright. It is no different than what they did against Al Gore and John Kerry. The Republicans dig up dirt and the media makes mud out of it.

By innuendo, they make it seem that Obama hates America. Even though they know there is no evidence that Obama is a racist, they continue to play the clips of the angry Reverend. The Republicans in the media, ie, Pat Buchanan, Joe Scarborough, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and others, keep pushing this story. It is nothing less than a character assassination.

They must be called on their tactics. Either report the facts or stop the mudslinging. Barack Obama is not responsible for the words that are said by Reverend Wright. It is legitimate to say that he may have exhibited poor judgement in staying with the church. There are no more facts known. Only innuendo. They must be called on it.
