??!?!?
Apologies for this video — I can’t embed the damthing and it’s from Hannity. Couldn’t find it anywhere else…
But it includes a tape of Ed Klein [author of Amateur] talking with Rev. Jeremiah Wright about Obobo’s offering money for the preacher to quit preaching. And speaking. And just go away until after the 2008 elections.
I still don’t understand why McCain refused to go after this connection. I now do not understand why Romney refuses to do the same. I consider this a valid part of the over-all “who is this fella?” that any voter must know in order to make an informed choice.
If someone came up with something outrageous that Romney had heard in temple for 20 years, wouldn’t that be fodder for the MSMachine? I’d want to know.
Video — Wright part starts at 6:20 minutes.
[Wright:] …And he made an offer of money to me not to preach at all between the explosion of the media the first week in march and the November election… a friend…
[agreed with the name of Eric Whitaker]
I was inclined to dismiss Klein’s tabloidesque book at first, but these tapes have given me pause…
McCain-style “Marquess of Queensberry Rules” Redux?
On Thursday afternoon, the Ending Spending Action Fund super-PAC, run by billionaire Chicago Cubs owner [and founder of Ameritrade] Joe Ricketts, put out a statement rejecting the plan to spend $10 million to link Obama and Wright in a “big, attention-arresting way.”
…The proposal by Ricketts’ super-PAC noted the plan would “do exactly what John McCain would not let us do,” according to the Times. Their proposal for the attack campaign includes arguing the president was deceitful in presenting himself as a “metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln.”
…[Romney said] “I repudiate the effort by that PAC to promote an ad strategy of the nature they’ve described. I would like to see this campaign focus on the economy, on getting people back to work, on seeing rising incomes and growing prosperity — particularly for those in the middle class of America,”
…“This morning’s story revealed the appalling lengths to which Republican operatives and super-PACs apparently are willing to go to tear down the President and elect Mitt Romney. The blueprint for a hate-filled, divisive campaign of character assassination speaks for itself,” said Obama campaign manager Jim Messina in a statement.
What else — that we don’t hear about — is considered “off limits?”
Here’s another Klein tidbit — just for fun:
…and this is an Oprah quote, ‘Michelle doesn’t want me in the White House working with her on this anti-obesity campaign because she says she doesn’t like a fat person waddling around the White House.’”

Romney won’t go after Wright because, as with McCain, he doesn’t really want to be President. He is running blocks for the socialists–just looking “republican” enough to not blow his cover. That’s why INDEPENDENT PACs could make the difference. (McNasty tied the hands of PACs last time. I don’t think that will happen this time.) We need to get ovomit out and then, with control of the Senate and the House, bludgeon socialist Romney into going along with the salvation of the Republic.
Local lib talkers Ross and Burbank were talking this up as proof that “a lot of Americans” are racist and conservatives more so if they go after Wright

Going after Wright was a dumb idea in 2008 and is even dumber in 2012. McCain made a lot of mistakes in 2008, but staying clear of Wright was not one of them. Romney will focus on the economy. He will run a smart and competent campaign and win. That will keep the supreme court safe for the next 8 years. The GOP is not going to get a super-majority in the Senate any time soon.
Romney can not step in their ap-cray– what Glen Beck has on him alone is enough to get you down— but of course it’s from Obama’s lips but Glen is the one lying. All we need is for others to pick up on all this and run with it so it becomes the FAD of the day– Fox has a poll of 900 people—-when one post on F/B of Obama and there are 5,000 likes — and over 700 comments– most against him– ‘cept for the usual stupid libs who troll F/B—
The history of America is such an unimaginable exception in human history, it’s chilling to think about it. So much hope, so much of a different direction – it took over 200 years for the sick, suicidal, jealous bastards to do enough damage to really put it at risk.
Unfortunately the bastards have so much control that it’s hard to expose them. But it needs to be done, badly. There is massive corruption in the political machine that needs to be cleaned out, but the “gatekeepers” both legally and in terms of communication are part of the corruption.
It may already be too late. Hopefully Romney’s efforts to stabilize things will give us enough time to shop around for a few testicles to get that effort going.
Just my 2¢ worth but I think Romney is wise to stay away from this and most personal attacks for now.
He already beating him, or tying him, in most polls now. Maintain the high road and point it out when ever he (Romney) can.
Wait to stir up the shit flinging bases until all they can do is eat their own.
Beat these MFCSers while in a fencing stance, yanno appearing to have one arm/hand behind your back. Heads WILL explode, I promise.
