Washingtom Compost column paints Jrremiah Wright as the new Willie Horton
Oh good grief! Here comes the media, riding to Obama’s rescue
Wright’s rise to national prominence is not his work alone; he’s received plenty of help along the way.
Obama’s opponents in the media have done their best to make Jeremiah Wright a household name. And before this contest is over, Wright is going to be Willie Hortonized — that is, converted into an ever-present threat to white America.
By October, if Hillary Clinton’s Democratic rival is still in the race, look for a campaign ad with a menacing mug shot of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright holding a bomb and standing next to a smiling Barack Obama.
It’s come to this.
Yep! It has come to a Washington Compost columnist dismissing the importance of character and judgement.
The cold, hard fact is this. Wright is a racist, and Obama had a 20-year relationship with him. In fact Obama ONLY distanced himself from Wright after Wright came out of his bigot closet and exposed himself for America to see.
That may not count for much to some, but to many of us, it paints Obama as either a closet racist himself, or too much of a coward to do the right thing BEFORE it was front-page news!
