Hot Air has the video from the Stephen Colbert Show

Exit question, why would anyone listen to this dingbat?

She will apparently be sticking around, hoping for another Obama screw up, or for the party to decide Michigan and Florida do count, or for Super delegates to come her way. Poor delusional Hillary, she just cannot accept that she was not inevitable after all

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) senior advisers said Friday they are willing to push the nomination fight beyond the last contests on June 3 if neither candidate reaches the delegate requirement that includes Michigan and Florida.

While most analysts have determined that Clinton’s chances are all but nil, Geoff Garin and Howard Wolfson, two of Clinton’s senior advisers, told a group of reporters over breakfast that if frontrunner Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) does not reach 2,209 delegates by June 3, the campaign will continue.

Just one more reason  for Conservatives to buy extra clothespins to put on their noses in November!

Sen. John McCain really does want to tempt the Republican base. …

We’ve gotten our hands on an advanced transcript of this weekend’s “The Chris Matthews Show” on NBC and the British Broadcasting Corporation’s Katty Kay offered this nugget during the show’s “Tell Me Something I Don’t Know” segment:

“John McCain is going to be doing more of these themed tours of America, and one of them is going to be on energy and global climate change. It could get him into trouble with Republicans, of course, and with the base, who don’t think there is much climate change going on, but it is something that he’s very passionate about and he’s going to be talking about it.”

Wow! I know I am stoked!

Heartache for Hillary? Or just Teddy talking thru the booze? You make that call

Obama supporter and Democratic Party royal Ted Kennedy says, “Not so fast…”:

Hmmm, the questionable associations continue to pile up for Obama don’t they?

One of Barack Obama’s Middle East policy advisers disclosed yesterday that he had held meetings with the militant Palestinian group Hamas – prompting the likely Democratic nominee to sever all links with him.

Yes, much Whiter I mean wider

Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed Wednesday to continue her quest for the Democratic nomination, arguing she would be the stronger nominee because she appeals to a wider coalition of voters — including whites who have not supported Barack Obama in recent contests.

Free and Fair elections Jimmy?

He knows many on the right do not trust him, and, to be frank, we have good reasons to doubt him. Now he is going to sell us on judges, judges, and more judges. Yes, he is talking the talk, but will Conservatives trust him to walk the walk?

Seeking to overcome the right’s persistent mistrust, McCain will speak Tuesday on the importance of nominating conservative jurists to the federal courts, including the Supreme Court.

Hot Air has the details so, I refer you to them for the details.

Sen. Barack Obama won the endorsement of the Teamsters earlier this year after privately telling the union he supported ending the strict federal oversight imposed to root out corruption, according to officials from the union and the Obama campaign.

It’s an unusual stance for a presidential candidate. Policy makers have largely treated monitoring of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters as a legal matter left to the Justice Department since an independent review board was set up in 1992 to eliminate mob influence in the union.

Sen. Obama’s rival for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Hillary Clinton, has declined to take a stance on Teamsters oversight. During his eight years in office, President Bill Clinton took no action to end the special board. Democratic presidential nominees in 2000 and 2004 — Al Gore and John Kerry — didn’t address the issue, according to Teamsters officials.

Neither Sen. Obama nor Teamsters President James P. Hoffa has spoken publicly about easing up federal oversight, a top priority for Mr. Hoffa since he became union president in 1999. On the campaign trail, Mr. Hoffa stresses Sen. Obama’s criticism of the North American Free Trade Agreement as the big factor in winning the 1.4-million member union’s support.

Hmmm, now why would the Teamsters be worried about government oversight? HMMMMM

First read about what this idiot asked at a McCain event. Then enjoy as John Gibson thrashes him.

Via Hot Air Kerry does not want the media actually looking into Obama’s shadt connections for goodness sake. He wants the media to revert back to the tried and true. Just carry the Liberal politicians water, ignore character and stuff like that.

BELIEVE IT!

ABC News’ Eloise Harper Reports: At an event in Indiana, Sen. Hillary Clinton got a ballsy introduction by the president of the local steelworkers union who said it’s “going to take an individual with testicular fortitude” to deal with solving the nation’s problems.While Clinton cracked a smile and then burst into laughter behind him, union leader Paul Gibson called for a president who would take a “strong, hard look” at trade and continued,  “I’m tired of these Gucci wearing,  latte-drinking, self-centered egotistical people that have damaged our lifestyle.” He backed Clinton saying “I know the entire executive board has not made a move yet to endorse whoever in this primary, Paul Gibson is going to do it right here tonight, she’s standing right behind me.”

Hmmm, the question has been raised before about Wright’s intentions. Did he come out with his recent grandstanding to derail Obama? Does he feel betrayed? The obligatory unnamed source says yes!

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright would be happy to see Barack Obama’s presidential campaign derailed because the pastor is fuming that his former congregant has “betrayed” their 20-year relationship,

The Post has learned. “After 20 years of loving Barack like he was a member of his own family, for Jeremiah to see Barack saying over and over that he didn’t know about Jeremiah’s views during those years, that he wasn’t familiar with what Jeremiah had said, that he may have missed church on this day or that and didn’t hear what Jeremiah said, this is seen by Jeremiah as nonsense and betrayal,” said the source, who has deep roots in Wright’s Chicago community and is familiar with his thinking on the matter.

“Jeremiah is trying to defend his congregation and the work of his ministry by saying what he is saying now,” the source added.

Barack Obama has defended his relationship with unaspologetic terrorist William Ayers by whining that he was only a child when Ayer’s group did their vile acts.

Well, interesting, John Murtagh was only nine when the Weathermen firebombed his family’s home. This is his recollection.

In February 1970, my father, a New York State Supreme Court justice, was presiding over the trial of the so-called “Panther 21,” members of the Black Panther Party indicted in a plot to bomb New York landmarks and department stores. Early on the morning of February 21, as my family slept, three gasoline-filled firebombs exploded at our home on the northern tip of Manhattan, two at the front door and the third tucked neatly under the gas tank of the family car. (Today, of course, we’d call that a car bomb.) A neighbor heard the first two blasts and, with the remains of a snowman I had built a few days earlier, managed to douse the flames beneath the car. That was an act whose courage I fully appreciated only as an adult, an act that doubtless saved multiple lives that night.

Again, these Democrats forget about video tape. Barack busted!

Not that any thinking person would not realize that in 16 years in a church with such a reverend Barack heard everything he now expresses outrage for.

OH BOY! Where to begin, I was working as most of this went down today. So, let me review by linking you to some of those who were all over this today.

First take a peek at Ace of Spades where you can read how mega-whiner Andrew Sullivan is wetting himself over Obama.

Michelle Malkin live-bogged it and made some great observations.

At Hot Air you can watch of video of the Messiah himself spinning lying through his damned teeth about how well he knew the Racist, Ranting, Reverend, and trying to tell us again that he never heard such comments from Wright in the two decades he has known him.

There is a second video at Hot Air where Obama expresses how upset he is with his Reverend. He also, tries despreately to make us all know how over Wright he is. Yeah Right Barack!

As an exit comment here, please understand that no matter how smoothly Obama SAYS he repudiatesWright’s hate, he was in the man’s church for 20 years! HE KNEW what kind of bottom-feeder Wright was and is. HE KNEW he was a racist pastor of a racist church! HE KNEW, yet he only comes out and demounces Wright AFTER Wright exposes his bigotry for all to see. If Wright had never been outed, Obama would never be making these statements! He is phony! He is a coward! Do not buy this guy’s BS!

Another point worth weighing is why is Wright doing this to Obama? Clearly his coming out party has hurt Obama badly where it hurts most, in the polls! Is Wright trying to screw Obana? Is he just basking in his 15 minutes? Or is Wright trying to help Obama by giving him a reason TO diavow him? Inquiring minds!

It would seem so, as polls show you know who closing in. Perhaps even worse the youthful voters seem to be abandoning Obamamania too.

As bad as that news may be, Obama does not even want to think about Indiana.

Heartache for Barack, and it has Wright painted all over it!

Just a liar that is all. BUT as you persuse the video, take note that Wright makes damn sure to point out that he not only has White friends, but White Jewish friends as well. I guess that is his version of “a lot of my best friends are….”

HMMM, I wonder if his Jewish friends know about his love for Calypso Louie?

Of course, it seems Wright appeals to lots of thugs and racists

Speaking before an audience that included Marion Barry, Cornel West, Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party and Nation of Islam official Jamil Muhammad, Wright praised Louis Farrakhan, defended the view that Zionism is racism, accused the United States of terrorism, repeated his view that the government created the AIDS virus to cause the genocide of racial minorities, stood by other past remarks (”God damn America”) and held himself out as a spokesman for the black church in America.In front of 30 television cameras, Wright’s audience cheered him on as the minister mocked the media and, at one point, did a little victory dance on the podium. It seemed as if Wright, jokingly offering himself as Obama’s vice president, was actually trying to doom Obama; a member of the head table, American Urban Radio’s April Ryan, confirmed that Wright’s security was provided by bodyguards from Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam.Wright suggested that Obama was insincere in distancing himself from his pastor. “He didn’t distance himself,” Wright announced. “He had to distance himself, because he’s a politician, from what the media was saying I had said, which was anti-American.”Explaining further, Wright said friends had written to him and said, “We both know that if Senator Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected.” The minister continued: “Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls.”Racist scumbag!

Hypocrisy, thy name is Hillary!

ABC News’ Eloise Harper Reports: Senator Hillary Clinton knocked Republican presidential contender John McCain and the Republican party for politicizing the issue of Senator Barack Obama’s pastor, Rev. Wright, but tip-toed around her reaction to her Democratic opponent’s handling of the matter.“I have said that that that was a personal decision of his I answered one question about it that made it clear I would not have stayed in that church under those circumstances,” Clinton told reporters in Graham, NC.  “But, I regret the efforts by the Republicans to politicize this matter and I believe that if Senator McCain were serious he would do more than just send a letter he is the putative nominee I think he could very clearly tell the North Carolina party tell the Mississippi party that he would not tolerate those kinds of advertisements and I’m waiting to see if he does that.”

Boy, oh boy! Gergen is really shilling for Wright here. In fairness he urges Wright to go away too. But he is dead wrong about this not being an issue of relevance. Character DOES matter!

Hey! Obama himself said it was OK. So, go for it Senator

Up to now, Mr. McCain had largely avoided talking about the incendiary views of Mr. Wright, saying he wanted to run a “respectful” campaign. He has even called on the North Carolina Republican Party to pull an advertisement that focuses on Mr. Wright.

Make up your mind already!

ABC News’ Tahman Bradley reports: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has admitted, in the past, attending church when Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his former pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, has made controversial comments, but he has never explained what he heard.

Michelle Malkin has the video on her site. I, like Michelle am befuddled by McCain on this issue. He demanded the North Carolina GOP pull its ad on the issue, yet now he says it will be an issue after Obama says he thinks it is a legitimate issue?

This boils down to political strategy folks. McCain is trying to avoid being accused of the “R” word. So he is gambling that if Obama says Rev. Wright is an issue, then McCain will be allowed to bring it up without the accusations of racism from the media and Democrats.

Of course, the media and Democrats will still bring it up no matter what Obama or McCain say about it.

Listen carefully my friends, to the Reverend’s words. And to that look on Bill Moyer’s face too. He looks like he has a man crush on Wright!

Moe, Larry and Curly? Well, no, not THOSE Stooges, THESE Stooges!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Thursday that he may have to push undecided superdelegates to make their decisions in the Democratic presidential race, if the contest stretches into June.
