Comments on: The Right’s Problem With Wright http://commentsfromleftfield.com/2008/03/the-rights-problem-with-wright Loaning brain cells to those in need since 2003 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:05:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Marlowecan http://commentsfromleftfield.com/2008/03/the-rights-problem-with-wright#comment-26436 Marlowecan Tue, 18 Mar 2008 14:44:40 +0000 http://commentsfromleftfield.com/2008/03/the-rights-problem-with-wright#comment-26436 Obvious problem with this argument is that the Democrats and the media invariably link Republican candidates to wacko pastors/groups...no matter how remote the connection. George Bush gave one speech at Bob Jones U. and was never able to live it down. Given that Obama is far, far closer to Wright than McCain to Hagee...there is no downside to nailing the one with the other for the GOP. Of course you want the "whole thing to drop"...but it is too valuable to the GOP to let go. I would point out that it was apparently McCain operatives who were shopping the Wright video about last week...not HRC's.
