Reuters says that MoveOn.org had a Fox Boycott campaign.

If you don't have Long Term Care insurance yet, Ben, you need to buy it now, before you are diagnosed. This was a HUGE issue only a few months ago, and you have forgotten already!

		<description>BJ
It is a victory, a BIG victory, for conservatives, that Obama and the Clintons are talking to Fox News at all!

I can remember when the MoveOn.NUTS would not let your candidates talk to Fox.

Now, Fox has not changed, and ---

YOUR candidates HAVE CHANGED THEIR MINDS!</description>

		<description>FIRST question from Billo to Senator Clinton was about pastor Wright.

   Senator Clinton spent less than 2 minutes on it. And she was very fair.

   She then put Billo on his heels with every question he threw at her!</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Obama Is Throwing Wright Under the Bus&lt;/b&gt;
April 30, 2008 02:09 PM ET &#124; Michael Barone


or

&lt;b&gt;Who else will Obama have to throw under the Bus?  His PLO connections?&lt;/b&gt;

On Monday, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright spoke at the National Press Club in Washington, with nationwide reverberations. On Tuesday, Barack Obama denounced Wright and his statements. Judging from the talk I've been hearing from Democratic insiders since Wright's Monday speech, Obama did what he had to do. But the problem remains. Obama has now taken two positions on Wright. March 13: No, I cannot disown him. April 29: Yes, I can. Left still unanswered is the question: How can the man we heard deliver that speech in July 2004 about what unites us—in which his strongest line was "in the blue states we worship an awesome God"—how could that Barack Obama have attended the church of that Rev. Jeremiah Wright for 20 years? And not just attended: He and his wife contributed more than $20,000 to the church. It just doesn't add up. It undercuts Obama's very appealing theme of bridging divisions in our society.

&lt;b&gt;In 2000, Al Gore won 67 percent of the vote in Broward County and 62 percent in Palm Beach County—both have large Jewish populations. In this year's Florida primary, Obama lost those counties to Clinton by 57 percent to 33 percent and 61 percent to 27 percent. No Democrat can carry Florida without big margins in Broward and Palm Beach.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Note:  Obama's connection to known terrorists funders like  Rashid Khalidi, critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights and Obama's friend, will kill his chance for the Presidency.  Obama has sided with the PLO and against Israel, that's a three strike law in Florida.&lt;/i&gt;

Obvious lesson: No Democrat can carry Florida without large popular-vote margins in Broward and Palm Beach counties. Or even come close. There's just no other county in Florida where a Democrat can win by anything like such a large margin. And without overwhelming support from Jewish voters, no Democrat can win big popular-vote margins in Broward and Palm Beach.

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Obama and his terrorist connections&lt;/b&gt;

Khalidi has been accused of having ties to the Palestinian Liberation Organization, based on his work for Wafa in the late 1980s. Khalidi has been accused of being “a director of the Palestinian press agency,” publishing an "adulatory book" on the PLO in which he personally thanked Yasser Arafat,[16] and acting as an advisor to the Palestinian delegation during peace negotiations.

A reported friendship between Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and Khalidi's family when Khalidi taught at the University of Chicago. Articles by Aaron Klein and John Bachelor, writers respectively for conservative outlets World Net Daily and Human Events, were referenced by rival political campaigns and reprinted in wider-circulation media.

In Chicago in 1995, Mr. Khalidi and his wife Mona founded the Arab American Action Network (AAAN), a group associated with confrontational statements of support for Palestinians and antagonism toward Israel.  In 2001 and again in 2002, the Woods Fund of Chicago, with directors Ayers and Obama, made grants of $40,000 and $35,000 to the AAAN. Importantly, the AAAN vice-president Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada has remembered Mr. Obama's speaking in 1999 against "Israeli occupation" at a charity event for a West Bank refugee camp; and Mr. Abunimah, an American citizen, Hyde Park resident and Princeton graduate, has also recalled Mr. and Mrs. Obama at a fundraiser held for the then-Congressional candidate Obama in 2000 at Rashid and Mona Khalidi's home, where Mr. Obama made convincing statements in support of the Palestinian cause.

There is also a report that Mr. Obama attended a farewell dinner for Professor Khalidi on the latter's appointment to Columbia University and move to New York, at which Mr.

Obama socialized with the Khalidis as well as with Edward Saïd, and at which Mr. Obama left a polite testimonial, as did Mayor Daley and Governor Blagojevich. 

It is necessary to consider, in light of Mr. Obama's politically rich relationship with Mr. Khalidi and his colleagues, that Palestinian sources in Ramallah confirm, for Aaron

Klein of WorldNetDaily.com and my radio shows on WABC and KFI, that Rashid Khalidi was a paycheck-receiving PLO agent when it was formally named as a terrorist organization.  In Beirut from 1976 to 1982, Mr. Khalidi headed the Palestinian press  agency WAFA, for which his wife Mona Khalidi also worked.  Mr. Khalidi also served Yasser Arafat's PLO at the Madrid conference in 1991.  Mr. and Mrs. Khalidi have yet to comment on their reported political, financial and programmatic association with Mr. Obama in Chicago; as recently as last week neither of the Khalidis would speak on the telephone when asked about Mr. Obama, Mr. Rezko or Mr. Auchi.(Batchelor)

Importantly, the AAAN vice-president Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada has remembered Mr. Obama&#8217;s speaking in 1999 against &#8220;Israeli occupation&#8221; at a charity event for a West Bank refugee camp; and Mr. Abunimah, an American citizen, Hyde Park resident and Princeton graduate, has also recalled Mr. and Mrs. Obama at a fundraiser held for the then-Congressional candidate Obama in 2000 at Rashid and Mona Khalidi&#8217;s home, where Mr. Obama made convincing statements in support of the Palestinian cause.</p>
<p>There is also a report that Mr. Obama attended a farewell dinner for Professor Khalidi on the latter&#8217;s appointment to Columbia University and move to New York, at which Mr.</p>
<p>Obama socialized with the Khalidis as well as with Edward Saïd, and at which Mr. Obama left a polite testimonial, as did Mayor Daley and Governor Blagojevich. </p>
<p>It is necessary to consider, in light of Mr. Obama&#8217;s politically rich relationship with Mr. Khalidi and his colleagues, that Palestinian sources in Ramallah confirm, for Aaron</p>
<p>Klein of WorldNetDaily.com and my radio shows on WABC and KFI, that Rashid Khalidi was a paycheck-receiving PLO agent when it was formally named as a terrorist organization.  In Beirut from 1976 to 1982, Mr. Khalidi headed the Palestinian press  agency WAFA, for which his wife Mona Khalidi also worked.  Mr. Khalidi also served Yasser Arafat&#8217;s PLO at the Madrid conference in 1991.  Mr. and Mrs. Khalidi have yet to comment on their reported political, financial and programmatic association with Mr. Obama in Chicago; as recently as last week neither of the Khalidis would speak on the telephone when asked about Mr. Obama, Mr. Rezko or Mr. Auchi.(Batchelor)<br />

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Obama linked to funding Terrorists&lt;/b&gt;

A top official at the Pentagon during former-President George H. W. Bush’s Administration and a former CIA intelligence officer maintain that Barack Obama and former Weather Underground honcho William Ayers funneled money to Professor Rashid Khalidi, a known terrorist sympathizer.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;  Never mind the fact that Obama’s denunciation of Wright’s remarks has been very consistent with the message that Obama has been saying all along. 

Agree or disagree with that message, this &lt;i&gt; does &lt;/i&gt; seem to be the one point that gets lost in the sauce.</description>

		<description>I have said it before, after watching the extended version of the sermons, what Wright said was not that extreme or out of line. Put in context it was no more then the majority of preachers have been saying.

“God damn America!” unless it changes its ways! ( it seems people do not see that tail)
“The Chickens have come home to roost” an example of what many were saying as to the cause of 9-11.
But the Wright went on to say that we should be turning to God in such situations.

I have not actually seen or read exactly where the Aids comment or the US of KKKA comes from.
But would not be surprised after watching the other two’s sources to find they too would have been in context. As to the Aids though, if he was speaking metaphorically he is correct! Aids in the beginning was a Gay and minority illness. There for it was not of a concern to the establishment as a whole... The Government did not give a damn!  In that since it was not doing anything about it is was in effect using it. 
The “scrooge ideology”... Ridding of the surplus population, hate Gays do nothing about Aids! Hate Blacks do nothing about Aids! 

The Nazi Doctor Jose Magalia experiments on the Jews though he discovered many breakthroughs. It was said that because his discoveries and breakthrough were the results of such amoral and inhuman processes. They would not be used and were locked away or destroyed.
Yet Tuskegee was just as amoral and inhuman, so how much further would it be to think that Aids was at the least could have been used with intent. 

Now I do agree that Wright is a walking nightmare for the Obama campaign, up to the press club Wright was doing what he was entitled to do. Defend himself , his church and people. He had been wronged and only through Political eyes could that not be seen. But he had also painted himself into a corner, the same corner that Fox Locally painted himself into and nationally Roberts and the like have. When you wrap your personal agenda in the cloak of the Lord’s word. You can not back down and say you were wrong, because that would be saying that God was wrong. All you can do it make it worst!</description>

		<description>Those who think that Obama abandoned his principles in the latest thing he said about Wright missed the most important dynamic in what Wright has been saying in his media blitz tour. Namely, he said that Obama's denunciation of his REMARKS were simple politics. Never mind the fact that Obama's denunciation of Wright's remarks has been very consistent with the message that Obama has been saying all along. 

Wright got personal to defend &lt;i&gt;himself&lt;/i&gt;. Wright basically backhanded Obama, and Obama responded in kind.</description>

		<description>"Monkeyhawk"

Man up a little.  If you want to know about the spiritual mentors of the other major candidates go do a little research.

Perhaps you will fulfill the dream of the anti-religious lefties and show how all pastors are nutjobs. . . Or perhaps you will find a more likely truth in that Wright is a far-left racist nutjob.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; We are so dumb. This had to be a setup. It would make total sense to me that Obama would go to Wright and tell him to say something so outrageous that he’d have to distance himself from him. &lt;/i&gt;

Pmom, if we are speak of people being dumb, I regard the Clinton/McCain collusion accusations as being implausible but certainly not &lt;i&gt; entirely &lt;/i&gt; impossible.

I regard your hunch in exactly the same way.

They're both dumb.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;But Obama’s political opponents won’t be so willing to cut those ties.&lt;/i&gt;

Just read through the above posts for proof of that.

If that's all ya got, guys, ya ain't got much.  But, please, keep repeating it.  You only hurt yourself...and your party.</description>
