DAMN this woman for answering this question truthfully!

She should have lied!

Oh wait....

It's interesting that neither McCain nor Huckabee would attack Obama on the Wright thing, but Hillary is now doing it, probably after seeing that Obama is rebounding from it.

Her legacy is not permanently tarnished. I will not vote for her again for any public office and will actively work to make sure she is not re-elected to the Senate in New York.

Maybe she doesn't trust herself not to misspeak.

Clinton happens to be right.
90% of the people defending Obama wouldn't go within 5 miles of that "church."

How can a guy with a Harvard degree, who TAUGHT at Harvard law school make a wanna be rap star, his spiritual advisor? Take his children to worship in this character's church?

He anticipated a career in national politics and didn't understand that Wright would be a potential hazard?

There are no new age, multi racial congregations in all of Chicago? THIS is what our enlightened unifier thinks of as spiritual?

How sooooo human of her.

Lovely. This is how she avoids the talk of padding her Resume. I have a feeling that this is going to backfire on her though. There has been a little too much of her camp stance of "I'm not being negative, I'm just saying he's a dick," and people are starting to see it for the BS that it is. Hence him getting within 10 in PA and leading by 20 in NC. People can tell the genuine from the contrived.

I'm calling through relay because I'm deaf. SIPRelay: Okay. slinkerwink: I read your candidate's interview in the newspaper today but hearing Hillary Clinton attack Obama like that made me mad. How can she do that? It's an attack on my church! I belong to that faith, the united church of christ! SIPRelay: What is the specific article? slinkerwink: I'm mad! I am going to tell everyone I know to vote against Hillary. SIPRelay: I do not know the specific article. slinkerwink: She said she would leave the church if her pastor said stuff she didn't agree with. It's in the richard scaife owned newspaper SIPRelay: So I can't really comment on anything, I don't know which article you're referring to. slinkerwink: this is the same newspaper that attacked hillary Clinton for vince foster back in the 90s. I can't take Hillary Clinton's damaging the Democratic Party anymore.You can forget about my vote in the general election! SIPRelay: OKayl. SIPRelay: xxx Okay. slinkerwink: tell Hillary she needs to drop out NOW. SIPRelay: The thing is the Reverend Wright deal is she really does have a good point. slinkerwink: no, she doesn't. I belong to that faith SIPRelay: If the pastor is racist or anti-American, then having going to that church for more than 20 years slinkerwink: I know the Trinity Church is nothing like that SIPRelay: You should be able to figure out that you should go to another church. slinkerwink: I have friends in Chicago. they go to that church. They're mad as hell about how three minute clips out of 10 years of videotaped sermons are being taken out of context. Your candidate Hillary invited Reverend Wright to the White House SIPRelay: Well, the only thing that we know about the church is what we have heard from the media and other people. slinkerwink: back in 1998 slinkerwink: It was fox news that pushed this, remember? they're the ones that went after the Clintons. so why would you take a video clip edited out of context at its word from fox news? SIPRelay: It was in the 90s and Bill Clinton has meant tens of thousands of people. slinkerwink: why are you repeating right-wing talking points? I used to support bill clinton SIPRelay: There is a lot of situations where he is shaken hands with a million to 2 million people. SIPRelay: It is impossible to know everything about the people that go to the White House. slinkerwink: but I don't support him when he's race-baiting. Oh, please, Wright was invited TWICE to the White House SIPRelay: However these comments were made in June and November of last year not 10 years ago slinkerwink: If he was good enough for the white house back then. if he was good enough to have bill ask him for forgiveness for cheating on hillary....then why are they throwing reverend wright, a man they asked for forgiveness, under the bus? SIPRelay: Hillary and Bill did not go to the church for 10 years. slinkerwink: It's in the new york times article slinkerwink: It's an attack on my faith SIPRelay: It's a completely different story. slinkerwink: IT's an attack on people of fait. no, it's not. You guys are attacking the black church. that's why you're losing african american votes. do you know the damage your candidate is doing to the democratic party? SIPRelay: Well, I really can't comment beyond your opinion. slinkerwink: she might as well become lieberman slinkerwink: Of course you can't. What's your name? SIPRelay: If you fill it was an attack on your faith, and we do apologize for that, because it wasn't meant to be like that SIPRelay: . These comments were made by Reverend Wright. He is known to make comments like this quite often. slinkerwink: It's how people in the United Church of Christ are taking it. SIPRelay: We are stating the facts. slinkerwink: They are taking it as an attack on their faith. slinkerwink: THe facts you cite are based on a grossly misedited sound bite pushed by fox news. slinkerwink: I'm glad you spoke to me. SIPRelay: Well I can't comment on anything beyond that. slinkerwink: I know the truth now and I will publish this relay conversation and share it with my friends in Pittsburgh. thank you for showing your true colors.

Oh look... a shiny object.

I'm no longer concerned about why a prominent politician would lie about her 35 years of experience after getting called out in video form.

Exactly how stupid does she think everyone is?

This is only opening up more problems than their worth because she stayed with a straying husband for how many years?

He without sin may cast the first stone.

She who has dodged 'sniper-fire' must wait awhile..

Hillary: Goodbye, black voters. Hello, closet Klansmen!

Seriously--there's nothing good about Clinton sticking with this. Nothing good. The fact that she is reading stuff indicates just how explosive it is.

On the other hand, those tax returns aren't being discussed any longer, are they?

Or, second thought, maybe Hillary is just going to dismiss all these comments next week by saying "I say millions of words, and I was really tired after all that Easter chocolate I ate"

On the other hand, my guess this is the Clinton campaign's way of goading Obama. Don't take the bait, Obama.

Upon further reflection;

I am not going to be too hard on Hillary Rambo Clinton for this episode of false memory recovery. It may be that she just had a "Senior moment" just like John McCain did about Iran training Al Qaeda. Neither one of them are all that young you know.

What I am really now worried about is that Hillary Rambo Clinton's Tuzla recollection will cause her to suffer from severe attacks of Imaginary Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, which would make her unable to cope with the 3.00AM ringing of her Imaginary Red Phone.

Imaginary Combat can lead to Imaginary long lasting Trauma.

Say some Imaginary Prayers for our Hillary Rambo Clinton the Heroine of Tuzla...., and I will ask Reverend Wright to do the same for her!!!

But her husband would invite the guy to a prayer breakfast to save his butt during Monicagate . . . .

I've seen her read her responses like this before. After 7 years of parsed words, people might be sick of these carefully worded statements. It's her picking at the scab that will make news, not how she rationalizes her response.

Excellent that Hillary is finally attacking Obama directly. There is NO EXCUSE for him attending that Church for 20 years listening to Rev hateamerica hatethe whiteman Wright. Even Oprah left the Church when she heard his hatespeech. Why does this Church still have its tax exempt status when Rev Wright was bashing the Clintons from the pulpit using the N word? You think Obama did not hear of that? If you do I have some swamp land in Florida to sell you.
