Conspiracy Theory

Tecumseh said...: Steve Sailer is good -- had not seen this guy before.

But, word didn't much get out. The whole Wright story pretty much got shoved down the media memory hole as too hot to handle in these sensitive times.

So, Wright posted on the web a long open letter to the NYT denouncing the NYT for, well, for quoting him correctly.

That didn't make much of a ripple either, so then the Wrights went back to the Farrakhan Well again by giving him their grand prize at a big bash at the Chicago Hyatt Regency on November 2, 2007. Two days later they posted their video tribute to Farrakhan on Youtube.

The media still wouldn't touch that either for two months, but eventually it came out and Wright is now getting the attention he feels he deserves.

If this story gets buried again, Wright is going to keep pulling stunts like this.

This from January! And, don't forget, those clips that ABC & Fox used were from DVDs on sale at Wright's church. He's making an honest buck in the process, too. Damn it!; 3/21/2008 6:38 PM
Mr roT said...: It's weird, I'll agree, this media silence. But Obama should have cleaned this mess up a long time ago. I think it's fatal so I am happy he didn't.; 3/21/2008 8:38 PM
Mr roT said...: BTW, I disagree that Sailer is any good. It's not because these are sensitive times that the media buried this stuff. It's because they wanted to protect their boy. Now that the cat's out, they can't keep quiet anymore and so go with the story.; 3/21/2008 8:39 PM
Tecumseh said...: Well OK about Sailer -- I need to read more from him to really say he's good, but the conspiracy theory he came up with is not bad, far as such theories go. The silence of the MSM ("law of omerta" I called at some point, totally confusing Pepe) is a given in such a situation: they are >90% in Obama's pocket. They would do that pretty much with anyone the Dems put up (they've done it since the Dodo bird was roaming the prairie), but still, to a bigger, more intense degree than ever before, yes?; 3/21/2008 8:52 PM
Tecumseh said...: And here is how Obama is gonna shake Wright, and come out smelling like roses. McCain will be tongue-tied (see PMcC series). End of story. Plausible scenario?; 3/21/2008 11:42 PM
Tecumseh said...: Steyn on the montambanco.; 3/22/2008 9:34 AM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Steyn hits it exactly.
That McCain would choose to punish those who speak like Steyn, rather than give Wright a free pass, is one of an ever growing list of reasons to wonder what has happened to McCain in his long DC sojourn.; 3/22/2008 1:32 PM
Mr roT said...: Maybe he's decided he wants to win the election, you dope. It is obvious that you shut the hell up when your opponent is twisting 'round slow on a spit. Anything McCain says right now would distract from the circus that's shitting on Obama's campaign.

Why don't you armchair James Carvilles fucking suggest something McCain should say instead of whining that he's not saying anything.

In fact, he need no say anything because everyone else is saying it for him.

In fact he's letting Steyn say he's too good a guy, keeping the high road from being Obama's exclusive province.

Hillary and Bill in the garbageheaps, McCain and Obama fighting a clean fight, and Obama fighting off a megalomaniac racist preacher from his past.

This is a good situation. McCain doesn't need a Souljah moment.

That's for democrats moving to the center, not Republicans. Republicans moving to the center repudiate shit like Limbaugh and Falwell.

You guys don't know a fuck.; 3/22/2008 1:40 PM
Mr roT said...: Funny, AA, I didn't see any reference to McCain's disavowals of his overwrought cheerleaders in Steyn's speech.

Should I reread or chalk it up to your meds being expired?; 3/22/2008 1:48 PM
Tecumseh said...: Hey, JJ, don't get excited! It's just politics, after all. But there's ways and ways to play this game, and your boy is just not very good at it, that's all. Why not admit that, and take it from there, trying to help him out in a constructive manner, instead of dissing on more-or-less like-minded people who (rightly) criticize him? That would not be so important -- more importantly, McCain does exactly the same thing (who imitates whom, I don't know). And that's worrisome.; 3/22/2008 2:40 PM

What's funny is that you should think that Steyn's speech should have been referencing McCain's disavowals. Note What I said:

[1] Steyn hits it exactly.

[2] That McCain would choose to punish those who speak like Steyn, rather than give Wright a free pass, is one of an ever growing list of reasons to wonder what has happened to McCain in his long DC sojourn.

You will note that [2] lambasts McCain's decision to "punish those who speak like Steyn". It does not suggest that Steyn spoke about McCain's decision.
All I said about Steyn's article was that he "hit it exactly right"

C'mon, guy, you in trainin' for Obama's speechifier?; 3/22/2008 6:22 PM
