Barack Obama's Secret Meetings with Reverend Wright, Hillary Clinton
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyIn the cold light of hindsight, the "Reverend Wright Affair" seems even sillier and more overwrought than it did at the time. An excerpt from then-Newsweek reporter Richard Wolffe's new book, "Renegade: The Making of a President," seems almost dated now. Wolffe describes a clandestine meeting between the two on the eve of Wright's re-emergence at the National Press Club: ...
'Barack's Name Ain't Jesus' and Other Observations By Reverend Wright
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIf you've wondered what ever became of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright--the controversial pastor who was such a fixture on American television screens before and shortly after Barack Obama walked away from Trinity United Church of Christ--wonder no more. Courtesy of FOX News, we have a Wright sighting. And, yes, we also have controversy, sort of:Speaking in a brief interview with The Associated Press before giving a speech at a civil rights landmark, Wright smiled at the mention of the name of the nation's first black president."He's like any other president," Wright said. "He's a politician and ...
Bill Ayers Wants to Get Together With Sarah Palin
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyNo, not in some sick, erect couch potato kind of way.Campaign boogieman William Ayers has kind of a genius idea for himself and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. From CNN:"I did send her a note after the election," he says of Palin in the upcoming issue of the New York Times magazine. "I suggested that we have a talk show together called 'Pallin' Around With Sarah and Bill.'

Actually, there's a good chance that the Bill & Sarah show could hire away some of Barney's writers.I ...
Do Americans Prefer Ayers and Wright to Limbaugh?
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyDo Americans Prefer Ayers and Wright to Limbaugh? That's what Max Blumenthal said at the Daily Beast last week, much to the enduring joy and schadenfreude of the online left. The story made the rounds among the online left, including Media Matters, Alternet, Andrew Sullivan, and even Political Machine, not to mention hundreds of other smaller leftblogs. Daily Beast included it in their morning mass email. It's just exactly the sort of thing a left-blogger loves to hear: not only were Republicans idiots for asking about Ayers, and losers for listening to Limbaugh, but they are lonely outsiders. ...
Target: Michelle Obama
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThe other day I received an e-mail from a 77-year-old female reader who wondered the following:David, What is your concept of Michelle Obama's statement about the first time being proud of America? To me, it seems like she has a dislike of America.This sentiment is currently being manufactured for political gain by the Tennessee Republican Party, who has apparently decided that Michelle Obama is the next Reverend Wright. You see, they've put together a catchy little "ad" that replays the would-be First Lady's sound-bite remark over and over again, interspersed with average white Americans (and ...
