Wright Stuff

One of the more interesting of the 312 articles I saw today on Rev. Wright was this one by Cliff Kincaid of AIM, who traces Rev. Wright's inflammatory claim of a government program to use AIDS against black people to a crank author, forged documents, and a report by Dan Rather.

Other Wright stuff that's worth a look would include roundups by Tom Maguire and Instapundit, and opinion columns by George Will, Jonah Goldberg, James Lewis, Dennis Prager , and Dean Barnett.

Hot Air has video of Obama's second attempt at distancing himself from the Reverend...plus numerous updates. That this press conference by Obama was widely predicted and said to be absolutely necessary for the candidate makes it somewhat less effective as a damage-control device. Obama's contention that the Reverend Wright we saw yesterday was not the same man he listened to in the pulpit for 20 years is unconvincing to me, although his denunciation of Wright was more clear this time around. It had to be.
