Anderson Cooper pimping possible new book and tour from Reverend Wright
Here we freaking go again...

Apparently Wright is finishing up a book and will go on a book tour this fall. Do you think the mainstream media will try to tie Obama to Wright by default?

:sarcasm:

1. I thought this was already debunked.
It was posted here a couple of days ago (maybe yesterday) that Wright's daughter -- and Wright himself -- were questioned about this by a reporter, and both stated that it's not true. No book in the works, and no book tour.

3. No he is pimping the idea as a tease. He's going to report per Roland Martin that it is NOT true. nt
He's hoping for viewers with the tease.

5. He is dutifully planting the seeds for CNN
If you think CNN and others won;t be on this like flies on shit (it's so easy doing old, debunked stories and acting like they are new)...

He is "kryptonite" to Obama.

13. Next best thing, he is in Ghana doing missionary work. I bet he'll be there until late November.

6. Wrights daughter says he's not writing one now
according to Roland Martin <http://essence.typepad.com/news/2008/08/daughter-rev-wr.html>, and if she's correct, we certainly won't be seeing anything coming out by october, or early november for that matter.

9. The funny thing is they speak about the issue in a "third-person" frame
Edited on Wed Aug-13-08 09:33 PM by zulchzulu
What a joke. They ask "will the media give credit to Corsi and his book?" They ask "will reporters talk about this issue?" as they ask the question...

It's like a bank robber talking in third person about how a robber is robbing a bank AS he robs the bank...

:puke:

8. Just another excuse to play the Wright video. "But is it true?" NO. But they will bring it
up anyway. :eyes:

10. Is this debunking the debunking?

15. It's a story about a story where there may be no story...but those Wright videos sure are fun!
Nothing about debunking or about how Obama has cut his relationship with Wright.

It was bunk.

:hi:

11. How the story starts...
It opens with Wright yelling about 911 and the chickens coming home to roost. Cooper then says "wow, that's a blast from the past"...

NO SHIT, ANDERSON!

Then the interview goes to a two-shot with Wright videos from yesteryear. Is he putting out a book? Isn't he? Will he do a tour in October?

Whatever... the point and mission was made. Wright may or may not be coming out with a book and tour. That's FUCKING NEWS?

14. haha...did Anderson really say "Wow, that's a blast from the past"?
I can believe he did, he's such a doofus.


And they always make a point to show the random clip of Wright "raising the roof" or whatever...

16. He actually did...
Then the story became a story about it perhaps being a non-story since Wright's daughter claims her father is not writing a book... so where did the story get vetted?

What people saw were Wright videos...again.

17. So people had to choose whether to watch the Olympics or Rev. Wright reruns?
Hard decision, I'd say. :eyes:

12. Wright is doing mission work in Ghana (probably at the request of the Obama campaign), so a book
tour is highly unlikely.
