This Wright thing is way overblown

[gravity]

You guys are acting like it is the end of the democratic party. Just chill out.

If this guy becomes a liability, Obama will just denounce and reject his views and move on. It might be played out for a few days, but then media will move on to the next hot story. People will get tired of this and will focus on the next hot media story.

The republicans have so much shadier people in their party, and they always manage to survive similar incidents just fine. This will be blown over as long as Obama handles this a appropriate manner, which I am confident he will do.

What the democrats need to do to win is to not let the republicans scare as. We lose elections because we are so afraid of what the republicans are going to do, we come with calculated answers to everything which makes us look disingenuous, instead of someone who is a real leader that stands up for what they believe. As long as Obama stays true to himself and connects with the average american, this will be a non issue.

Most people are so cynical about politics these days, that they really won't think to much about this Wright scandal. The only ones who will care are strong republicans anyways.

1. Ya think?

:rofl:

2. it's funny ...why is it always "the other guys are much worse" when something comes up?

[sorrybushisfromtexas]

3. overblown remarks

here, here.

You are 100% spot on.

[apocalypsehow]

4. I agree, I don't understand all the hysteria over this story, either. In another week, the media

will be on to the next "scandal" or hooker story.

6. That would be BO superdelegate Kwame Kilpatrick and the dead hooker story.

It's breaking right now.

11. Until October. That's when the 527 ads will saturate the airwaves.

And Obama won't be able to do shit about it then. But, you say, he's already dealt with that issue! It won't matter. The ones who aren't listening now, will be listening then. And they won't be listening to Obama's explanation.

5. Lol. When has the DLC not made a mountain out of a molehill

if they thought it would help their dying grip on the party?

[Flabbergasted]

7. I wonder if the issue will come up in one of the next two debates.

[Scurrilous]

8. It's going to really hurt him during this week's primary.

Oh, wait....

[cottonseed]

9. I agree, but they'll keep Wright blown for as long as it takes.

It's going to be a long hard slog.

[MethuenProgressive]

10. "The United States of KKK"? Is "overblown"?

This? From people who EXPLODED over "shuck and jive"?
Ok... :eyes:

[Mooney]

12. I agree.

I can't wait until the next outrage du jour.

[butterfly77]

13. The republiCONS have been posting heavily lately...

and their plans are working...

[Forkboy]

14. Pretty much everything is overblown in this forum.

If hyperbole were money we'd all be vacationing in Bora Bora right now. :)

[depakid]

15. It was going to be made into an issue

Better to have it out in full force now, rather than hearing about it in the late summer and fall.

[tandem5]

16. What we need to do is just stop talking about it

and that includes these meta/derivative threads. From one piddly blog to another, to the eyes of disembodied, pontificating heads, to the editorial columns they write, to page one and news at 11...

17. Scandals are never overblown, even if they're fabricated
