Rev Wright= Howard Dean's scream
both are media inventions that are irrelevant to the candidate, but used over and over again to nullify an actual change in the political structure.

I can't believe more people aren't seeing this.

5. The Dean Scream is overrated
His campaign was going down the toilet before that. He finished third in Iowa, he was running out of money and he was sinking all over the nation. That was before the so-called scream.

12. It was after the Osama ad run by Dems against him.
But don't get me started. In 04 it was whoever took Iowa, and that was it...run the course on down.

It is not that way now because Dean has set it up differently.

His own Dems brought him down in Iowa.

18. Madfloridian is correct here
Dean was gundecked by his own party, the same sons of bitches that want to gundeck Obama.

I was 6 feet away from Dean when he made that speech and the media treatment of him still chaps my ass BAD to this day.

10. Nope. Dean was the one who screamed. Wright is not Obama.
They may do their best, but in the end, all they have are clips of someone who isn't Barack Obama saying things that people know Barack Obama doesn't believe.

17. and?
I suppose you suffer from the "LACK OF A SENSE OF HUMOR" malady that is plaguing the Clinton supporters around here.

21. Huh? Me....lack a sense of humor? I'm for Obama...that
comment was meant to be sarcasm against Wright, though. Wright DID say he wouldn't be asked to be VP in his speech today. Comments like that will hurt Obama, me thinks.

22. I believe the comment about VP
was tongue in cheek, I thought it was said as a joke.

19. wtf?
i came on here this afternoon and everyone's having a collective meltdown.

any other time the reverend wright would be a hero to us progressives. what's being done to him in the media ain't right. what's being done to him HERE in this very gathering place of liberals and progressives is abominable.

look, obama is trying to conduct his campaign with honor and integrity. i may not agree with his ideology or his positions 100%, but i respect his character tremendously. he hasn't thrown anyone under a bus or debased hmself in any way. he's not willing to dump on his friend for the sake of political expediency. that's something to be admired.

i don't agree that this wright thing is comparable to the dean scream. apples and organges. it takes a shitload of integrity for a politician in the running to follow the high road and let the chips fall. perhaps it was some of reverend wright's influence that helped shape obama's exceptional character?

23. That is because there is no comparison- really.
Obama is in a position that makes him a lot less stoppable. He hasn't lost momentum and Hillary Clinton is not an impressive replacement for Senator Kerry.
