RE: "Throwing Rev. Wright Under the Bus" - A suggestion for the Clinton camp
You Clinton supporters should diversify your sloganeering. At your next morning meeting with your neocon enablers, forgo the decaf and work! The "throw Wright under a bus" slogan has, in the span of one day, been used probably about as many times as the name "Obama" itself. Waaaay too transparent for us savvy internet types. Next time, try to come up with at least three slogans - I know it's hard trying to mask the racism and make fear a sellable product, but I know if you put your heads together, you can do it!

3. Wright's a bad guy and Obama should cut him off.
Until, of course, Obama does cut him off, at which point the former Scary Black Dude becomes a great patriot, crushed under the wheels of the Obama machine.

It's enough to make ya snap your own neck, I tell ya.

5. The Clinton supporters on this board will attack Obama no matter what he does.
It really doesn't matter.

6. If he threw him under the bus, it's because he was run OVER with it first.

It's almost like, people shouldn't change what they think as a result of the actions of others, He can't disown him as his spiritual mentor, it's history and a part of his life. He CAN repudiate the COMMENTS that wright CONTINUES to make. At least in my own life, I can forgive a few bad statements, but when it crosses a certain (albeit unquantified threshold) then a decision must be made, obama made his, and everyone has their own point, agree with it or disagree with it but it's there.

7. Well dude
How about these slogans

1. Don't ask me what he believes, I'm just support him.

2. Subtances? what's that some form of a new racist word?

3. Record? What's that are you trying to be racist?

4. We don't need big blue Democratic states we do just fine in those Republican states.

5. Are you racist? because I don't like you asking me to list the things he has done.

6. We Obama supporters we deal with feelings, facts make our heads hurt.

7. George McGovern, who's that?

8. truth about Obama:I don't want to hear it la la la.

9. Making shit up that's what Obama supporters do.

8. Yes, and getting to "the truth about Obama" is what screaming "scary black preacher" at SDs is
all about, right? That is why Hillary is pushing it to superdelegates, right, because it's such an important topic?
