DUers did you just hear Lawrence O'Donnell

[malaise]

on Abrams saying who invited Rev Wright to speak at the Press Club.

[deminks]

1. I heard it. I don't know what to make of it yet. I need more info. nt

[jasmine621]

23. I believe the invitation was made about a year ago. nt

[rateyes]

2. Yep, I heard it...

Makes you scratch your head, doesn't it? Now, I want someone to tell me how THAT event wasn't a media created news story...and, created by a Hillary supporter at that!!

[NMDemDist2]

9. Thanks!

6. First off I like Wright and I like O. I read something about what

you are refering to - and a reply that was meant to refute as well - i dont know the answer but
I liked Wright on Moyers - should I be thinking that was a set-up too?

[malaise]

11. I loved him on Moyers and at the NAACP

I also liked his answers at the Press Club, but I am not a media hack planning to spin this to a frenzy.

7. And for the others, (sorry I realized there wasn't much info here either)

O'Donnell just said the name of someone on the Hillary campaign that supposedly invited Rev. Wright to the Press Club event yesterday, and the Press Club was a media event created by the campaign.

Did I hear it right? And this is what he said, not what I believe without verification.

[malaise]

12. Yep and he called Barbara Reynolds name n/t

[StClone]

10. No, but I suspect more than coincidence

I think there was in effect a tacit collusion between what and why Wright said what he did and Obama's rapid denunciation of Wright. When on with Bill Moyers, Wright appeared thoughtful and illustrious of his past statements and came off well. His latest statements gave Obama permission to justify a complete severing of their ways -- coincidence that Wright's statement went off the deep end or a planned mission?

13. Larry O'D is still getting airtime?

I am still pissed about what he said about JRE. That is one that I hope I NEVER have to listen to blathering EVER again.

[deminks]

14. I remember that too, and I don't believe what he says anymore until someone else says it too.

[malaise]

15. Good point n/t

[Yael]

17. It was completely off the charts. He needs to be blogging in his mother's basement

not on national teevee. Not after such an unprofessional performance as that one.

[seemslikeadream]

16. Yep and I didn't think I could post this here

22. I did... but you know what? Food shortages across the world

I guess spending ten days OUTSIDE the gulag gets you thinking

And this is what I mean
