I was at a friend's party the other night and was talking to a very nice african american woman who was a big Obama supporter. I told her I was a Hillary supporter but didn't think she had a chance anymore. She told me she used to be a Hillary supporter too until Hillary went negative. Obama, on the other hand has taken the high road and not gone negative in any way. She then talked about Hillary lying about Bosnia and how she is so untrustworthy yada yada yada - exactly the negative stuff the Obama campaign has pushed for months, but then she started saying things I've never heard...
She said that the Clinton's were hypocrits because their spiritual mentor for two years was Reverend Wright! She claimed there is a video on YouTube (I couldn't find it) showing the Clintons sitting in the pews at Rev Wright's church. I asked her if this were true why wouldn't the media report it? Her response: Because the media wants Hillary to win the nomination so she will lose to McCain! So I asked why wouldn't the Obama campaign mention it during the firestorm they experienced over Rev Wright? She said they did but again the pro-hillary/mccain media was not reporting it. "Look at YouTube" she kept saying.
I find this kind of blind acceptance of bullshit disturbing. Is she just one crackpot or has anyone else heard this garbage?
