Sean Hannity, the right wing propagandist mouth piece, a loathsome and evil fellow, worked hard to launch Jeremiah Wright as Obama's version of the swift boat attack scheme.
It's quite clear what the overall strategy of the Jeremiah Wright plot is all about. Having observed that Barack Obama is a formidable candidate on the brink of demolishing the vaunted Clinton political machine, the right wing republican operatives have kicked off vicious personal attacks against Obama in order to weaken and destroy him.
Guilt by association is the obvious tactics being employed by the right wing and neo-con operatives. The idea is to invoke racial hatred and incite the anger of the fragile independent white voters to turn against Obama the black candidate.
Choosing Jeremiah Wright as the bait for the hate Obama campaign is a grievious mistake because Jeremiah Wright is a brilliant, fearless and combative preacher with a mission to remain the conscience of America that keeps on ticking.
Jeremiah Wright is being demonized for telling the truth about the ills of American foreign and domestic policies that have brought great harm to the country. The future security and economic prosperity of America is in serious danger if things don't change in the positive direction.
Attacking Jeremiah Wright to get to Obama will backfire. The reverend Wright will not be silenced. He will continue to tell the bitter truth that will continue to prick the conscience of a nation entrapped by ignorance and apathy and lead by a bunch of reckless, mindless and corrupt politicians.
The Obama campaign is worried sick and wish that the reverend Wright disappears into dark matter. This is wrong thinking. That's what the right wing republicans want. They want to be able to spin the issue without contest and force Obama to be on the defensive.
The best way to counter the republican onslaught is to go on a full scale counter offensive. Turn the reverend loose and let him keep delivering his message to the people. The republicans don’t want the reality of their failed policy to be pronounced so vigorously as only the reverend can.
What the Obama camp can't do is to play weak on any game the opponents present. Obama is in a position of strength and he should drive his adversaries into the earth. Don't dump the reverend. Let truth reign

Barack Obama, it's OK to be in Indiana not Memphis
My dear friend Cornel West, I can appreciate your disapproval of Barack Obama's absence at the MLK's event in Memphis but I emphatically disagree with you because your position as noble as it may sound is pathetically wrong.
To rebuke Obama for not making a symbolic visit to Memphis is to ignore the enormous responsibility he has for successfully conducting his campaign for the most important political office in the land, the president of the United States. Is there any priority greater than that at this time for Obama?
As hard as Obama has tried to convince people that he isn't doing things the same old way, some folks like you my friend still don't get it. Obama is hunting for an elephant and can't afford to stop and throw stones at small animals. This is an old African adage and you sir Cornel West may want to add this to your wisdom pouch. It's important to note that my comment by no means diminishes the
Dr King is now a living legend and his memory will be celebrated every year for as long as America exists but Obama has just one shot at the opportunity of being elected president. I'm sure Dr King would approve of his judgment of tending to the important business of being in Indiana and not be distracted by the opportunistic display of reference.
I will not disparage Hillary Clinton and John McCain for being in Memphis to honor Dr King. They are doing what is politically expedient for them. It's worthy of note that John McCain voted against the King Holiday. I commend him for his apology for finally seeing the light. He needed to cleanse his soul and that's acceptable.
Hillary Clinton needed to be in Memphis to salvage the damage her campaign has inflicted upon black race relations. Thanks to Bill and Carville for employing cut throat win at all cost tactics?
My words of wisdom to all black leaders elected or not, intellectuals and clergies alike are to refrain from misguided criticism of Barack Obama and to stop acting in ways that would destroy his chances of being elected president. If these leaders can't help, they should get out of the way.
The thing that is encouraging though is that the black populace is wise to something. They have realized the short comings of their black leadership and are now signing on to the new vision and hope presented by Barack Obama.
