Subject: who ORCHESTRATED the well-timed Wright-wing attack on Obama?!

The Wright-wing attack on Obama's campaign has been executed with a
precision that must make Karl Rove downright envious!  (If he did NOT
coordinate it.)

A well-structured national publicity campaign like the anti-Obama
project that is so-effectively utilizing Wright is NOT suddenly
created by random whim.  Think about it:

1.  What does it take to get someone booked for a highly-desirable,
much-sought, hard-to-get, nationally-aired Bill Moyers interview?

2.  What sort of organizational contacts and advance planning does it
take to get scheduled as the lead speaker at an NAACP convention
attended by 2,000  people?

3.  How much media clout does it take to get multiple members of the
media (at least the two Wright called by name from CNN) to join a
publicity-seeker on a flight to Washington DC?

3.  How much lead-time and contacts are required to get someone
booked as a speaker before the National Press Club in Washington DC?
Did the organizers simply rent the Press Club room, or was it
sponsored by the Press Club?

4.  How much more coordination is needed to line-up a cadre of
enthusiastic Ahmen-shouting supporters to attend that Press Club
talk, where seating is always limited?

5.  Even more important - who has the connections and clout to make
ALL of that happen within three days of each other?!  And so
carefully for crucial state primaries?

6.  And finally, who can FINANCE such nontrivial coordination, book
multiple flights, hotels, etc., for the mouthpiece AND his press
entourage, AND line-up his cheering section that we heard at the
Press Club?


Is a retired minister for a black church in Chicago likely to have
all those connections, spare cash, and clout - to organize all of
that into a 3-day sequence timed for crucial primaries?  NOT likely!

So ... who has the most to gain AND has exactly that kind of cash,
contacts and organizational expertise?


The press should find out, and tell us who orchestrated it:
1.  Ask Moyers' producers how and when the initial contacts were made.
2.  Ask the NAACP organizing committee the same questions.
3.  Ask the National Press Club's management who did what, when.

We, the People, NEED to be more than uninformed sheep to be herded.
We need to know TIMELY details about exactly who is orchestrating our
"news" ... and our lives!  (Ask all of YOUR favorite media contacts.)
