It is a false assertion about what Rev. Wright preaches.

They hid their conspiracy by publishing an open letter.
What about the plot from Ackerman to call any and all critics of obama on the Right, racists, based on ......nothing but a deflection from the real story about obama?

This is not about Wright, it is about the collusion between the MSM (left) and the liberal reporters, journalists and bloggers to suppress/ignore ANYTHING that would damage obama.

I can just imagine the reaction if this were a bunch of conservative journalists.

I'd like to see that.

Do you have actual cases of Ackerman doing it? I'm not familiar with columns he has written. I personally would not be supportive of false accusations of racism.

I reject the premise of your question.

Would you characterize Wright's sermons as race-blind and inclusive?

What was the ramifications on Hannity for his "Stop Hillary Express" and "Stop Obama Express"?

Or for his “Obama & Friends: The History of Radicalism” documentary"?

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/07/us...ics/07fox.html

Mr. Hannity’s executive producer, John Finley, said that the program was clearly opinion and that the audience — on average 1.5 million to 2 million — knew to take it as such. “ ‘Hannity’s America’ is an opinion show — it’s a show from Sean’s perspective, which is obviously conservative,” Mr. Finley said.


Speaking of Mr. Martin, he added, “It’s one man’s opinion, one of many that was expressed on the show.”

Mr. Martin said he was careful not to present his theories about Mr. Obama as proven fact.

“That is my opinion — expert opinion — if you will,” Mr. Martin said of his commentary on Mr. Hannity’s program. “I don’t pretend to be an exclusively fact-based reporter, though I try as hard as I can to get the facts.”
