Who was the first person/entity to twist Rev Wrights' words and get it in the media?
Was it the Hillary campaign? Was it the Repukes hoping it would get Hillary elected so they could win the WH for McCain? Who was the first one of all? Which media? Does anyone know?

1. Sean Hannity has been talking about Rev. Wright for a long time, but...
...it was ABC News going through videos of Rev. Wright for controversial statements which made him into a scandal.

3. True, but obviously someone got Hannity the info.
It's like everything else... for example, Rove getting the press info on Valerie Plame. Same shit was done to Obama. I just want to know who.

2. It was Hannity
and Fox...and also ABC's Brian Ross. But Hannity has been on Obama's church for almost a year now.

6. His words are the words of someone whose people have been victimized from the beginning to now
WTF? Victims are not allowed to be angry? Not when they're not white?
