Is the Rendell/Farrakahn love-fest being reported by Cable News at all?

[FrenchieCat]

Just wondering, if any Greatest hit on the Rendell tapes were being played at all in the media, in reference to his endorsement of Minister Farrakhan? (I'm trying not to watch, cause I can't stand none of 'em.

Seem like it would be "BREAKING NEWS" or something...if for no other reason but to illustrate the hypocrisy of Clinton "demanding" that Obama denounce the "non-ties via his pastor" that he had to Farrakhan.

If this is not being reported, why isn't it? http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0408/Rendell_and_Farrakhan.html#comments

1. Why would they? Hillary/Rendell are white.

This only matters if you happen to be black.

:mad:

[BklynChick]

5. yea, they only insist that you pass the anti-farrakhan test if you are black.

[FrenchieCat]

7. But isn't that Blatant omission?

What would be the rational that this doesn't mean anything? Really strange to me. Ed Rendell has been all over the place saying that Pennsylvanians won't vote for a Black man, etc....

[Pawel K]

8. Rational?

Bringing this up in the first place wasn't very rational on their part. But this is the media we are dealing with, they haven't been rational ever since I started watching them.

I hope I'm wrong in this particular case, but I doubt it.

9. age?!?! seriously, I don't think the msm thinks they need a rationale, there is so much blatant

racism they just gloss over it wouldn't surprise me, although the timing and hypocrisy is just stunning. btw, when Rendell said that about the voters in his state, I felt like it was more of a letting them off the hook than an explanation of who they are. Now that their beloved governor said they wouldn't vote for a black man, well then why should they?

[FrenchieCat]

2. Guess not!

right?

3. Watching MSNBC, nothing yet. But the Media wants this fight to continue...

They'll save it for the GE if she were to make there. All they keep saying is "Negative ads, negative ads...."

4. I emailed the story to CNN tips but the more people who do the better

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. you could send it to the cable news

[redqueen]

10. Oh yeah right like that compares to FINGERGATE!

They only report on things that matter... showing Hillary's hypocritical nature... well nobody is interested in that.

11. "And so this is a legitimate area, as everything is when we run for office,

for people to be exploring and trying to find answers."

- HRC- ABC debate

[FrenchieCat]

13. Except for if it has anything to do with Hillary, obviously.

I went to politico's story to "digg" it. http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0408/Rendell_and_Farrakhan.html#comments

[chill_wind]

22. Exactly. Wonder if she'll still be demanding that Indiana debate? n/t

[Bensthename]

12. MSM is too scared that may push Obama over the winning edge

[FrenchieCat]

14. Well, I don't believe that it is their job to make that determination.....

[Bensthename]

16. Me neither.. But their antics make me think they like the ratings having this ongoing.

[Unsane]

15. No. Obama face-scratching is more important.

[Aloha Spirit]

17. Obama scratching his face is like the butterfly who starts the hurricane.

[Cant trust em]

18. What's good for the gander is apparently not good for the goose. NT

[BlooInBloo]

19. (1) Because Rendell isn't a scary black man...

... and (2) The media is only Clinton-republicans' side.

[FrenchieCat]

20. Shouldn't we be sending this to the media? To let them know that we know?

I mean, at least, we should let them know that the Internets are waiting.

Guess they'll wait till next Sunday? :shrug:

[hfojvt]

21. I hope not

Do we really want to see a Democratic Governor smeared just to help take Hillary down? Obama may need Rendell to help him carry Pennsylvania in the fall.

[FrenchieCat]

23. How is this "smearing"?

Could you elaborate.

Thanks.

[GoldieAZ49]

24. Is Rendell running for POTUS now too?

:rofl:

[FrenchieCat]

25. Not anymore than Wright......

Didn't stop Hillary from "DEMANDING" that Obama denounce and renounce Farrakhan. Remember?

[GoldieAZ49]

26. she did him a favor

they haven't cover O attending the million man march yet either.

but you could press them to do so!

[FrenchieCat]

27. And it should be returned in kind........

They didn't cover Hillary's Million Mom March against guns either.

[FrenchieCat]

28. Looks like a love Fest for Hillary by the Corporate media today.....

on the eve of the election.

Wonder why?
