NY Daily News: Hillary supporter organized Wright event

[NEDem]

"Shortly before he rose to deliver his rambling, angry, sarcastic remarks at the National Press Club Monday, Wright sat next to, and chatted with, Barbara Reynolds," The New York Daily News' Errol Lewis begins Tuesday.

"A former editorial board member at USA Today, she runs something called Reynolds News Services and teaches ministry at the Howard University School of Divinity," he adds. "It also turns out that Reynolds - introduced Monday as a member of the National Press Club "who organized" the event - is an enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter.

6. re-reading the article you are probaly right

it is not written well

"A former editorial board member at USA Today, she runs something called Reynolds News Services and teaches ministry at the Howard University School of Divinity," he adds. "It also turns out that Reynolds - introduced Monday as a member of the National Press Club "who organized" the event - is an enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter.

She just introduced him, but who organized the event, it shitty writing for something that is published, and who is monday?

thanks for the heads up

3. She's a Hillary supporter, and I think she wants to clear the Rev. Wright

from the anger portrayed by the media of him. But I Don't think it is a Obama hit.

9. Not a rumor, fact.

She was introduced as the organizer of the event.
There is a link above to the video.

14. It's not a rumor that a Clinton supporter organized that.

And she's since wiped her website clean of statements of her support for Clinton. Odd. Why would she do that? Hm...

8. how many times today--must be 10 or more that this de-bunked story has been posted

[gabeana]

12. So she wasn't the organizer of the event?

[cui bono]

15. Really? What was debunked?

10. Check out a few of her blog postings

On a blog linked to her Web site- www.reynoldsnews.com- Reynolds said in a February post: "My vote for Hillary in the Maryland primary was my way of saying thank you" to Clinton and her husband for the successes of Bill Clinton's presidency.

The same post criticized Obama's "Audacity of Hope" theme: "Hope by definition is not based on facts," wrote Reynolds. It is an emotional expectation. Things hoped for may or may not come. But help based on experience trumps hope every time."

In another blog entry, Reynolds gives an ever-sharper critique of Obama: "It is a sad testimony that to protect his credentials as a unifier above the fray, the senator is fueling the media characterization that Rev. Dr. Wright is some retiring old uncle in the church basement."

18. Well, so much for

that "faith, hope, and charity" nonsense you hear so much about

Hope by definition is not based on facts," wrote Reynolds. It is an emotional expectation. Things hoped for may or may not come.

The Clinton camp needs to say whether Hillary is repudiating 2,000 years of Christian teaching.

13. This doesn't matter.

Clinton cannot be held responsible for what all her followers do. Someone would need a lot more than this to damn anyone.

16. Oh! I am shocked!

Not.

17. So putting one of Obama's closest confidantes, "a member of Obama's family"...

In front of a camera, and given the opportunity to say whatever he wants, constitutes an unfair hit?

I didn't see it, by all accounts it didn't go over well. But you appear to be basing your premise on the outcome.
