By the way, I got this story here:

Sneaky. If roles reversed and it were BO, this question would already be in the media coverage, whether the campaign had a hand in it or not. Without rules she hasnt done much to earn the benefit of the doubt, so I offer she may well have been involved.

But its a double standard. If she were involved, it would be consistent with the wreckage she has made, and the voters accepted, to date. Will we ever have a line where we fight back, and say no more?

So now, Hillary is in league with Rev. Wright to destroy Obama? Like i've said I am sure she was on the grassy knoll as well. Maybe even in Fords Theatre.....who knows!

Prove the accusation wrong and I'll apoligize.

In the world of the fanatical, everything bad that happens is the enemy's fault. There's no such thing as coincidence. People don't have independent agendas-- they are all puppets of the evil one, who controls everything from behind the scenes with uncanny prescience. In the instance at hand, simple questions such as why Wright went on Bill Moyers and why Wright spoke at the NAACP don't enter into the equation. Could it be that Wright, of his own volition as a free human being in a free country was looking for as many platforms as possible to trumpet his beliefs? But to the fanatical his agenda, his will don't matter. To understand the world you start with the premise that it's all Hillary's fault and work backwards from there.

After reading this looks like the loonies are out. Hillary and Wright sure after Obama went to his church for 20 years. There's no advantage for Wright to have Hillary win. If you keep making up stories like this you'll continue to turn Hillary and other supporters who are potential Obama ones off.

It was the Clinton campaign that poisoned the well!

OMG...this was posted at DK and the author wasn't laughed off the site or banned for nutso conspiracy theory? Because this is hands down crazy leaping non-logic. There's not even anything there. Embarrassed to be an Obama supporter with this crap floating around.

I totally believe it - in fact, the person at the press conference yesterday wasn't even Wright, it was Hillary in a clever disguise. Ask yourself this, why have you never seen Hillary and Hitler in the same room? Or Hillary and Pol Pot, for that matter? This needs to be explored by someone who doesn't have any fillings in their molars, which Hillary uses to monitor subversive thoughts.

I can't help but wonder what Hillary supporters would think of Hillary if it were proven to be true that she or her campaign were behind this.

Would they denounce AND reject her? Probably not...

Politico has picked up on the story with some additional information. Personally, I think it's improbable that the Clinton campaign was directly involved in this, but I think it says something about the way that she has run her campaign that people are so willing to believe that she's capable of such a stunt.

Yes, this is all true. She borrowed Penguin's hypnotizing umbrella and was at the back of the room twirling it at Wright - "must say stupid shit, must say stupid shit, must say stupid shit..."

Well, lets see. A Clinton supporter, who happens to be a member in good standing of the press, happened to talk to Reverend Wright at the Press Luncheon.

Yeah, I guess that is all we need to look for a conspiracy! Quick, pass the smelling salts!

Is this true? Why should I bother to investigate? Why should I employ an ounce of my valuable critical faculties? I need to save them all for nailing Greg Sargent, Fox, and the MSM conspiracy!

I know. I'll post it. The truth will be confirmed by recommendations from all the brilliant critical readers at TPM, who would never let raging passion interfere with good sense. Or vice-versa.

What if it is true? My God if it is, Hillary Clinton should be ran[sic] off her campaign and imprisoned in an Austrian basement for 24 years with the very Reverend Wright. IMMEDIATELY!

She is sabbatoging[sic] Barack Obama. She is sabbatoging[sic] the Democratic Party. She is sabbatoging[sic] my spelling!!!!

Anybody that calls theirselves[sic] a reporter should immediately (IMMEDIATELY!) ask Hillary Clinton and members of her campaign, along with Bill Clinton if they had anything to do with this. I mean NOW, people who call theirselves[sic] reporters. What are you waiting for? If you don't call her, then that will prove that you're part of the MSM conspiracy. But if you do call her, don't believe her. Because she's a LIAR!! If you call her, and she says no, she should immediately (IMMEDIATELY!) be kicked out of this campaign and Super Delegates should endorse Barack Obama and give him a massage. And a happy ending. Because Barack Obama deserves a happy ending. And a smoke.

Don't let Hillary sabbatoge[sic] Barack Obama's happy ending!! IMMEDIATELY!!!!

I think we can make the grassy knoll thing stick on her if we just say it enough times

You know what? I think Hillary saw a young Obama twenty years ago and suggested that he attend Rev. Wright's church. The Clintons are so powerful they were able to forsee his eventual rise to power and thus sowed the seeds of destruction from the beginning.

C'mon. How stupid are you?

Wright clearly is enjoying his moment in the sun. And if he had stopped at the Moyer's interview he would have been OK. If he had stopped with just the speech at the PRess Club he might have been OK. It was clearly his choice to act like a preening fool during the Q&A.

Connie, with all due respect. I enjoy your posts but this is a bit beyond the pale.

AND it's mighty interesting that Sen. Clinton defended Wright and went after McCain on this issue. It's as if she wanted to be out in front.

Wow. Not only is the Clinton campaign devious, they can see into the future. You've got to be kind of impressed with the fact that they knew all of this was going to happen two years ago, when Reynolds first pitched the idea of inviting Wright to the Press Club. Unfortunately, Wright wasn't considered newsworthy at the time, so Hillary's evil plan failed. But luckily it was revived when the Press Club decided he was now newsworthy (imagine, inviting somone who's been in the news to the Press Club. Who woulda thunk?) And luckily everything worked out when it was decided that Reynolds was the best person to contact him, seeing as how she teaches religion at Howard University, and is a big supporter of Wright.

You've got to be impressed at the deviousness of the Clinton campaign.

And now they're going so far as to suggest that Obama supporters spreading this conspiracy theory are whackjobs who are so ready to believe whatever they read on the Internet, and so unbalanced by the implosion of Obama's campaign, that they will accuse Hillary of anything. What nonsense.

GuyGene takes the cake, though: "I think it says something about the way that she has run her campaign that people are so willing to believe that she's capable of such a stunt."

Right, it says something about the Clinton campaign that Obama supporters, who have been saying the most viole, hateful stuff about Clinton, will now believe still another crazy ass rumor. I mean, it's not like it says anything about Obama supporters.

No matter how desperately anyone might wish to drag Hillary down with the Rev. Wright, the man belongs to Obama.

Read Errol Louis's column in the NY Daily News. Makes it quite clear that the Hillary-supporting Dr. Reynolds -- who, by the way, is a big time homophobe (go check her blog if you don't believe me) -- ARRANGED for Wright's visit. This was no casual conversation.

See, this is why I cannot respect the average Obama supporter. IF I thought Connie Manes was just a lone lunatic conspiracist with more energy than sense, I would not question the Obama campaign at all.

However, when more than half of the Obama supporters who post on this site are this eager to smear Clinton that they out slime the Wall Street Editorial Board. When democrats are worse than Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O'REilly put together, well, you know something is rotten at the center.

I have said it before - Obama supporters act more like Nader supporters than Democrats - at least here they do. If you are an Obama supporter who was a Nader supporter in 2000, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GORE AND BUSH!!!!

and a vast difference between Clinton and McCain. In fact, if you were honest you would recognize that Clinton is to the left of Obama on progressive economic policies - but then, accuracy is not your strong point, is it? if it were, you would never post such tripe as this.

Reynolds's name is dirt--maybe she thought she would be in Hillery's imaginary presidential cabinet.

Eh. I think it's much ado about nothing. She organizes events, supports Clinton, and also knows that everyone wants to see what Wright will utter next. Nothing exciting here, folks.

Moyers, The Press Club, NAACP all arranged by Clinton? I guess the Obamabots think a Clinton supporter coached Wright about what to say?

Ben. Could there be any more evidence of the Blind-Eye, Biased Jumper thing?

ChrisO, Oregon, Teresa, where have you been? It's been lonely here.

The accusation that HRC's campaign is involved is hardly unfounded. The press Club, where Wrights most insane performance was organized by an "avid Clinton supporter".

"When democrats are worse than Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O'REilly put together, well, you know something is rotten at the center."

This coming from a supporter of a candidate that's been using O'Reilly, Hannity and Limbaugh TACTICS against her fellow Democrat since DAY ONE -- is laughable.

Ok I read more, I am now eating crow over my rants of an HRC consprarcy to get Wright on the air. MMMMMMM crow.

I apologize to whomever I may have insulted.

For some reason, Barbara Reynold's blog post about her reasons for supporting Hillary Clinton disappeared from her website this morning. A buzzflasher retrieved it:

Why Rev Reynolds would delete her post is curious as there's nothing terribly inflammatory there, IMO.
