While I recognize that Obama’s association with Reverend Wright will reverberate still and continue to harm his campaign in one manner or other, there is a sure sign that the fight to change the election to one against Reverend Wright has “Jumped the Shark”.\u00c2\u00a0 It is this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here you see someone working for Hugh Hewitt at Townhall.com with the intention of posting up Wright’s Trinity church’s old newsletter during the time Obama attended.\u00c2\u00a0 Now, under normal circumstances under normal rules of political attacking, you would think that the pages they decide to post would be the more incendiary ones.\u00c2\u00a0 But, apparently not, or we have come to a point where just ripping out everything from Reverend Wright’s back stock is incendiary enough.\u00c2\u00a0 These newly uncovered newsletters for this “Pastor Watch” feature uncover the shocking requests for a Kidney donation for a sick member of the congregation, and a request for charity to send for the relief of Katrina victims.\u00c2\u00a0 Surely these uncovered church documents will sink Obama’s campaign.<\/p>\n
