This is a heads-up and a big thank you to Dkos diarist, LizzyPop.
His/her diary entitled Huckabee comments on Obama & Rev. Wright flap was picked up by Politico's Ben Smith:Huck Defends Wright. Smith included the video and printed most of Huckabee's comments.
Huffington Post picked up Ben Smith's piece and did a nice write-up again including the video .Huckabee Defends Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Since we've had the attention of the media because of the 'strike'diary, it's good to see them picking up on a solid and under-reported story about a reasoned defense of the over-hyped media circus involving Rev. Wright.
It's also underscores the importance of what we write in diaries and the importance of reporting on stories that have been swepted away under the MSM rug.
What we write here does matter and what we chose to recommend for the recommend list matters too.
I also want to note that so far, the best defense of Rev. Wright and Obama has come from a conservative Republican. I commend and thank Mike Huckabee,but,I wonder where are the voices from Democratic leaders? Why are they standing on the sidelines watching this media lynching?
We've arrived at the point when it's not enough to conjure attacks on a Democratic candidate because of what he or she might have said or done years ago (essays in Kindergarten come to mind), now it seems to be okay to attack Democratic candidates for their preachers...next will it some class attended in college? It's gotten that pathetic.
It's time to take a stand. Gore, Edwards, Biden, Pelosi, Reid speak out and to condemn the madness.
Meanwhile, Kossacks, please continue to write and fight the good fight!
