No surprise who's pushing this hardest on Mudcat--our top bottom-dweller, Mr. Riginslimer.

And in addition to our own favorite scum-sucker, it's also not much of surprise who is pushing it elsewhere--McCain/Palin and their shrill partners in distortion on right-wing radio and TV--not the Jewish community at large.

Finally there's no doubt what Limbaugh, Hannity et. al would do with the tape once they got it--take out the most incendiary 2 minutes or so--say the controversial poem, for instance---and broadcast it non-stop on the Net etc. til the end of Tuesday--and then even afterward.

It would be one thing if the people allegedly so concerned with "right to know" would actually broadcast the entire tape--so any controversial part would be seen in context.

But it's painfully obvious that all they're after is Rev. Wright Part ll--and they will never put any chosen clip into context.

All they want is a knee-jerk reaction--from the jerks who respond to such a stimulus.

Like our dear friend who started this thread.
