The slob Tim Russert set up the swiftboat attempt by raising the issue of Louis Farrakhan (who had to know that he would hurt Obama with his "endorsement"). F@ck Louis Farrakhan!
But how did this even become an issue?
Clinton and her media allies brought this up as a way to:
#1. Drive a wedge between Obama and Black Americans... by putting him in a position to "reject" Farrakhan (a man who many negroes love).
#2. For the purpose of fearmongering...to peel White support away from Obama.
This was a swiftboat (political) assassination attempt on Barack Obama.

That stupd Farrakhan question really ticked me off too. I thought it was really racist and innappropriate.
AI,
OF COURSE THEY TRIED TO SET HIM UP.
But, bless him, Obama danced on that razor's edge once again. And, came up a winner.
Roland Martin did nearly 2 hours on folks' reaction to what Obama said. I can count on one hand the number of Black folks that were mad at him about it. The rest were like me - we would have told Russert to kiss our Black asses, but we realize he's running for President, and it seems, post-racial campaign though he tries to run, like every other Black pol, they try and hang Farrakhan around his neck. He distanced himself without being disrespectful and seeming to grovel - no small feat, but he did it.
But, you're on the money - it was a setup.
