...Obama's Achilles' Heel Senator Barack Obama has previously told us that words matter, and the venomous, vitriolic and racially divisive words of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright are fraught with meaning of the most disturbing kind [March 31]. As your story observed, Obama failed to answer the central question that troubled American voters are asking: Why would Obama choose Wright to be his spiritual guide and personal mentor? And if Obama's candidacy is about the future, why would he expose his young daughters to such poisonous rhetoric of the past? Although he delivered his speech with his usual grace...

And Bill O'Reilly caught flak for using the phrase "lynching party" in a critique of Michelle Obama...
...Which is not to say that Clinton's candidacy is entirely without purpose now that she is pursuing a Republican-style race gambit, questioning Obama's 20-year relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah "God damn America" Wright. Democrats will soon learn how damaging that relationship might be in a general election. They'll also see if Obama has the gumption to bounce back, work hard-not just arena rallies for college kids but roundtables for the grizzled and unemployed in American Legion halls-and change the minds that have turned against him. The main reason superdelegates have not yet rallied...
