Answer 1

THEY DIDN'T

They went after him with a vengeance till it died a well deserved death.

Man how soon YOU forget, selectively forgot.

Stop being so partisan, you know the truth and I just spoke it.

Answer 2

Come on!!! Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter is a MUCH bigger story than the head of the Dem ticket hanging out with the most radical, anti-American, terrorists, in Chicago politics!!

Answer 3

I guess you could say part of the reason is that the media is liberal, but another part is that people in general have a low attention span and are quick to move on to the next controversial issue and WE JUST HAD 2 MAJOR POLITICAL CONVENTIONS AND 2 VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED

Answer 4

For the same reason that they are not reporting on Sarah Palin "Alaska seperatism" support...

Watch in disbelief.

Answer 5

The church isn't racist.  That's just GOP smear tactics.  His membership at Trinity was news for weeks...now its not.

Answer 6

Selective memory.  But, most people will remember.

And, they will remember Obama took his young children to the Trinity Church to hear Rev Wright spew racist un-American hate speech.

Answer 7

he is a racist underneath I think

Answer 8

News = new. Catch up with the rest of us when you can....

Answer 9

Barack is not a racist. he is a mixed race himself. his kids are a mixed race. he no longer attends this church.

we have more things to worry about. his race should not be an issue.

Answer 10

They didn't bury it. They played it over and over and over again three months ago, where you been.

Besides the story of "family values, hockey mom" Palin having an affair is much juicer.

Answer 11

Are you serious? Fox News covered it for 3 months.

If you are pathetically and desperatly trying to call Obama a racist you are indeed wrong.

So tell me, what do you know about the Anti-Semitism in Palin's church? Because Plain DOES in fact have anti-semitical ties. One speaker in her church said Israel should be blown up. Plain did nothing.  

Answer 12

The bible isn't only for Americans.  We're suppose to go out and preach to people, let them know about Jesus.  It's in the bible that if your family sins against God it will come back to your family later.  I have never been to a church that I've believed 100% what the pastor believed, but we need a church family and we can agree to disagree.  Politics and religion should remain separate, that's how the Evangelical Republicans came to be.  They can just throw God at you whenever it suits their needs.  They are truthfully so rapped up in themselves to really ever release there lives to God.  None of the men at the top tithe 10%.  That's why only 1% of Americans are at the top.

Answer 13

I don't know about other people but i am getting sick of hearing the story, so maybe it is because it is old news.  

Answer 14

It's too hard to spin it, so they aren't going to try.

Be prepared for multiple posts telling you this is old news.  

*** I could be wrong, but the phrase "typical white person" sounds a lot like a racist remark to me. Certainly moreso than referring to a bureaucratic bottleneck as a "black hole".

Answer 15

It's not NEWS.

Answer 16

Why is it that nobody's talking about Palin's preg teen? B/c it has NOTHING to do with the candidate running.

Answer 17

cause its an old, tired story--and no one cares---just like with Mcsame
