I don't think Obama's Olbermann appearance is enough to stem the Wright tide. The best argument is the much worse connection between McCain and the crazy right preachers. Because the traditional media never will do it, Obama may have to be the one to reveal the outrageous double standard of excoriating him for Wright, while not touching McCain for embracing Hagee and Parsley.
I've put together a draft Obama speech that tries to weave together his message with an attack on the double standard.
In the comments or a diary, let's try to put together an "open source" speech for Obama (or a surrogate who will have a platform). Here's my try:
The past few days my campaign has been engulfed in nearly constant, furious attacks of guilt by association. The words of Pastor Wright, which I have repeatedly denounced, have been broadcast non-stop on radio, television and the internet. Despite my rejection of these statements, so-called pundits have seen fit to tie me irrevocably to them, and impugn my patriotism and tolerance.
