Why has the media highlighted Rev. Wright saying "God Damn America", but NOT his remarks that Hillary Clinton doesn't know what it is like to be called a name, a slur, or be treated as a "non-person"?

Because his remarks are boldly, offensively, off-the-charts sexist; filled with so much AUDACIOUS DENIAL that sexism even exists, that the media, in relation to it's own sexist abuse of Hillary, rather enjoys it, and the pardoning from the good Reverend at his pulpit, if you will.

Rev. Wright said, in his 'sermon' (LA Times, link below);

"Hillary was not a black boy raised in a single-parent home -- Barack was," Wright said in the Christmas sermon, delivered from the pulpit at Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.

"Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people. Hillary! Hillary can never know that. Hillary ain't never been called a nigger! Hillary has never had her people defined as non-person."

I wonder how many black women cringed inside a bit at his remarks?

Women don't know what it's like to be called names?

HILLARY has never been called a name, a sexist slur?

How many women are there who have not known the pain of being called the B word (and not in 'fun'), the C word, the W word, asked 'how much", or told where our place is?

How many women HAVE NOT felt defined as 'less than', inferior, subservient, "non-people" in this man's world, even if they 'graciously' accept the idea as natural or ordained?

How many religions are there are on this planet that DO NOT claim woman must submit to man, claim she is subservient to him as commanded by GOD himself?

That is a question few people address with frankness or clarity, certainly not the media.

But Rev. Wright's 'sermon' goes well beyond that. He denies that WHITE women don't know suffering.

His attack on Hillary Clinton is oppressive to all women, but it is meant to be especially oppressive to black women. He lies to black women that white women don't know pain, that we live in some Camelot where 'our' men never mistreat us or call us names. He encourages black women to believe their suffering stems from racism alone. He encourages them to believe that racist/sexist abuse they experience from white men is only due to racism, that white men only abuse women of color. He encourages them to believe that the abuse they experience from black men stems from their being 'emasculated' by white men, and shamed by being placed supposedly below white women. He lies to black women that all their suffering would end with the destruction of racism alone, and the advancement of black men into sharing a plane of equality with white men. His intent is to DIVIDE BLACK & WHITE WOMEN, for the benefit of black men, and all men, by stereotyping white women and shaming black women who dare to feel anything in common with them.

We watch again as the media lets it slide by, without questioning Senator Obama why he has associated with Rev. Wright, chosen him to be his spiritual mentor/advisor, for so long, some twenty years, (his current 'denoucement' not withstanding). We watch as the media does this and continues their campaign against Hillary Clinton.
