I suspect what you read only entertained that possibility. In fact, the tape that sparked the big ruckus was given to ABC (not CNN) by McCain campaign workers. In any case, Sean Hannity of Fox News had been playing various bits and pieces of Wright's sermons for months. It wasn't until ABC aired that one tape that the whole thing took off. There's no evidence I'm aware of that the Clinton campaign had anything to do with it. And if you think about it, it's the last thing they'd want to be held responsible for, given how assiduously the Obama campaign and supporters have been working at painting the Clintons as injecting race into the campaign (entirely falsely, IMHO, but unfortunately quite successfully).
