Still, I think Obama is OK here, unless we see video of him cheering while Wright espouses hate, bigotry and idiocy.<BR/><BR/>We all have friends and relatives who say outrageous things from time to time. I won't throw any of my friends under the bus and I don't expect Obama or any other politician to do so, either. If they aren't on your staff, then just tell me you don't agree with their position or statements and show me that you don't agree by your actions, and as far as I'm concerned the issue is over.<BR/><BR/>If I disassociated myself from every friend and relative who is a bit crazy, I'd be a lonely, lonely, man.A Red Mind in a Blue Statehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423945703299761676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-12816654442798456542008-03-15T03:22:00.000-04:002008-03-15T03:22:00.000-04:00Well, if you think Wright was speaking the plain t...Well, if you think Wright was speaking the plain truth - about September 11, for example, or about white America - then I'm afraid you are as mistaken as he.Paul Levinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609987407926836519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-42691675402081290832008-03-15T01:56:00.000-04:002008-03-15T01:56:00.000-04:00Why be concerned?

Wright's comments were taken out of context, both cultural context and syntactical context.<BR/><BR/>Wright doesn't speak for Obama.<BR/><BR/>Besides, I don't see his comments as hate-filled.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the preacher was speaking the plain truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
