Though I am well aware it is pointless to try and change the deepest opinions of most people, but luckily, there is a plan B! You see, most of the people with the worst and most strongly held of opinions are old. I’m simply waiting for them to die.

Can I offer you a cigarette j clark?

When the good Rev shows up can someone please iron his klan hood for him? the man is an anti-white, anti – America racist punk very much like his protege’ Barry Obama

Ya know, like Catholics and child molestors. …oh.. wait.. hrm…

I guess we’ll have to wait at least another 20 years for people to approach the topic of race like adults. Though we’re not blasting each other with firehoses anymore, so at least there’s that.

So now, rather than explaining where in the previously-cited Time article you thought you had any support for the link, you cite, ex post facto, a ring-wing commentator. When you strip away her biased gloss on Obama’s intentions, you’re left with one fact: That the Obamas prayed with Wright at the time of his announcement. That doesn’t make Wright “a close campaign confidant.” It makes him a PASTOR.

Veer toward unsupported propaganda if you like (as opposed to accurate and honest reporting), but don’t expect not to be called out on it.

Here’s what Chavez said:

Obama missed his second chance to keep Wright at bay when he decided to run for president. Campaign aides warned Obama that his association with Wright was going to cause him trouble; so, on the eve of his presidential announcement, Obama withdrew his invitation to Wright to give the benediction at the ceremony. If he’d left it at that, Obama might at least have been able later to say that he had grown apart from Wright, or had outgrown him, or had come to see that Wright’s message was incompatible with his own. But instead, he invited Wright to come to the announcement but to stay in the basement, out of sight of cameras, where he could pray privately with the senator and his wife. His own actions now make Obama look not only ambivalent about Wright, but duplicitous.

I would say that makes him a “close campaign confidant.” But of course you’ll disagree and I don’t care enough to argue with you.

You call Wright a “close campaign confidant,” and link it, as if you have some support for such a mischaracterization. After all, who follows links?

Well, I do. You made it up. There’s no support whatsoever for such a characterization.

Nice try.
