Irrelevant indeed. Why would ANYONE take seriously a lecture on race relations from a man who for twenty years belonged to and supported an openly racist institution? For the problem at Obama’s church goes well beyond Obama’s close association with the rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth hate-whitey/hate America pastor Wright. When Wright mocked the disappearance and almost certain death of missing white teenager Holloway, the “congregation” laughed, applauded and shouted approval. When Wright trumpeted the lurid blood libel that White America invented AIDS to kill Africans, the audience stomped its feet in mindless approbation. The very ethos of Obama’s church was poisoned with vehement racism and hatred. Obama chose to expose his innocent children to this toxic atmosphere. No, thanks Mr. Obama. No sermons from you.

That is an excellent point. Pastor Wright isn’t some lone anomaly standing apart from the “holy” atmosphere filling the rest of the church. He is simply the overflowing mouth of the congregation whose heart is saturated with hate for whites and America.
