"It worked on the New York Times, which called the speech a "profile in courage""

It is extremely offensive, not to mention asinine, to refer to this speech as having anything to do with "courage" -- it took no courage AT ALL to try to salvage one's political campaign from revelations that the candidate has been intimately associated with a blatantly racist preacher and church for 20+ years. All that Obambi tried to do was to change the subject and re-frame the discussion in ways favorable to his candidacy, while throwing his loving white grandmother under the bus.

It is even more offensive to babble about "courage" in such a context when so many thousands of US troops are in harm's way every day right now. Obambi knows absolutely nothing about courage -- and I do not mean only the courage of the battlefield, he knows nothing of courage in a moral context or a political context. He has led a sheltered, pampered life (like most of us) and has never had to brave any large risks or confront any real dangers to self or career. Most certainly this speech bore no relation to any form of courage.....

ONLY the feckless imbeciles and sycophants at the New York times would consider a black racist who just threw his grandmother under the bus to protect a Marxist Black Racist Preacher — a “profile in courage”.

My God! Does “Freedom of the Press” have no obligation to TRUTH?

We can be thankful that the newspapers of this type are all going broke — the perfect result for Socialist/Marxist practice...
