Yes, part of this is Morris’s hatred of hillary, but part of it is his incomprehension of religion.
What kind of impression will people get of Barrack Obama if they conclude that he spent 20 years in this racist church, and brought up his children there, just because it was politically useful? Is that a reason for going to church every Sunday?
Among the chattering classes, nobody is religious, so this behavior is perfectly comprehensible. In fact, it’s better if Obama doesn’t believe any of that religious nonsense. But ordinary Americans, including many Democrats, are at least 70% religious in some way.
This kind of opportunitist hypocrisy won’t go over very well. It’s much worse than not going to church at all. They may not say anything, or even think it through, but their picture of Obama will be considerably less warm and fuzzy.
I agree with you 100% . . . Morris is not religious or he would understand why this is a big deal and why it is not going away. Obama’s religious beliefs and the church he chooses go to the core of who he is as a man. Period.
