Say whatever you want about Hitchens's disdain of religion in general, he's so right on this point alone I want to clap until my hands fall off. Obama trying to draw moral equivalence between a woman afraid of a guy aggressively panhandling and a man preaching anti-Americanism, racial division, provably false tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories, and Marxist crap from his pulpit is beyond the pale. Especially considering that same woman helped him get to where he is today, by sending him to a nice school as well as feeding, clothing and sheltering him.
Until us .
” He still gets away with absolutely everything.”
For decades, it has been assumed by some, that America is a racist country and its citizens are racist. Of course, the assumption is that it is the whites who are racist.
Wright has made some highly inflammatory racial remarks and these remarks were known to Obama. In fact, Obama knew he might have to distance himself from Wright after the primary. It is a guilty knowledge, but Obama is trying to be too clever.
More than that though, tens of millions of blacks in this country are backing Obama. By linkage, they support Obama, who supports Wright.
The bottom line is that tens of millions of whites are going to dismiss any further accusations of being racist. Blacks support Obama, Obama supports Wright. Whites should give a small thought of thanks to Obama. Singlehandedly he exposed the vile and wicked side of black theology, and it has permanently insulated whites from further nonsensical racial epithets. Whites are free to ignore this crap because of Wright. The race hustlers are only going to be laughed at now, and no one will take them seriously. All the people will have to do is to invoke the name of Reverend Wright and his church of hate and bigotry.
