the not-so-Reverend Wright: “Conservative fanatics line up on the side of al-Qaeda or they line up behind George Bush. Both are terrorists! Both believe that war is the answer. Both believe in murdering innocent people.”
This matter is also about far more than race - Wright is also a demented leftist of the Ward Churchill variety, who blames America for every ill and equates us with the jihad terrorists for fighting back. That is the most deranged form of leftist “moral equivalence” around — yes, those who insist upon fighting back against jihad terrorists who slaughtered so many on 9/11 and in other terror attacks are really just like the terrorists, you know. George Bush is a terrorist too! (sic)
This is the deranged leftist drivel in which Obama has willingly, eagerly been steeped for the past 20+ years, this is the man he considers to be his foremost mentor in the world (not just “spiritual mentor” — has Obama ever talked about anyone else the way he has talked about Jermiah Wright?). This is the worldview with which he is ‘educating’ his children.
Obama may say he wants to ‘transcend’ all this depraved hateful drivel now, but it’s a bit late for that.
How about the far-left ranting drivel that “Reverend” Wright publishes in his magazine:

Obama has been on the cover 3 times and can hardly claim he has never deigned to read the flagship magazine of his #1 mentor who puts him on the cover 3 times......that would also strain credulity once again!
Juan Williams's post-speech comment seemed to reflect that same "too late" sentiment.
Williams said that Wright's hateful speech was so indelibly impressed on the minds of voters that Obama's speech wouldn't wash it away (or something to that effect).
(On a sidenote re Juan Williams: I've always respected him as the rare liberal who seems completely honest about what he believes. I really like it that he still wears an American flag lapel pin. You know he has to get lots of grief for that.)
