Okay, the (latest) Rev. Wright thing

I haven't said much about this, because unlike conservatives, McCain supporters, and the media...I don't care. And also, as you know, I'm trying to cut back on the politics. But I wanted to say I agree with about 90-95% of this post from Hullabaloo, by brother (or sister) dday.

Especially the bits pointing out how clueless Chris Matthews is. My favorite, this quote from the ever-spooky Matthews:
Jeremiah Wright to a lot of people is Barack Obama.


Is it me, or does that sound like "They all look alike?"

Or as dday summarized Matthews' POV:
"I know I'm talking bullshit, but this is my impression of what the unwashed masses think, so, you know, I'm going with it."


And in conclusion, I've said this before. But anybody firing on Obama for Wright had better be taking exactly the same stance on McCain for Hagee and Falwell. If not they are, at best, hypocrites, at worst, racists.

There is a difference. McCain did not sit in the pew listening to Hagee nor Falwell for 20 some odd years. He did not have his kids babtized by those men nor did he have them marry him. He didn't write a book quoting them nor using one of their phrases as a title.

There is a BIG difference. Mammoth actually.

But since I don't see the connection I guess am a racist because I know I am not a hypocrite.
