I’ve been very tolerant of Rev. Wright but this ‘publicity tour’ he went on this weekend was not helpful at all.
Obama just made this statement…
“The person I saw yesterday was not the person that I met 20 years ago,” Obama said of the man who married him…
“At a certain point if what somebody says contradicts what you believe so fundamentally and then he questions whether or not you believe it — in front of the National Press Club — then that’s enough,” Obama continued.

Damn straight. Say what you will about relative sanity, but Wright at least has the appropriate endowment to go after the powerful and kingmakers. Robertson licks their boots and likes to pick on the weak and outnumbered.
That said, a couple of moments of Wright’s had the effect of making him about as believable as a 9/11 Truther. Even at that conference, he came off as a reasonable and intelligent guy, but also showed (especially during the Q & A) a pretty solid knack for torpedoing himself.
But, I will also eat my feet the day that major networks provide anything near the same attention to absolute craziness of the Religious Wrong movement. We could easily start with the cult-like behavior of neo-Pentacostals who patronize only “Christian” businesses and social groups. Or perhaps openly mock the absolute pig-headedness with which right-wing preachers are out to make our children just as ignorant about the natural world as we are through Creation Science.
Naw, couldn’t possibly play those guys on infinite loop.

OMG, I love it.
I also love John Ridley’s Huffington Post piece, “The Undeniable Virtue of Jeremiah Wright’s Pro-Blackness (and the Problem with Pro-Whiteness)” – http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-ridley/the-undeniable-virtue-of_b_98659.html.
WIN.
