And yet
there is evidence that, even in Texas, this will not work. Obama has overtaken Clinton in the polling in Texas and appears poised to finish her off on Tuesday. My hope is that he will then use the position of the nominee to highlight this ridiculous double standard that the press applies in allowing the wingnuts to spout such extremism when it is veiled in religious language. Note that McCain did have to repudiate the talk show host in Ohio, but he wasn't ordained, so he could be dismissed.
The compliance of the press continues to irritate me on a daily basis. Click on my name for a description of the transcript from a White House FISA briefing yesterday that actually ended with the "press" promising the "Senior Administration Official" that "We'll cover your ass".
Only when the press is called out each and every time when they allow extreme hate to get a pass or when they cover for administration wrong-doing will we be able to move ahead as a society. Obama soon will find himself in a position to take a real lead on this issue. Will he rise to the challenge?
