Jeremiah Wright
This issue is far more complex than Greenwald's article. The anti Obama argument is based on a 20 year mentorship, spiritual confidant, a man who praised Farrakhan, traveled with him to Libya to see Ghadaffi, and who frequently said "God damn America." Given our record of Jim Crow it might be understandable that a black minister would take offense and react in this way. Obama's problem is suggesting he never agreed with these sentiments, even though he supppoted Wright financially.
Comparing this with the Religious ideologue Bush, and other neocons making political hay out of associating with the likes of Robertson for politcal purposes, and not closely associated with him, is a bit different. If they were buddying up with David Duke there would be better similarities.
I'm totally disgusted with the entire political system. I think Ron Paul would've been a better choice all around than these prancing fools.
