The hysteria over Obama's former pastor's attacks on America shows we're still in thrall to knee-jerk patriotism.
  • @ Simmel

    Do you know what "begging the question" means?

    "I think most people are just thinking that in dangerous times, however it is we got here, here we are and people are legitimately concerned that Obama's close and spiritual association with a nutjob like Wright is an issue."

    Whether or not Wright is a "nutjob," as you say, is the issue on the table for debate.

    This essay is arguing that, despite the clips they've been playing, the man is not a "nutjob."

    Please, try and keep up.
