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

    I should be more precise: the essay is not, in fact, about whether Wright is a nutjob in general, but rather about whether the sermon in question is evidence that he is a nutjob.

    The essay is arguing that this sermon suggests nothing of the kind.

    If you have any evidence that WRight is, in fact, a nutjob, I invite you to bring it forth.

    (Before you do, you might consider the criteria according to which you consider someone a nutjob, and share them as well. That way, we can be on the same page as we go forward with this dialogue.)
