Rev. Jeremiah Wright isn't the problem
The hysteria over Obama's former pastor's attacks on America shows we're still in thrall to knee-jerk patriotism.
By Gary Kamiya [2008-03-25]

  • Kamiya 110% correct

    What he writes about immediate post-9/11 is EXACTLY what I instinctively felt and thought AT THE TIME. I watched in horror as the country willingly swallowed the "patriotism" opium and threw away it's ability to reason and see the lies. I could see SO clearly EXACTLY what was happening just as Kamiya explains it. It was just like what I had read about Nazi Germany. It was quite an education in the stupidity of the masses.

    And now Kamiya is 110% correct on the Wright uproar. Skimming through a few of the letters here just reminds me once again how Americans can't think and reason very well. And I wonder how many who are spouting off on the issue ACTUALLY READ Obama's speach. Clearly many have not.
