Salon, you're trying too hard
You're supposed to at least pretend that you have some semblance of objectivity. But after a fistful of articles that all claim that (White) America is seriously deluded about the patriotic peace nuggets of Rev Wright it's pretty clear you're going to beat this dead horse with doctrinaire fervor, for just about forever.
The next time, or, better yet, find in the past, a candidate who openly embraced antiamericanism and won a national election, let me know. No one is saying that Obama and Wright aren't perfectly free, encouraged even, to hold whatever views they wish. They're saying that as a strategy that leads to the White House, "This is the first time I've been proud of my country" and "Kill Whitey" are not wise choices.
