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]

  • The math of "hype"

    Dear anahadwolves...

    Do the math. Popular vote as well as polls have Obama up by 48% to 45%. Last I looked, America was somewhere around 12% black. You're in a minority dear. Oh, and look up "coronation" while you're fact-checking. Coronations are for Monarchs... and monarchs come by their power via hereditary pathways. Hardly the case for this young black leader. Perhaps, just maybe, Obama's support-base is actually comprised of enlightened, courageous, racially heterogeous Americans with some vision, courage, and (yes) HOPE - even for folks like you!
