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

    The furor over Wright's comments is ridiculous. Much of what he said was true and it's about time we talk about race in a way not filled with politically correct platitudes. But Kamiya's assertion that the furor is specific to the political right is completely incorrect. Mainstream media's been front and center from the get go and the Clinton campaign has certainly tried to use it against Obama. I'm still not sure who I'll be voting for in November. I know who it won't be. It won't be Hillary. Obama's speech about Wright last week made him far more appealing to this moderate leaning a little to the left voter.
