Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
The hysteria over Obama's former pastor's attacks on America shows we're still in thrall to knee-jerk patriotism.
  • "Last week's ridiculous uproar over Rev. Jeremiah Wright's sermons proves yet again that America has still not come to terms with the most rudimentary facts about race, 9/11 -- or itself."

    I would say more importantly, america has not come to terms with the toxic role religion has come to play in our politics and society.
