There's not a lot I can add to a lot of the fine posts I've read already, but it really is odd how Ms. Walsh clearly watched an interview I didn't see, even though we were apparently viewing the same program. Reverend Wright drew a broad clear line under the conservative meme of America's phoney perfection, and his candor should be embraced (and a great boon to Obama, not a liability).
But when you read the take of who I thought was an intelligent thoughtful woman you can see how America has reached the sad place we are today. There is no hope without honesty and clarity; there are no solutions to problems without staring the problems in the face.
The truth may sting, but it never, ever hurts you if you if you deal with it head-on. And Ms. Walsh, like so many others, turns away.
