  Is everyone mad? Pun intended

  I'm saddened more by the reactions I'm seeing in the letters than in the words of Wright himself. I have to wonder what is wrong with you people.

  Wright isn't Obama, they are not one person who is joined at the hip. They are two seperate people who have seperate opinions. Sometimes even people you know well hold wildly different opinions than you do, but you don't go poking it with a stick because you aren't looking to break up your relationship with them so you don't know how deep they go.

  I've fallen out with friends before and only then do I find out exactly how drastically our world views differ, when we were getting along we only ventured into the areas we agreed on because we didn't want to look for conflict.

  Is it that the people who are posting have never been friends with someone who has crazy views, or found out later that their friends are insane after the fact. Perhaps you people just refuse to get along with people who don't believe everything you believe?

  I don't believe in guilt by association. Especially after someone has broken that association. What Wright said is the opposite of everything Obama has said. The only hypocrisy you can find is Obama saying "we get along" and than later saying "we no longer get along" and if nobody else has had a relationship go south because of differences in belief that you hadn't really seen before then you have a much different life than mine.
