Well... Except...
As Jimmy Chitwood pointed out, Obama never rejected Farrakhan. Renounce has a separate meaning than reject. Renouncing anti-Semitism is different than renouncing an anti-Semite. Rejecting the support (as in votes) from an anti-Semite is different than rejecting someone’s anti-Semitic views.
This episode further points out that Obama fans are so in love with the power of words, well… except when they are not.
Reminds me of how Obama in speech after speech tells us to stop dwelling in the past - it’s about the future, well… except when it’s about Iraq, then for Obama it’s all about the distant past when he gave a speech in 2002. Since that speech in 2002, which had ZERO impact on the Iraq debate, he has offered ZERO except going along with the status quo.
Maybe Obamas campaign is not about
“Change” and “Hope”
it’s about
“Well…” and “Except...”.
