Nice speech. Some very inspiring rhetoric. The guy has a gift.
Here's the part that bothered me. BHO said he didn't agree with his preacher's screeds demonizing white folks, but he could not disown Jeremiah Wright any more than he could disown the black community.
Now, here's the way I see this kids.
Fred Phelps is a white preacher in Topeka KS who preaches hate just like BHO's preacher does. Of course, Phelps rails against gay folks, while BHO's pastor hates white folks, so it's not a precise fit in that sense.
However, it works to make the following point. I'm a straight white d00d but I have no compunction about disowning and villifying Fred Phelps as a dangerous extremist. Therefore, I fail to see why BHO feels incapable of disowning Jeremiah Wright. Or, in the alternative, is the presumptive presidential nominee trying to have it both ways?
what do you guys think?
