And we all know about Hillary's attack.
It seems kinda crazy when the only one attacking the democratic Front-runner on this issue is another democrat. Heck, Hillary wasn't even defending him before when McCain and Huckabee were, she was just being quiet. Personally, I think it is highly disturbing that Hillary is seemingly incapable of taking the high road on this, leaving that road for the republican nominee and Huckabee (another republican). I thought we were better than that. I thought we were a party that looked deeper into this issues and didn't just write people off with little reason.
After all, these sorts of comments by Wright were extremely rare. They were also not characteristic of even the sermon they were given in. By and large he was a pretty normal pastor, well, as normal as you can be while being highly respected. Stating, incorrectly, that he gave hate speech and implying he regularly spat out hate speech is character assassination of the man, and seem at odds with the better points of the Democratic Party.
Doesn't this bother any of the Hillary supporters? Please speak up if it does, even if it only bothers you a little bit.
