More From Obama's Former Spiritual AdviserMike Rappaport

According to the report:

In a racially charged interview, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright said that President Obama hasn't spoken to him since they parted ways last year, because "them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me."

I suppose there is nothing new to be said about Wright, but it is useful reminder of from where Obama came.

He seemed to acknowledge that the stuff pulled from his 20 years of sermons was indeed the stuff he was teaching for his 20 years of sermons.

So we did have our current president attending a racist, anti-Semitic, crackpot theology church for a couple of decades.

That doesn't matter, krome, because he is a Democrat.

And he's a pretty, clean, articulate (semi-)minority "progressive" Democrat - such that the mainstream press will be a polyp in his colon until the microphones (or keyboards) are pried from their cold, dead fingers - or the network/newspaper they work for goes out of business.

[anon]

With the kook who murdered the guard at the Holocaust Museum yesterday and the way the media tried to link him to conservatives, you'd think someone would point out that Wright ain't that far from some of the ideas of the nutball who opened fire.

But in fairness, do you think Obama's attending the church most popular with his Illinois constituency was anything but political positioning?

Why doesn't anyone talk about that? Seriously, I think that it is very likely that he didn't listen to a word the reverend said for eight years.

So he either faked his devotion for political posturing or he is guilty of pandering his religion. Even Romney can't be accused of that.

Interesting that nobody reports on it

Typo: I meant, "So he either faked his devotion for political posturing and is guilty of pandering his religion, or he really listened to, and remained with, this outrageous pastor."
