Should i be concerned about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?
Fox News thinks i should be. HRC and her crew hope i will be. But somehow i just can't work up the energy to be indignant.
Part of it is the hypocrisy. Fox-niks like Bill O'Reilly and the insufferable Sean Hannity decry the "divisiveness" of Wright's sermons (or at least those snippets of the sermons they play over and over again.) Yet Fox routinely plays at racial polarization to build ratings. They seek out the most extreme voices because that makes for the kind of arguments their hosts love.
Same thing with the Clinton camp. Like most White democrats, they never worried about what was said in black churches when those churches were turning out their parishioners to vote for Bill, Hil, or their allies. It's a completely different story now that HRC is on the receiving end. For me, what was sauce for Dole makes good sauce for a Clinton.
So, i think i'll just sit this one out.
