Read More: Jeremiah Wright, Judaism, Obama, Obama Jeremiah Wright, Synagogue

I blogged yesterday about Sen. Obama's various reasons for sticking with a congregation whose pastor he surely disagrees with. Then today I read this comment sent to Andrew Sullivan's blog, then posted by him:

Mark Oppenheimer | Posted March 16, 2008 | Politics

Read More: Barack Obama, Jeremiah Wright, Religion, Wittgenstein

I haven't been following the to-do about Barack Obama's preacher-man very closely, because I've already read enough to know this: people who think that Wright's words have anything to say about Obama don't just misunderstand Obama -- whose record on racial harmony seems pretty unassailable -- but they also misunderstand...

The Founding Fathers must have been prescient. They tried to warn us, with their separation of church and state proviso, that dangerous times lay ahead. And a rabidly nationalistic religious zealot with a yen for political power and glory would have been their worst nightmare. I doubt any of them...
