God and Man in the White House
The shame does not lie with Wright and Hagee. The shame is that American politics has degenerated to the point where these toxic God-wielders are actively courted by our leaders.

He has morphed into someone who speaks in untruths, and here's the really bad news for Terry McAuliffe: tonight, his candidate suffered an incredible defeat.

If McCain wins this election, the Supreme Court will be stacked with Roberts and Alito clones and we will lose the court for the rest of my lifetime.

If the media were not distracted by Rev. Wright's controversial remarks, this comment would cause a huge backlash against Clinton.

Obama is the first black leader to suggest that we are on the verge of arriving at a post-racist society. If Obama is right, Jeremiah Wright goes out of business.

Contrary to conventional wisdom that Bill Clinton was "good" for the African American community, Wright preached, "He did the same thing to us that he did to Monica Lewinsky."

The American people need to hear what Wright is saying about foreign policy. He may be wrong about some things, but he's spoken about some matters we can no longer ignore.

With all this focus pocus on the excesses of one Democratic candidate's former Baptist preacher, John McCain is getting away with not not talking about any of the issues.

Some have praised Wright as a "hero" to whom African-Americans "owe a great debt." In fact, exactly the opposite is true. His spiteful divisiveness has done all Americans a historic disservice.

"Reverend Wright -- may I call you J-Wry?" "If you wish. But why that?" "It's looser, more casual. Puts people at ease." "I see." "And trust me, J...

Perhaps Wright felt that Obama did not stand up for him enough and this is payback, or perhaps he feels that his cause is so righteous that devil damn the consequences.

We expect to see this sort of race-baiting behavior from Fox, but CNN and MSNBC have, once again, similarly crossed the tabloid threshold into the very same nefarious Roger Ailes realm by beating this nothing story to death.

Senator Obama, you have made a wise choice. You may be in a fight with Rev. Wright for the duration of your campaign, but you will be seen as being on the right side... the progressive side

Obama wouldn't have this Reverend Wright problem if Americans didn't have the idea that their president has to be a man of faith.

First North Carolina, now Mississippi. Rev. Wright has become fair game for Republican campaigners. The GOP willingness to use Obama against down-ballot candidates does not bode well for Democrats.

The notion that Obama "can't appeal" to white rural men sells short both Barack Obama and white men who live in rural America. It also flies in the face of the facts.

Jeremiah Wright is like the return of the repressed, a last desperate lunge of the undead 60s toward center stage.

Ultimately, Reverend Wright may be the unheralded, indeed unpopular, "hero" who enabled us to reembark on a new journey of recovery for social justice.
