POLITICAL RANT FOLLOWS!
It's not often one gets to witness near perfection!
In the last 24 hours, FoxNews had waged one the most blatantly prejudicial attacks on Senator Obama possible. It started with almost unending re-airing of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's obscene "God Damn America" sermons. Fox then aired Obama's interview in which he denounced, in no uncertain terms, the Rev's expressed views. That renunciation notwithstanding, an on-screen wag noted that Barak was now really in trouble because the opposition would now search the history files to see if Barak was ever present during one of the egregious sermons, for if he had been, he was now clearly a liar - he had stated that "if he ever heard those views expressed he would have resigned from the church".
No, DAMMIT, that is NOT what he said. He said that if he had heard the Rev express such views, he would have taken him to task, and if he ever AGAIN heard him preach such views he would have resigned from the church. (Barak even reiterated that he would give the Rev a one-time pass because we all make mistakes). This was not some comment he make weeks ago, it was one it had uttered just moments before in the interview just aired!
The Rev Wright is no longer on the scene - Obama has clearly and unequivocally renounced those views. Has he clearly and unequivocally renounced the person of the Rev Wright, his longtime spiritual advisor, no - nor should he have to. (What happened to hate the sin, love the sinner!).
The harpies on FOX will not rest until Obama hunts down the Rev and causes him to be flogged and hanged in the town square (or from a tree, in the grand tradition).
I almost expect Sean Hannity to come out with customized lynching kits to sell on the Fox web site!
Fair and Balanced my ass!
