I’ve got to agree with Roger and Bill. Sen. Obama made a choice to embrace Rev. Wright warts, blemmishes, rhetoric, hate and all. This is a choice he made long ago and for twenty-odd years apparently supported. To say that the Senator is seeking redemption or reconcilliation for this choice is like a long-time Boston resident and Red Sox fan moving to the Bronx and trying to convince his Yankees neighbors that he is “reformed.”

I, too, have two young daughters and make great efforts to try and avoid having them exposed to racist views that are contrary to our beliefs. I can not imagine deliberately placing my children into such an environment of naked hate and contempt.
