senator obama didn’t repudiate wright; he compared him to his grandmother
senator obama didn’t repudiate bill ayers; he compared him to senator coburn
these aren’t accidental choices or misspeaks; this is how the man chooses to defend himself and people he knows…
to me, this rhetoric is slippery to the point of sleazy…
let me go one step further: how hard can it be – how much integrity does it require – to say that you’ve talked with reverend wright about some of his more inflammatory comments and you’re working hard to persuade the good pastor that his language is excessive and his thinking is flawed?
how hard can it be to say, bill ayers did horrible, horrible things as a young man and the person i know today is nothing like the person caught up in excesses of the times?
the simple truth is: the senator can’t say any of those things because they aren’t true…his non-denial obfuscations are not honorable…there is a very good chance that he isn’t either
