I was a bit distressed when all this stuff about Obama's erstwhile minister surfaced, especially the "God Dam America" bit, which gave me a visceral wince. Then I read this amazing post on Huffington Post and felt a lot better. Check it out. Now the real question is how to get middle of the road folks to read it and think about it.
I'm worried that even good-hearted non-blacks are not going to understand the loud, seemingly confrontational sound cuts from Obama's church -- gee we thought this guy was pretty white, but this is scary! Anyway, the above-linked post says it all -- the Christian right is far more dangerous and evil than Rev. Wright could every be.
Also, check out this wonderful site. I just heard Robert Greenwald on a progressive radio program. He is the founder of "Brave New Films." The guy is doing a great service for us all. Check out the FOX Attacks Obama, part 2 film along with lots of other short films that Greenwald and his crew have blessed us with. Bravo.

Tom, your recent posts are all informative and right on. Thanks for turning me on to the greenwald little flick about Fox and Obama. I know Greenwald's longer films, and they're always enlightening. Lal
