“Despite that there is no evidence – in written or spoken word – that Obama’s views are anywhere close to Wright’s …”
Actions (such as Obama’s attending that ‘church’ for the better part of two decades, naming Wright his spiritual adviser, taking his children to be preached that spew, etc., etc.) speak far louder than words, even when not dealing with politicians — a species that lies as easily as it breathes.

Well, I only know about what Hannity was ranting about.

His major complaint was that it showed a lack of judgment to be associated with Wright for 20 years. Then to stand up for him, only to repudiate him later, shows an even greater lack of judgment.

UPDATE: QandO links (thanks, McQ!)

In the 30+ blog posts about Wright over at QandO, the comments section is littered with accusations of racism on Obama’s part. Despite that there is no evidence – in written or spoken word – that Obama’s views are anywhere close to Wright’s, there doesn’t seem to be any hesitation among some to hurl “racist” at Obama.

So wouldn’t you say that the Right is guilty as well when it comes to,

but on the other it is a shame how some people broadly employ the epithet, without regard for the consequences, simply to score cheap political points.

???

Well I think you might say that if someone asked you.

The big problem with this theory is that talk radio is very critical of McCain, and is more then willing to take on any member of the religious right when they say something stupid or outlandish.

Of course, he would have had to been listening to talk radio in order to know that.

I don’t know anything (or at least not any more than anyone else does) about what’s going to happen come November, but barring a complete McCain meltdown, I cannot imagine Obama winning the presidency with this kind of baggage. As I have no allegiance to the either party, my vote is at least notionally up for grabs, but the Democrats keep nominating these embarrassingly bad candidates.

Wright may be the worst single aspect, but Ayers, Obama’s commie blogger, Mrs. Obama, and Mr. Obama’s handling of all the former create a type of synergy.
