Obama's Church Apology and Defection
Written by Paul Zannucci on 6:16 AMFrom Townhall.com we have a Thomas Sowell piece: Irrelevant Apologies
Writing about Obama's recent defection from his church after being Pflegerized, Sowell points out the obvious, which the media nevertheless has missed, "For any politician, what matters is not his election year rhetoric, or an election year resignation from a church, but the track record of that politician in the years before the election."
Let's make something clear. This is a deserving dead horse Sowell is whipping here. That church has been proven to be a consistent source of racial hatred, preaching divisive sermons one after another. I even heard one African American commentator shrug it off the other day by saying (paraphrased), "Well, if you were familiar with the African American experience you wouldn't be so shocked at hearing this." I suppose that's like being familiar with the Hamas movement and not being shocked by suicide bombers. If you're reading this site, I know that you are not likely the type of person who has given Obama a free pass on this, but the mainstream media is ready to move on, and we can't let them.
It is not acceptable to be associated with a church of hate for 20 years and to quit only in the middle of a presidential election. It is not at all okay to surround yourself with hate and then only extricate yourself when the polls say it is time to do so.
This is one dead horse that needs to keep being beaten.
