Obama's Wife And Their Spiritual Adviser

Stuart Taylor reports:

All or almost all of the Democrats who shrug off Obama's Wright connection would (and should) be apoplectic about any prominent Republican whose 20-year spiritual adviser was known for bashing black people as a group, casting them as villains in paranoid conspiracy theories, glorifying the Ku Klux Klan (as Wright has gloried Louis Farrakhan), and the like.

Indeed, prominent in the chorus of demands last April for the firing of radio host Don Imus, for using racial slurs that seem mild compared with Wright's sermons, was the voice of Barack Obama himself: "There is nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group."

You'll probably be hearing more about this come November.
