Obama and Wright's wrongs

Thomas Sowell in today's National Review Online adds some good insight into the uproar over the incendiary remarks made by his spiritual advisor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright:

If Barack Obama was not in church that particular day, he belonged to that church for 20 years. He made a donation of more than $20,000 to that church.

In all that time, he never had a clue as to what kind of man Jeremiah Wright was? Give me a break!

You can't be with someone for 20 years, call him your mentor, and not know about his racist and anti-American views.

Neither Barack Obama nor his media spinmeisters can put this story behind him with some facile election-year rhetoric. If Senator Obama wants to run with the rabbits and hunt with the hounds, then at least let the rabbits and the hounds know that.

I think Obama's going to have a very hard time putting this behind him -- and he should. Coming after his wife's remarks about being ashamed of America, this suggests that Obama's been exposed to a tremendous amount of radical, bigoted attitude. I'm honestly sorry that this is true.
