Okay, this is getting a bit ridiculous and personal. I didn't mean to but into your and Seaver's argument. I wasn't speaking of you in particular. I was making a reference to the old "if you're under 30 and a repub you have no heart, over 30..." It seemed like an appropriate time to make a light hearted attempt at political humor that may not have come across that way.
With regard to roach's response I meant what I said. He never addressed the OP directly and defaulted to conservativeland speak. We all know what he thinks about consertvativeland already. This thread is about Reverend Wright, what he said, and whether or not Obama's response to being 20 years in his company is adequate.
There's two components to this:
1. Are you defending what the preacher said? If so, do it directly. I know what roach thinks about conservativeland. Even if there's historical context to it to what Wright said and it can be justified with hours of historical debate, there is a vitriole to that tone that is not appropriate or rationale in this day and age for a president who subscribes to thought, IMO.
2. Are you with Obama in denouncing what he said? If so, isn't it a reasonable question to ask how he tolerated it and contributed to it financially for 20 years.
