The great irony here is that, if Obama believed any of Wright’s anti-American, anti-white venom, his tremendous success among white voters as the “post racial” candidate must have knocked him for a loop. And only the fact that those white voters so badly want him to be this mythological creature makes his membership in the racist, victim-mongering church a problem.

I imagine that a lot of white liberal voters out there were feeling pretty pleased with themselves for finding a black candidate they could support, but finding out that the candidate they found belongs to a religious organization that hates them probably isn’t going to sit well.

And if Obama makes it to a general election, video of his pastor thundering “God damn America” from the pulpit in the church Obama has attended for 20 years isn’t going to win his campaign a lot of friends.
