It’s A Complete Mystery
Apparently these people who are on the teevee night after night find it impossible to rectify the problem they identify.
- GREGORY: Let’s move on to another email, Terri in Maryland, who writes the following: “Now that Barack Obama has categorically separated himself from Reverend Wright, when can we expect John McCain to reject and denounce Pastor Hagee? If some people can’t see that there is a blatant double standard going on here, I’m afraid that America will never be able to bridge the racial divide that still haunts our country.”
Richard Wolffe, that’s Pastor Hagee, who has endorsed John McCain and has been very critical of the Catholic Church and has been called out on that.
WOLFFE: Absolutely. And look, we’ve all heard evangelical ministers, white ministers, condemn America and damn America for abortions. And so, yeah, I don’t think there’s an equal balance of criticism and focus here. In some ways, John McCain is getting a free ride. But of course, that doesn’t take away from the offensive nature and the outrageousness of what Reverend Wright has said. But at some point, that scrutiny will come.
None of them seem to know how this state of affairs came to be.
