Andrew Sullivan comments again on the Reverend Wright argle-bargle, including the Rev’s comments of today:
I reiterate that I think Obama has to make clear again that he vehemently opposes the use of race to divide and separate and inflame ancient grievances; that he wants to get beyond the racial politics of the Vietnam era; that he is dedicated to overcoming race and offering hope – not obsessing about race in order to foment anger and bitterness. Parts of the message Wright gave today were not just alien to Obama’s stated views – but actively hostile to them. Obama cannot explain that often enough
.
Unless, of course, he agrees with Wright. As Newt (on H&C tonight) indicates, Wright is not just a goofball preacher. He’s a hard leftist — and so is Obama.
