Reflections on a House Divided

The Limit

With update on Sen Obama's Speech

...it is difficult to believe that Sen Obama did not and does not still - regardless of what he now claims - share at least some of the views expressed by  his mentor in those sermons now in question. And that impression is much strengthened by the fact that all-too-many of those whom he has been close to in regards to his political career over the years are - and have - given clear or implicit signals of views inimical to the legitimate interests of our country or those of our Israeli allies - while others have been simply corrupt.

While I am not entirely excusing Obama by any means, (the analogy to JFK was way off the mark,and irrelevant to his point, for one thing), I do think there are many people of all colors who've at some time had to recognize they simply cannot mediate the experiences of their elders that result in deeply entrenched ways of thinking about such things -- forevermore. And at the same time, while they can understand the roots of that rhetoric and denounce it in the present, it isn't always easy to cast aside someone who, for all their massive faults, has also provided one with immense love, support, and encouragement. I wouldn't sit through such diatribes for even a minute, either, but then I'm not the one who owes this pastor a thing, even while I'm running for President. Sometimes one owes another person respect and loyalty for their many positive contributions to one's life, even while reviling their deep imperfections,and acknowledging with sadness that their past will always be their present. The hyperbolic, dramatic expressions of certain types of holy men of various faiths only adds to the blaze.

There's one fundamental difference between Obama and McCain with respect to religious crackpots. Obama has repudiated the endorsement of Farrakhan and been highly critical of his own pastor, whereas McCain (despite his early rejection of the Christian right) is now sucking up to lunatics who endorsed him, such as the millenarian fanatic John Hagee and that right-wing Christian extremist at the Columbus, OH, megachurch. In short, McCain is courting religious fanatics, whereas Obama is repudiating them. Score one for Obama.
