Meet The New Pastor ... Same As The Old Pastor...

clipped from www.powerlineblog.com Rev. Wright's successor is Otis Moss, who now leads the Trinity United Church of Christ. Rev. Moss is, of course, well aware of the controversy surrounding his predecessor. So he should have been well prepared for his interview on National Public Radio yesterday. Still, he was unwilling to distance himself from Wright's most irrational and noxious claims, including the ridiculous assertion that the United States government created the AIDS virus in a laboratory to kill African Americans. Instead of denouncing such ridiculous claims, he tap-danced around Rev. Wright's "narrative." Here is the relevant portion of the interview: Barack Obama says that he wants to bring Americans together and get beyond the divisions of the past. So why does he continue to associate himself with those who seem to think it's a trick question if you ask them whether the federal government created the AIDS virus?
