Umm, No...

Carrie Budoff Brown sends over the transcript from Obama's appearance, airing tomorrow, on the Michael Smerconish Show on 1210 AM WPHT in Philadelphia, from audio the show provided.

In the interview, Obama says he's talked to Wright in the past about "some of his views," and defends Trinity, saying "This is not a crackpot church."

...I'm sorry but this is just a flat crazy assertion. It is most definitely a crackpot church. The problem is that large swaths of ostensibly Protestant Christianity (Trinity has just shone a spotlight on the scope of this disaster) has become indistinguishable from lunatic conspiracy theory and its close cousin -- radical Islam.

The Wright/Trinity award to the lunatic hater Farrakan is no mistake in this context. Merely more confirmation of what has now become obvious.

The issue is not that Obama is Muslim. The issue is that large swatchs of "Christianity" have become indistinguishable from Islam.

And that's the sad matrix that O is embedded in.
