The O'Naif Liar

clipped from online.wsj.com
AIDS is a U.S. government plot: An oldie but a goodie. "I believe our government is capable of doing anything," Wright said.
 


Obama did, finally, denounce these comments specifically. But what particularly angered him was the suggestion that Obama is insincere. Well, we all know the real enemy is cynicism!

So, was Obama sincere? Did he spent 20 years as an intimate of Wright and a parishioner of his church without ever having an inkling that the guy is a wacko hatemonger?

If so, can you think of anything more terrifying than sending such a naïf to the White House while there's a war on?

Where They Agree
Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright seem to agree that Wright speaks for black America:


 Obama, March 18: "I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community."
 

 Wright, April 28: "This is not an attack on Jeremiah Wright. It is an attack on the black church."
