Today on Denounce and Reject

So much to denounce and reject, so little time. Today’s it’s Obama and his pastor. Tomorrow, Hillary and some inflammatory supporter TBA.

Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy. I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it’s on the campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright the statements by Rev. Wright that are at issue.

I don’t have the political memory that others do, but I can’t really remember a campaign season in which there has been so much to disavow, or such a media-driven demand for throwing people over the side.

Update: Rev Wright leaves Obama’s spiritual advisory committee.
