Double Standard

Why does Rev Wright thinks he has a free pass to public scrutiny? Any logical intelligent thinking person knows that when one makes comments that have political interpretations often yields himself to public scrutiny. One does not have to be an elected politician to be a politician.

The irony of this whole issue is that when the "tough gets going" Rev Wright retrieves to the "race card." For someone to have the audacity to say that such criticism of his comments is an "attack" on black churches is insulting? This is the USA and we are allowed to criticise. We do not live is some socialist or communist regime that prohibits the free exchange of ideas.

The same can be said for Barack Hussein Obama. Some supporters have gone to suggest that those who criticise the senator as "racists." What in the world? There is not a magical carpet ride to the White House.

If Rev Wright or Sen Obama cannot take the heat then perhaps they should step aside and let representative democracy proceed.
