This "Rev. Wright story" is about judgment and tolerance, and where does excessive tolerance turn into bad judgment. So nobody really cares or should care about the "typical white person" comment. The Senator tolerated the profession of extreme and wrong-headed views antithetical to most Americans for nearly 20 years without publicly or privately objecting. Now he wants to be seen as the leader to correct such wrongheadedness. He had the chance to start working on it with his own church and pastor and he didn't. Why should Americans think he's the man for the job now -- just because he says so? This comment is from someone who walked out of a Catholic mass and left that particular parish because of offensive comments made two weeks in a row by the same priest during a sermon.
