Somebody help me here...exactly what office is Reverend Wright running for, again? It's so confusing, with all of the attention that some groups have been giving this guy, you would think that what this guy says and believes might actually have some effect on the price of tea in China.
Just as everyone who voted for Duh (some of you were even fooled twice) can't possibly be held accountable for his war crimes, neither can a parishioner be held accountable for the words and deeds of their pastor.
I don't mean to defend the reverend but seriously, how many more news cycles are we going to allow to be filled with this non-story. Honestly, did every Catholic, or more specifically, every Catholic politician, denounce their faith when the altar boy molestation cover up was revealed? No? Then, according to the logic of some of the "news" organizations out there in cable land, these people must be in favor of molesting altar boys. There can be no other explanation.
As ridiculous as that sounds, that is exactly the "logic" being used right now to spin this "story". Can't we talk about issues? Or are we all too busy distancing ourselves from every third party who has ever said something that the media tells us we should disagree with? The hypocrisy is astounding.
