What Is American and What Isn’t?

Consider this a quickie. Read Desert Beacon’s exceptional post on the problem that endorsements present for McCain and Obama, and the latent racism of “movement conservatism.” Is gay hating more American than damning the United States for real or perceived racism? I’m not going to wade into those waters, but I do think its important that Obama has made the effort to denounce the statements of Jeremiah Wright while John McCain has done nothing of the kind. While I don’t think its fair to hold presidential candidates responsible for every crazy that endorses them, but you have to acknowledge hate speech from those you have claimed a connection too.

John McCain has not denounced the support of the anti-Catholic Reverend Hagee or Rod Parsley:

Obama has “strongly condemned” the statements of Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

What did Reverend Wright say that wasn’t true?
