Obama’s Pastor

Is this a big deal?

On the one hand, I don’t think it’s fair to hold any man accountable for another man’s words.  After all, Obama has not been recorded spewing such virulent hate about whites, black Republicans, and America.  Obama can’t be blamed for this moron’s filth. 

On the other hand, Obama has not disavowed or criticized his pastor’s hate.  And, it’s not just that this was one pastor at his church.  This was the pastor who married him and baptized his kids.  That’s a bit of a closer relationship.

In the end, perhaps Rachel Lucas had the best take, as usual:

But whatever. When a racemonger is on a roll, it’s best to just sit back and enjoy. Because I think the real point of this is that Obama’s mentor, the pastor who married him and baptized his children, is a flaming dickhead. Which should and does reflect extremely poorly upon Obama.
