It used to be something one said in public. Then something said in private. Now something that one's supporter says in public. Is the lesson that one can't align with someone one disagrees with? If so, we've reached a sad point.Ron Davisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11972794876337195698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13075276.post-18131855902167070632008-03-15T12:17:00.000-04:002008-03-15T12:17:00.000-04:00Your blog was actually the first I had heard of th...Your blog was actually the first I had heard of the scrutiny on Rev. Wright. Scary fro two reasons: (1) as thomaslb said, I really dislike the way people are judged from single comments/incidents.

It's possible that 99% of what he has said over the course of his lifetime is reasonable and peaceful.<BR/><BR/>This is an era where everything everybody ever said or did is recorded forever. Somehow, we're going to have to find way to judge people in their entirety, not just from sound-bites provided by their enemies.<BR/><BR/>As for Bush-Cheney, I would like to believe they are simply rogue elements, but I don't think they could have accomplished the evil things they've done without a lot of support and complicity. I am not confident that new elections will change anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
