There is another current swirling in the background, particularly among conservatives. The argument goes: "If a white man went to a church that preached against Catholics or Jews, wouldn't he be obligated to disown that church for the hateful things being said?"
I've heard variations on this several times. Interesting how, in a rush to condemn Obama's membership in a church, the mainstream is conceding that adherence to tolerance supersedes faith.
I wonder if a candidate holding to any of the historic Confessions could get over the "hate-speech" hurdle these days.
