To quote the article - WASHINGTON -- Barack Obama has run a campaign based on a simple premise: that words of unity and hope matter to America. Now he has been forced by his charismatic, angry pastor to argue that words of hatred and division don't really matter as much as we thought.

You can tell the writer is a liberal by what he is saying. Pursuant to the latter article, is laws against gays a bad thing? Spanking children a bad thing? The laws of God (which our country was founded on) a bad thing? The writer thinks so.

I just let articles roll off my back and use it as an indicator to what people think.

I had hoped after the first sentence, the author would expound on the idea that people don't want words of unity and hope, but would rather hear about how great America is and that we the little people and our families are what make it great.
