Can someone tell me why when Howard Zinn writes about America's evils |
|
He is a hero to DU.
But when Obama's paster says almost the exact same thing, he must be silenced and its the end of the world?

1. It's not cause Zinn isn't black. |

It must be cause he's religious.
That's gotta be it.

2. Zinn is a hero to me. Obama's pastor seems like a pretty cool dude, too. |

5. But Wright is religious |
|
Ministers, Priests etc., all freaking hate sources and footnotes, it's like cryptonite to them.

9. Because Howard Zinn isn't affiliated with our nominee-to-be. |
|
Are are you really too dense to see the difference? This will be a real problem for Obama in terms of the general election.
Once you're running for office, you have to speak to the common denominator, not the fringes, or you scare off potential voters.

They get very upset when Democratic Candidates don't pander to Republicans.

Why is Obama's pastor being looked at, but none of the other's pastors?
