It has always been painfully obvious that the sargent figths for the clintons. Still, the sheer idiocy and arrogance of that post made me laugh loud on Sunday. That say, what else than arrogance and self-reference can be expected from a clinton person? They all do the same all the time.

Maybe Greg Sargent should go work with Stephanopoulus.

Thanks! Excellent post. That pseudo interview by greg sargent was almost as bad as the so-called debate.

Thanks for these! I hope someone has answers. I'd just like to add Chris Cillizza to the WaPo question.

Calling Obama Mr. President would be an honor of a kind that I have experienced in Politics.

Thanks so much! I am starting to feel sick about all this spin and hypocrisy. To tell you the truth, I think that the media does give a pass to hillary and assails Obama.

Thanks! Thanks so much for the common sense. All the spin about Wright is insane. This is a pastor talking to his congregation, not a politician talking to the media (Ferraro).

When I read much of the insane accusations that people have raised about this I conclude that

a) most of them do not attend religious services, do not practice a faith on a regular basis, and do not understand the relation between a person of faith and his/her mentor. This is a very profound connection that it is in spite of political ideologies or social ideals. That "in spite" can and does often make it stronger. You do not need to think the same and yet you can share and pursuit a spiritual path in spite differences that in other contexts would be somewhat poisonous.

b)many seem to think that because slavery is behind us and we are much better a people than before that has to automatically equate black and white experiences and feelings about it. I think that this approach is partially blind. Black folks of Mr. Wright age were called the N word and ignored by cabbies and much more way too many times. That does not excuse hate but makes anger understandable. Seems a bit arrogant all this outrage as if they could magically forget and heal all their life experience.

My late grandma and grandaunts had pretty horrible thoughts about every non-Jewish person born in Germany. Their parents had been killed by nazis. I did not agree and I found some manifestations of their Jewishness a bit extreme, but I got it. Why is it so hard to get it when it comes to old black people? Do you guys really think that they had it easy?

Thanks, really. It is so nice to read something rational, consistent and based on facts. All the senseless spin was starting to give me a headache.

¡Muchas gracias Noah!
