^^I wish I could ignore it, but my feelings are really hurt. And for me, it is not the Obama-Wright thing, because I maintain that what Rev. Wright says and does really has no bearing on who Obama is; Rev. Wright is just the latest in a long line of scare tactics that the media has used to attempt to derail Obama's campaign. It's that Rev. Wright has been slandered and villified by the media, and I can sympathize with his attempts (finally) to defend himself while k.i.m.
@Chaos: But he has always been just this socially/politically engaged. He really is just being Jeremiah Wright, no more, no less; only now, there are a bunch of cameras in his face. I still wonder if they would have been at the NAACP meeting had he not been there. While I regret that this is being used to attack Obama, I have to say that if it were a difference between me continuing to live my life and do me(because Rev. Wright did decline interviews for a good while) or hiding away for the next seven months, I would keep living my life.
What is interesting to me is that no one has mentioned or even discussed the idea of preaching as performance.
