3. Nobody who attended Ebenezer Baptist Church in the 50s or early 60s would have had a snowball's ...
... chance in Hell to be elected to national office - or even surviving a primary election. It's testimony to how much the 'official' discourse has changed that people younger than about 40 have almost no concept how much MLKJr. was vilified repeatedly in the public media and by politicians.
Blowing the Reverend Wright dog-whistle is beyond offensive to those of us who vividly recall those days.
:puke:
That wasn't "moderation" by ABC ... it was an inquisition. Obama wasn't questioned; he was badgered. He was repeatedly interrupted and their notion of "balanced time" was to invite Hillary to pile on. (I am NOT an Obama "fan.") I don't see how any "fair-minded" person could view that travesty and even come close to thinking the public interest was served. That's the requirement ABC has to meet in order to use the public airwaves. They did NOT meet it.
