Still defending Wright

I’ve got a piece up at The Moderate Voice with a more in-depth articulation of my position on Jeremiah Wright.

Short version:

The historical movement shift of emphasis from “freedom and justice for all” to “tolerance” frees us to be intolerant of others, in this case Wright. Once marginalized, we don’t even have to ever address or deal with the substance of any of his arguments.

MEANWHILE.... Big Tent Democrat is betting on an 8 point win for Obama in NC.
