| It's depressing. Whatever Wright says or does to demonstrate to any sensible person that he is not a hate-filled ogre, the conservative talkers will simply keep on saying that he is a hate-filled ogre, and a lot of credulous people will believe it. It's really hard to say whether it is better for Obama if Wright speaks up or stays quiet. If I thought that people were sensible, and would actually listen to what he has to say, then I would say he should speak up. But I honestly don't know. |
