| Why wasn't George W. Bush subject to this type of criticism?
Should we even begin listing divisive, bigoted quotes of evangelical leaders who threw their support fully behind Bush and to whom Bush pandered as one of their own?
Oh, that's right. They're white, powerful, and rooted in the conservative tradition. When they blame 9/11 or Katrina on homosexuals, they are not attacking America. They are attacking what's wrong with America. When Rev. Wright blames the government for AIDS (I have actually read a scholastic report that there is a cure for AIDS but it is being suppressed - so I have no idea) or 9/11 or whatever, he is pointing his finger at the immoral behavior entrenched in the status quo - but that is what they perceive to be everything right with America. |
