Re: Obama's Incredible Denial Concerning His Pastor

I think PramJockey's point is that there shouldn't be a double-standard. If people are going to chastise Obama for his affiliations with religious figures, then they must chastise McCain for the same things. If Obama's affiliation with a preacher (that makes reprehensible comments) makes Obama reprehensible by association, then McCain's association with a preacher (that makes reprehensible comments) makes McCain reprehensible by association.

The more reasonable solution, in my opinion, is that neither should be chastised for their religious associations unless they suggest that they will run this country as a theocracy.

But if you disagree with Obama's loyalty to his church, that's your business.
