Colbert Tackles the Obama/Wright Controversy

I love Stephen Colbert's ability to cut through the BS and get straight to the point. Last night was no exception. Colbert's "Word" last night, "The Gospel of John," laid bare the hypocrisy of the Right in this entire matter of Barack Obama's relationship with his controversial pastor. As the website describes it, "Stephen thinks Obama could learn something from McCain who is now friends with angry pastors." It's must-see TV.

While we're on the topic of hypocrisy and the Right's reaction to Obama's incredibly moving (and much-needed) speech, take a few minutes to read Hart Williams' take on the matter. He lays out in the open the undercurrent of racism that remains to be purged from our society. And it's really much worse than you want to think it is.
