I disagree with thinking the timing is especially good for the republicans. Why not wait until he gets the nomination and then bring it out? Sean Hannity is really going to town with this. I guess I still am not as shocked about content of the sermons, although I do want their IRS status revoked as of right now..and same same for any church allows any politicians to take the pulpit as many have..have the politicians worship in church, get their pictures taken, solo with the choir, provide ham for the picnic (if that is allowed in their church/mosque/synogauge and is not held on Friday) and meet the congreation in a separate building after for coffee and political stuff.

And read Rush Limbaugh (I know some people actually don't like him but he can be quite astute)about how this harms the young people..constantly filling them with hate instead of saying here is the pathway to at least a modest life..stay off drugs, get a trade or profession, which can be even done at a good (or merely adequate..and if you can't do this in high school it is not an adequate school and should be taken over and run by the state)..high school, and do not get involved in a pregnancy before marriage...Instead they are filled with hateful, doomfilled messages, live in a sewer of doom, and the young men especially all too often..one is too many..end up in jail. It is all related. I hope Obama pulls out of this..I think he can use it as a teachable moment or whatever..but I can not get the sound..not what he is saying, just the awful awful sound...of that man's voice out of my head. Same with other preachers but this one has been on TV nonstop. Parsley is equally awful sounding.

Oh where is Father Mulligan when we need him? mg
