I can't believe Hillary held out this long:
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a wide-ranging interview today with Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reporters and editors, said she would have left her church if her pastor made the sort of inflammatory remarks Sen. Barack Obama's former pastor made. "He would not have been my pastor," Clinton said. "You don't choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend."... "You know, I spoke out against Don Imus (who was fired from his radio and television shows after making racially insensitive remarks), saying that hate speech was unacceptable in any setting, and I believe that," Clinton said. "I just think you have to speak out against that. You certainly have to do that, if not explicitly, then implicitly by getting up and moving."
Allah gives great snark, asking if this might be enough to push Hillary's own lies off the top fold. It will, but since Obama's off in the islands taking a well earned breather from our national conversation on race, he gets to stay silent, which is really his only option anyway. And Hillary's attack here, like everything else she does, is calculated--a precision strike on the weakest elements of Obama's defense. She refocuses the debate on the fact that Obama never offered an explanation for why he sat in the pews of that church for 20 years without so much as a peep on all this--why he never spoke out, even within his own congregation, against the divisive, racist, and crackpot rhetoric of his preacher. And she focuses attention once again on Obama's ludicrous and insulting comparison of Wright to his own grandmother. Between his anti-Semitic preacher and his decision to throw grandma under the bus, Obama's gonna have problems in Florida.
