So it seems that everyone wants to act surprised about Rev. Wright as if it was some kind of well kept secret. I found an article from the Wall Street Journal by Gail Heriot written in August 27, 2007 about law school admission affirmative action which says
On the other hand, he really did walk the black activist walk, moving to Chicago for a few years to try to organize inner city blacks to get more goodies out of the government. And he has spent 20 years sitting in a pew at a leftist Afrocentrist church listening to the Rev. Wright stick it to whitey in his sermons. I've never seen much evidence that Obama, who spent his early 20s reading Nietzsche, believes in all that "I am the redeemer and the life" business. He's pretty upfront about his having to join a church because blacks don't trust ambitious atheists. And, he genuinely seems to get a major charge out of the racial exclusiveness and solidarity that he finds at his racialist church.
What I want to know is why has the media spent countless hours harping on this issue all of a sudden? Please comment. And if you want to read the rest of the article here is the link
