Here is Philip Weiss's take. I heard Gingrich this morning saying that Obama was unqualified because he had never confronted his pastor and denounced him. This is neocon baloney, of course, based on the idea that our first duty, in church or out, is to worship the US state. I've heard celebrants endorse the welfare state, Bush's wars, etc. Was I really supposed to straighten them out? Or is it our place in church to worship the Lord, and concentrate on our own faults rather than others'?
