I apparently haven't made my position clear. Stop writing to me. Lawrence From: lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John McCreery Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2008 9:30 PM To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: More on Obama's church Lawrence writes, Just remember, the candidate you like got 17 years of hate from Jeremiah Wright In response I observe that the candidate I like has publicly repudiated the hate, denouncing as well as rejecting his pastor's statements. The candidate whom Lawrence defends must either do likewise or be held accountable for what her pastor preaches. Likewise for her behavior, which based on yesterday's newspapers appears to be at least as atrocious that of George Bush when it comes to mismanagement of public finances and rank cronyism. Whatever it was she learned at church--something of course quite different from what the church may preach--it clearly included neither prudence nor justice. I trust I make my position clear. John .
