BREAKING: Obama Found To Have A Pastor; Possibly NOT A Muslim

What a dilemma for the wingnuts.

After months of hard work building the case that Hussein al-Osama is some kind of stealth Islamic Raymond Shaw, someone at ABC News dug up a five-year old sermon Jeremiah Wright gave in which he said, "God damn America."

And like the Pavlovian simpletons they are, the wingnuts have temporarily abandoned the "Osama al-Hussein" storyline and pivoted right into "Obama’s an angry black militant."

It goes without saying that the crowd which for the past 30 years has embraced a bunch of theocratic, flatearther, homophobic, snake-handling, anti-Catholic, anti-woman, anti-science, anti-everyone-but-white-American-evangelicals— and whose nominee currently seeks their approval and endorsement — has absolutely no moral standing whatseover to object to anyone else’s inflammatory religious rhetoric. Ever. Period.

But Obama’s response today was perfect:

Obviously, I disagree with that. Here is what happens when you just cherry-pick statements from a guy who had a 40-year career as a pastor. There are times when people say things that are just wrong. But I think it’s important to judge me on what I’ve said in the past and what I believe.

But if the wingnuts really want to play this guilt-by-association game, they’ll lose. We’ve got lots more ammo.
