Out of all who have openly criticized Sen. Obama, for being a member of Rev. Wright’s former church where he made controversial comments that Sen. Obama repeatedly stated he didn’t hear and disavowed, how many are hypocrites?
How many present-day US Senators or Congressmen/women, business and civic leaders, who are in the mid-50s or older age group, actively supported and/or participated in Anti-Vietnam War protests, during the 60s and 70s; activities which included draft card and flag burning, violent civil disobedience, draft dodging and illegal drugs? How many attended rallies that displayed the North Vietnamese flag as a ‘flag of honor’ over and above the US flag? How many burned a draft card or flag or actively avoided the draft? During this time, unpatriotic and subversive rhetoric was pervasive and made Rev. Wright’s comments sound like lullabies. As young adults, how many heard this rhetoric and did not disavow it yet, decades later, profess to be staunch patriots and the epitome of responsible citizenship? If the shoe fits, look in the mirror before criticizing Sen. Obama.
The Holy Bible (King James Version 2000/Book of Matthew) provides the best advice:
“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again…………………..”
