you can also choose your husband
And whilst we're on the subject of things that actually are OK to say, even if some people think they're not:
"I think given all we have heard and seen, he would not have been my pastor," Clinton said in a news conference in Greensburg, Pennsylvania..."You don't choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend".
Cue outrage from the liberal, largely Obama-supporting blogosphere. But what on earth is wrong with Clinton's comment? The Wright affair is not some terribly private matter that only Obama can comment on. Nor should it be cordoned off as a no-go area because it 'injects race' into the debate. Race is already there. And as Obama seems to agree, the worst thing we could do is pretend it's not. Clinton's comments are well within the bounds of legitimate (implied) criticism.
Can't everybody stop taking umbrage for a while? Let's pretend there's a world shortage. If you see some umbrage, leave it be.
I can't believe you would have missed this scintillating piece of political detail

I suspect the outrage has more to do with perceptions about Hillary Clinton's hypocrisy than whether that particular comment has crossed some line.
I do think it did, actually. Aren't Christians supposed to leave the judging up to God?

We can be sure if Obama does win, the Wright affair will have a lot more mileage and the tapes will reach every living-room in the USA
