A Curious Side Thought

Ever notice how some are wringing our hand about Obama's minister's inflammatory statements without pausing to ask if there's any merit to the assertions?

Statements like this have been said for as long as I can remember, ergo a group of people must deeply believe them.

If the statements were patently untrue, they would be thoroughly discredited and discussion no longer considered. But they are not. They are maintained in a manner that approaches condescention.

If those statements wrong, why do we refuse to challenge them?

Wouldn't you?
