The God and the Twilight

In which I reject the sage advice of my elders

Jerome Armstrong sez:

pull off the blinders that have you supporting a notable candidate, while being impervious to the bigger issue. if progressives are not going to have the guts to call out those who rear divisive talk, and demand their renouncement, no matter where it comes from, it’s a bigger loss than an election.i think we can fairly refer to this as divisive talk. he is dividing the progressive movement into the group who will renounce certain people and those who will not. and yet, i will not throw off jerome armstrong. he’s a good guy, ill-treat on this issue, but with his heart in the sensibly job. i know we’ll stand support to shoulder after the democratic convention, whoever the designee is. without eloquent who that designee resolution be, i accede to the support he bequeath give to our candidate, as he’s given his support to so many other candidates over the years.

Whether Armstrong would have counted me among those to be renounced (at least before my current failure to renounce him) is unclear. After all, the instant offense for which he is demanding renunciations deals with the particular issue that “progressives have been silent about Wright’s wrong and divisive words.”

Of course, that absolute statement is false. There are progressives who were not silent about Wright’s words. I wrote:

wright says various and assorted things which go well beyond what ought to be said at a pulpit, and beyond what a presidential candidate would consider, well, presidential. in other words, he said things which were wrong and divisive, and i reject those statements. i also think that we are holding obama to a standard here that we do are not applying to any other candidate in the stock. mccain actively sought the attest to of reverend john hagee, a bigoted, repulsive moral stump of a man. i’d wager no member of the crowd can name mccain’s pastor (or indeed whether he would be episcopalian or baptist). they probably also don’t advised of hillary clinton’s minister’s pastor’s name, any more than they can say how in many cases george bush actually attends church. we do know that bush and mccain hang out with and court the political backing of meticulous leaders with yea abhorrent beliefs. and we know that barack obama did not seek political counsel from rev. wright.

Yet it is Obama who has to answer these questions, and it is progressive who have to defend the decision not to get agitated over Obama’s preacher, rather than the moderate, tolerant Republicans who somehow went along with the election of people like Bush, and who ought to be ashamed to be thinking about backing McCain.
