Obama throws pastor under the bus

Gee.  CF compares my belief in the core of what Rev Wright says to belief in Hitler... and IPLAW just spouts off all sorts of conservative elitist bull mularkey, signifying nothing...

Govenments lie.  So do lawyers.  And economists.

What did I write that was a lie?

I made it very clear that my example was absurd but was being used to make a point.  Do you take issue with that point or not?  Because you made no substantial refutation of anything I said

- the gist of which was that even if you agree with 80% of what someone says, the remaining 20% is often so damaging, false, or offensive that most people will disassociate from it.  The only things I have against Hitler were the massing killing of Jews, Roma, Gays, and other groups along with waging war for power and a general repression of civil and human rights where ever he had power.  That only reflected a small percentage of what he preached to the masses and in writing.

Fortunately, that small percentage was such an abomination that most people concentrate on it.  In spite of his 20 years spent building Germany into an industrial super power and taking the people out of poverty... those details just destroy his legacy.

Please tell me you understand the point I'm trying to make.  Wright is not Hitler, not even close.  Nor am I comparing you to Hitler.  I'm saying that 80% correctness is unacceptable if the remaining 20% are anything but abject opinions (say lies, bigotry, or the conspiracy theories).  

Sorry if you covered this in the middle of an article spam, I general don't read articles posted in their entirety.

Actually I invented the hyperlink shortly after Algore invented the internet.  I just thought it would be nice! []
