No idea

Although Wright was saying pretty nutty stuff right after 9/11--and yes, other preachers also made vile statements like those of Graham. Obama may not have attended recently but he was married there, had his daughters baptized there, etc., etc., so it's not as if he had no idea what kinds of things were being preached at TUCC.

As you know, anti-gay statements from religions across the spectrum are pretty much standard (and Obama is unique in that he has condemned such things--another point in his favor). Sure there are a few 'progressive' churches that don't but they are the exception. On that score I have no idea where Wright stands, but there's not much redeeming about him at this point anyway.

For some, the association of Obama with Wright will be damaging. But fortunately for Obama the timing is excellent: he has the nomination wrapped up but its months before the general--plenty of time for the issue to die down.
