In a Republican, a relationship with someone who has even the slightest tint of bigotry means political death. You don't get to say "look at the good he's done for the country," or "look at how well he's served his state for many years." You don't get to say "what a nice person he is" or "He's been so good to our family."
That Republican is a dead man walking.
I've given specific examples already. There are many more.
Obama, with his selection of a church, probably tried to play up to the current Democratic black political culture which is, frankly, close to psychotic at this point. Make a list of Democratic black political leaders and take a look at it sometime.
It backfired on him, because he forgot that when he runs for president he's got to impress someone besides the population of Chicago's South Side or the Congressional Black Caucus.
When he ran for Senator, he ran against Alan Keyes, who entered the race three months before the election. If a cement block were a Democrat, it could have beaten Alan Keyes.
Obama has never been in a real election.
Looked at objectively, Obama may have a point about balancing someone's views of a person. But objectivity has never been a factor on this kind of thing in the past, and if this whitewash sells with liberals, I will damn well remember it.
