The Reverend Fred Phelps is a bigot and by the media’s definition homophobic. Suppose a presidential candidate, say the late Pat Paulson, was member in good standings of Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church, Our ever vigilant media, after twenty years, just now discovers that Paulson has been a member of Phelps’ congregation.
In response, Paulson repudiates Phelps and leaves the WBC. Would that suffice? Would repudiation absolve Paulson? I say no. No fox will spend twenty years in a hen house unless he likes chickens. Would the GLT population accept Paulson? Should they?
Jeremiah Wright is a racist and has been Barack Obama’s minister since 1991. Whether mere repudiation alone will do is a academic question. Obama has not even done that much yet. Mrs. Barack Obama, Michelle, is a racist. Obama’s minister is a racist. Anybody up o making that case the Barack Obama is not a racist?
