How many Republicans have had to apologize, to atone, to beg forgiveness, for daring to speak at Bob Jones University? It’s quite a large number, folks.

You want to talk about double standards, here? You want to talk about this whole notion of guilt by association? The double standard here is that if Obama’s name were Romney, and if the pastor were preaching hate against blacks and associated with neo-Nazis rather than Khadafy, he would be disqualified for president. He would have been drummed out of this campaign long ago.

Romney made the point yesterday. He was victimized because he was a Mormon, victimized by liberal media. Not because his religion or his minister preached hate or segregation or so forth but just because his faith was different from the faith of most others. And this guy, Jeremiah Wright, is corrupting Christianity like I can’t believe.

What he’s preaching is not Christianity.

Found a story from Cybercast News Service, February 29th of 2000:

“Democrats pushed for a resolution Tuesday to condemn Bob Jones University, the Christian School in South Carolina that has been at the core of an uproar involving Republican candidate George W. Bush. The resolution introduced in both the House and the Senate likely to cause a partisan fight with Republicans, most of whom are backing Bush. Democrats insisted lawmakers have a duty to denounce Bob Jones University. Some complained that Bush’s apology didn’t go far enough because he didn’t address the school’s position on minorities. ‘I think it’s important for the Congress of the United States to have the last word,’ said Bob Torricelli, Democrat New Jersey. Added Harry Reid, ‘George W. Bush’s stop at Bob Jones University has turned over a rock under which has lived all sorts of bigoted practices.'”

I had forgotten this. The Democrats in the House and Senate offered a resolution to condemn Bob Jones University.

We have another presidential campaign going on here, and we’re being told, “It’s no big deal, why do we have to cover it, it’s just guilt by association. You can’t hold him accountable, what are you trying to do? Work everybody up into a tizzy? This just isn’t right. You just shouldn’t be doing this.”

These people on the left do politics in a very aggressive way, and they try to stay on offense as much as possible. I’m sick and tired of being on defense. I want to go on offense as well and play the game by the rules and the customs and the traditions that they establish.

So if they can come after religious institutions on the right, we can certainly ask these questions of Barack Obama.

Senator Obama, tell us one of the favorite things that you’ve heard Jeremiah Wright say. Of the sound bites that played, the past two days, tell us, Senator Obama, what are your favorite comments that he has made? What do you love the most that has been said by your pastor, your mentor, your spiritual advisor? Is it where he says the country is run by rich white people? Is it where he says the United States invented AIDS? What is your favorite thing, Senator Obama, uttered by your pastor?

Just trying to help clear these things up for the liberals, before the convention…
