Rangel on Wright & Religion

"Interfering" in the "sacred relationship" of pastor and parishioner will "come back to haunt us?" But there is no sacred relationship between McCain and Hagee -- only political calculation and expediency.

And the fact is that if Republicans want to play the guilt-by-association-with-wacky-preacher game, in the long run and perhaps the short run as well it can't help but benefit the Democrats... small consolation for enduring the racial pornography of Wrightgate, but consolation nonetheless. The one proviso is that the media does not operate using a double standard.
