I’m amused by how CNN is reacting to all this. On Sunday night, they were making him out to be a great guy. On Monday night, they were making him out to be a disaster. They had the rug pulled out from under them.
The liberal establishment is unravelling.
Based on todays reports I may have called it WRIGHT!
can you PLEASE tell me what page this is on:
From Audacity of Hope: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
“I'm shocked, shocked to find hate mongering going on in my church”
“I'm disavowing the usual suspects”
UPDATE AND CORRECTION: From reader Dan, with thanks:
The actual quote from the book is from page 261 and is as follows: “Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
