In one of George Macdonald Frazier's "Flashman" books, Harry Flashman is watching a public hanging. The man next to him suggests that he watch not the hanging itself, but the reaction of his fellow Britons to it; he promises that it will be far more entertaining and enlightening.

Similarly, the point that a lot of people are missing is not Michael Pfleger's racist hate speech from the pulpit of Barack and Michelle Obama's church, but the enthusiastic reaction of the Obamas' fellow congregants. These are the people with whom the Obamas have gone to church for twenty years.

This is an excellent point. It cannot be overemphasized.
