Wright and "middleclassness"

The Nightly Build...

Rev. Jeremiah Wright: Movin' on Up

Rod Dreher, in The Dallas Morning News' Opinion blog, tells us about the $1.6M house in a gated community that the Rev Jeremiah Wright is moving into in his retirement from Trinity Church, after preaching to his parishioners not to move out from the city to the suburbs, abandoning their urban community. Dreher exclaims, "Come on!"

Wow! Rod Dreher has uncovered another example of a religious leader acting hypocritically. That's kind of like shooting fish in a barrel, isn't it? Left unsaid is the implication that if Wright is a hypocrite, then Obama must be, too, by association, not by anything learned here about Obama's own words or deeds. Can we get back to talking about the issues, please. Or at least the candidates?
