On Hillary, Rev. Wright and Basic Common Decency

I'm going to buck the conventional wisdom here that says Hillary Clinton crossed the line when she spoke today about Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

She was asked this question:

How would you have responded if your pastor had said some of the things that Rev. Wright has said?

Her response:

He would not have been my pastor.   You know, you don't choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend.  

I spoke out against Don Imus. I gave a speech at Rutgers University, saying that hate speech was unacceptable in any setting, and I believe that.  

So, for me, if I had been a member of such a church - Well, first of all, if I had sat there for twenty years, you all would have a lot to say, if someone had given comparable sermons.   I just think you have to speak out against that.  You certainly have to do it, if not explicitly, implicitly, by getting up and moving.
