Quoted from http://tbogg.firedoglake.com/2008/03/18/less-talk-more-rope/:
...And Stanley Kurtz thinks Obama ain't shed the taint:
Far from pulling a Hubert Humphrey or a Tony Blair and casting the radical left out of the party, Obama seems to see his job as getting the rest of the country to adopt a stance of relative complacency toward the most egregious sorts of anti-Americanism–all under the guise of achieving national unity. The real precedent here is Jimmy Carter sitting next to Michael Moore at the Democratic National Convention. Does Carter endorse everything Michael Moore says? I doubt it. If pressed, would Carter in fact condemn some of what Moore has said? Most likely. But in the end, Carter stood with Moore and put an acceptable face on what should in fact be considered unacceptable. Of course, even that doesn’t begin to compare to Obama’s decades-long association with Wright, and his decision, for years, to place Wright at the core of his political identity.
I too remember the success that former President Humphrey had went he cast out the DFH's. Those eight years of Humphreyism were awesome....
Michael Moore and Jimmy Carter? Someone's gonna have to explain the comparison to me 'cause I just don't get it.
