Guilt by Association

Right Wing Nut House succinctly sums up the suspicious individuals that Democratic presidential front-runner Barack Obama has been associating with over the years. One update to this entry is that the Obama campaign has let go of the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright. There was a firestorm of controversy over Wright's inflammatory sermons, with the flames being fanned by talk radio, over the past week. Sen. Obama has the tremendous advantage of not being beholden to "black leaders" such as Je$$e Jack$on or Al $harpton, so it would help if he cut off ties with Mr. Farrakhan as well.
