I wont bother. I dont believe the premise for the film. O is no different than your average liberal and I dont think he has some communist, anti-colonial, anti-US mission.
"O is no different than your average liberal..."

I don't know...I like to think that most liberals would not associate with the likes of Rev Wright. I keep coming back to that. You have to be a genuine radical to listen to that putrid bile for 20 years. I can't say whether Obama sat there because he liked what he heard or because he thought it would advance his political career in Chicago...either way, there's no one in that "church" who is not an extremist.

I'm not comparing Obama to Stalin or anything...but if someone chooses to embrace that "church", I'm pretty comfortable and confident sticking them with the label "radical extremist".

I'd put Obama near (or in) the radical fringe of liberalism...he's way left of center-left.
