He even played a comedy clip that lampooned him. Looks like he got the message. However, what I still don't understand is why Obama & Clinton fielded those moronic questions about their religious beliefs without pointing out the disconnection between the questions and the job they are seeking. They are as much to blame as anyone else for such questions passing unchallenged.

Pfleger. I especially like his observation that even Jesus could be made to appear insane if some of his words were taken out of context and endlessly looped to a national audience. I keep struggling with the question of whom to blame for the vapid "reporting" we see on television: the corporate media executives who appear to be only concerned about profits, or the apathetic American public who appear to be only concerned about minimizing the use of their brain cells.
