New Republic says that Obama's preacher is a former Muslim

 
Anyone wondering how Obama's fiery preacher -- Jeremiah Wright -- could support terrorists like Hamas and virulent racists like Louis Farrakhan?

Wonder no more, Sparky. According to the New Republic, Jeremiah Wright is a former Muslim who somehow strayed from the "flock." While I suspect that most American Muslims would reject the agenda of Hamas and Farrakhan, Wright's bizarre attachment to anti-U.S. causes could very well be traceable to his one-time faith.

Irrespective of that lineage, Obama's campaign and the mainstream media appear to have done their best to obfuscate Wright's background. Gateway Pundit has more.
