Link: The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan.

The great spiritual gift of Obama is that he has mastered this - not by suppressing it or denying it. But by confronting it, looking at it, expressing it, and channeling it to better ends. That some on the far right would now use this process of honesty as a way to describe Obama as a racist is a sign of their cramped hearts, frightened souls and utter inability to empathize. One day, they will feel ashamed. Right now, they simply have to be overcome.

But Sully is wrong. They won't feel ashamed. When you get your marching orders direct from God, shame is what you do to others.
