That is the Republican talking point recently for Republicans when they defend Trump not correcting the record when a supporter stated that Obama was Muslim and was not even an American.
"What about Obama and Rev. Wright" was brought up. And "The first amendment gives anybody the right to say anything they believe." is the other talking point, Along with "not responsible for defending Obama."
It is all fine and well except for those pesky facts. And the worst part is those facts seem to be ignored by most.
Now, before I continue, I should let you know, this might be a long diary because I plan on addressing many things that I feel Democratic candidates need to do along with Democratic office holders.
I doubt any of either will read this diary, and I also doubt many people whatsoever will read this diary, but it is here for those that wish to share what I am about to say.
