Do you not see, Senator. . .

. . .that this whole flap is about who you are, what you believe in, your values, judgment and experience? And, do you not see, Senator, that Tony Rezko's involvement in your campaign is yet further evidence that your values, judgment and experiences are not those that America needs or wants?

Do you not see, Senator, that one of the reasons that the sentiments expressed by your pastor/mentor/political ally in his sermons are so dangerous is that they cause your supporters to resort to the most half-witted rationalizations imaginable in a vain attempt at protecting you from their consequences?

And, do you not see, Senator, that the more you attempt to explain away the atrocious rhetoric of Rev. Wright through viral email campaigns, the more it legitimizes your connection to him, and undermines the authenticity of the very foundation of the campaign you have run?

And, do you not see, Senator, that by continuing to dismiss the importance of the abhorrent invective of the pastor you have turned to for spiritual and moral guidance for the past two decades as the meanderings of a wacky old "uncle", you are making fools of the hundreds of thousands of people who have donated to your campaign based on the notion that you will elevate our nation and its politics?

To persist in the charade that you are somehow above the politics that have divided this nation is to perpetuate a fraud on the American people. "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"
