Tim Russert hammered Barack Obama during the debate Tuesday, demanding that he publicly denounce the support of Louis Farrakhan. Obama had no trouble with the denunciation since he had, in the past, provided just such a denunciation of Farrakhan's repulsive viewpoints.
But as Glenn Greenwald points out, Russert has never confronted Republican candidate John McCain because of the support he receives from the powerful zealot Christian, Pastor John Hagee, whose anti-Muslim, anti-gay biases have been well-documented. Even our own Creepy Joe™ Lieberman courts the support of Hagee.
I don't think it's about party. I think its about skin color.
