Schilling comes to Obama's defense

Curt Schilling is known as a Republican booster who may harbor future political ambitions, so I was surprised that he rose to Barack Obama's defense when Schilling chatted with WEEI's Gerry Callahan this morning. (Then again, Callahan makes some conservatives seem positively liberal by comparison.)

In short, Callahan was scorning Obama over the Reverend Wright stuff. Schilling responded by saying it was past time to move on, and that there's a qualitative difference between the candidate making comments and someone he knows having done so. Callahan, of course, didn't buy it. Still, it was interesting to hear this perspective coming from a dyed-in-the-wool conservative such as Curt.

    see-you "progressives" always heel to a "party line"-we conservatives are a little more independent of thought-i could s**t care less about Wright-I have five reasons not to vote for Obama; 1:gun control fanatic 2:wants amnesty for all illegal aliens 3.supports murder of infants(sorry-i meant to say partial birth abortion) 4:raise taxes on anyone(except trust fund babies like kennedy and whitehouse)who makes more than $50,000 a year 5:wants to re-create the 1975 holocaust in SE Asia by pulling out of Iraq overnight Joe Bernstein

    Dennis & Callahan are the alleged sports talk act now that The Score is gone. They're basically a righty circus act - having Schilling and Tom Brady on weekly during their seasons is the fig leaf allowing them to continue to call themselves sports talk hosts. These are the guys who referred to a black kid in Boston photographed waiting for a bus to a suburban high school as a METCO gorilla. If I want to hear conservative frothing at the mouth, I'll put on John DePetro - at least he's local.

    Curt, despite his faulty brain-to-mouth filter, seems like a reasonable guy. So I'm not surprised he has a reasonable perspective on the Wright/Obama issue, rather than joining the partisan noise machine that, when it looks at a grape under a magnifying glass, sees a watermelon.
