I'm tired of the demands for apologies, the constant denouncing and rejecting, and the endless stream of campaign purges. It's time for the candidates to define themselves by what they think, and it's time for the inept media to return to real journalism and stop asking candidates about an endless stream of supporters they disagree with. Will McCain renounce Hagee, Parsley, and Oliver North? Will Obama renounce Samantha Powers, William Ayers, Louis Farrakhan, and Rev. Wright? Will Clinton renounce Geraldine Ferraro, or remarks by Bill Shaheen or her husband? This game of six degrees of separation from offensiveness is not only a distraction, but it also has a devastating impact on free speech.
