January 28, 2010 The New Jeremiah Wright?
Barack Obama's reading habits and sources of news have been revealed in a recent Washington Post article: The article mentioned only one blogger by name that President Obama read: Andrew Sullivan. The Atlantic's Sullivan is notorious for his tirades against Israel, Americans who support Israel, calumnies against Jews who try to influence US policy, and for his long-running denunciations of AIPAC.
Sullivan also supported the notorious Chas Freeman for chairmanship of the National Intelligence Council and the Walt-Mearsheimer "thesis" on why Congress supports Israel (it's the nefarious, diabolical Jews).

One can read the letter by clicking on the above URL. But the more revealing aspect is the signatories. They include not only McCarrick but also this cast of characters (including a sprinkling of left-wing rabbis):
