Reply #33: Randi is playing an extended excerpt from Wright's sermon now ... [View All]

In context, what Wright is saying makes sense. He's saying that Obama is more like
Jesus than many of the other candidates (including Hillary, but also Giuliani) in that
he's had to deal with being a societal "outcast."

This is going to challenge Obama but if he can deal with this effectively, it'll be a
huge step away from jingoism and toward this country facing up to its past (which is
essential before we truly move forward). Are we going to keep silencing people like
Wright, who speak the truth in essence but who are continually marginalized by being
taken out of context? Or are we going to quit letting the right wing tar and feather
people who dare to reveal the man behind the curtain?
