OMG, Wright in context. This is freaking incredible
I'm not saying that the powerful black man moving crowds won't still terrify some people, but when you hear this stuff in context it just shows how sick we've all become, and how everyone is out to destroy Obama. I mean how hard to you have to work to dig out incindiary 10 second clips out of rational, if controversial sermons.

Please watch!

I'm sicker than freaking ever over this.

1. I watched the Easter Sermon today.. still reeling from it. Yeah, I know
it wasn't Wright, but I'm guessing this is at least a miniature version of what kind of inspiration Wright could dish out.

If I could, I'd move to Chicago just to go to that church. Wow.. and yes, its absolutely sickening. But the congregation is making lemonade out of lemons and using it for good.

3. CNN, in context, made the church worse and scarier.
I don't like CNN's Rick Sanchez, anyway, being heavy-handedly anti-Obama always, and not smart enough to hide it better. He had on Ken Blackwell as critical of Wright. As SoS in 2004 Ohio, with disenfranchising, stealing and lying the election for Bush, no pious observer. Both tried to paint Black Liberation guiding principles of the church as some radical Black Power group-which it isn't. They are ghettoizing our man of grace.

When I heard issue would be in context, thought they'd attribute 'home to roost' to Adm Peck, but they played an extended G.. D.. America.

There is no winning on this debate, but I also saw The Speech replayed on C-span. I marveled how complex and directly delivered. Really amazing, but I am doubtful we can neutralize this by the time of the primaries. That worries me. Obama is making people face and work at something they'd rather forget, or before not really facing the challenge, as if bigotry was going to be worked on by someone else.

Wish I didn't believe that the Clintons had something to do with this edited tape and Fox gone viral, by their good friend Murdoch. Then expecting to get leverage and DNC nomination because of it.
