I read someplace, well on Huffington Post, today (I seldom do that but I am glad I did it today) that those filthy people at Fox News didn't allow us to see the whole speech of Jeremiah Wright when he damned America twice. They provided only that one small little bit and the good folks at HP had much more of it so we could see his words in context. Following I heard more racist, American hating speech than I ever knew he was capable of. If you would like to hear what Huffington Post calls the context of him damning America here is what they think we need to know.

While Jeremiah Wright damned America verbally, I believe Obama is taking a more literal approach!

Yes, I thought Rev Wright did an excellent job on conveying his message.

You would think like that. If you had listened to his words you may have heard what he actually said. Try it some day.

I agree but he seems to be using what Rahm Emanuel tells him to say all the time so he may not be as bad as we think. Then again . . . . .

Yes. And we seem to be missing the rest of the "Tora! Tora! Tora!" speech from the Japanese Imperial Air Force. Could you help me research this for the full context, and see what their real intentions were?

I'm sure they were just hoping for a free Hawaiian vacation giveaway.

That is the best laugh I have had since I came on less than an hour ago. You put it very well.

Would this mean you support the assertions of our founders that separation of church and state is needed, or is it OK when evangelical fundamentalists do it? I seem to recall McCain and Palin aligning themselves quite a bit. So we can turn this into the battle of the churches???

I'm religious and offended by politics of any sort in ANY pulpit. No money changers allowed!

Weak, we now have teleprompter and special olympics comment. I guess since there isn't enough to complain about lately lets bring back Rev. Wright. Guess republicans aren't concerned about 2010 or 2012? I get the impression that the towel has been thrown.

You might view America just a weee bit different if you were in Rev Wrights shoes, ya think? Don't be so naive.
