You never heard of Rev. Wright's racist statements, where have you been?

Obama stayed in his church for 20 years.

So what? Are you saying that everone that went to Wright's church is a racist? Please explain how Rev. Right is racist. Have you gone to the church and heard his sermons?

Good Sense: Compare Garbage After Tea Party Vs. Obama Inauguration
The Obama had over a million people in attendance and the tea party had about 70,000, big difference.

(Please don't tell me that the 912 group had a million, they did not. Had they had that many, there would be the stench of urine in the streets because they didn't have the facilities to cover that many people)

They're about the same. Wright isn't as bad as the media makes him out. The comments repeatedly played in sound bytes were not only devoid of context, but few and far between. He seems to have some racial bitterness problems (understandable for someone who grew up in an era where antagonism between blacks and whites was very high) but I do not believe he has any real racial hatred. Likewise, the teapartiers aren't quite as bad as some of my fellow Democrats say. There is some racial prejudice, but most of it stems from ignorance and fear stoked by right-wing media rather than hatred.

unfortunately racism has been redefined as WASP behavior.
rev wright is merely "outspoken".
