Let's face it, had a white man said the things Wright has said but about blacks there would be people in the streets with torches and pitchforks. Look what happenned to Don Imus last year. Al Sharpton was in a frenzy over that but funny I have not seen him comment on Wright. The left bends over backwards to cut people like Wright slack and it's just plain wrong.
Wrights words run the bases. He covers everything. Reverse Racism, anti Americanism, anti semitism, conspiracy theories, etc. Not to mention his association with Farrakahn.
For Obama to stand by this man after calling for Imus to be fired last year shows us where he really stands.

Couldn't agree more, Wright said many hateful things. Out of this has come some things Obama himself said about racism in America that certainly makes one wonder how he is fit to heal the racial divide. If Imus is going to be called to task then Wright needs to be even more so since what he said is far worse. Obama has taken different sides in Wright vs Imus and needs to be called on it.
