There is no waythose statements can be justified or become acceptable even if washed and diluted by six oceans of context . Another defense offered is that critics do not understand the black church . As Larry Elder ,a black talk show host said,"Rev.Wright sounds like a combinationof David Duke ,Minister Farrakhan,and Moe of the Three Stooges. This would be a scandal and an association that would wipe out most candidates ,but the mainstream media is acting as a campaign manager and cheerleader for Obama. In one of the great journalistic disgraces and failures in American history ,the mainstream media has allowed Obama to reach the brink of the nomination without any vetting until now
