anymore than a bite of just an appetizer is a full meal. Pastor Otis Moss II of Trinity United Church of Christ puts it in perspective.

Things take a slightly different perspective when viewed in the right context.
Whether one agrees with Reverend Wright or not, it seems to me that he has been unfairly demonized to make a media controversy.
Watch Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s 9-11 sermon in context on youtube and decide.

Jeremiah Wright’s God Damn America in context on Youtube
I “can’t” believe FoxNews and CNN had the full sermon of Rev. Wright. Yet you chose to only show that 30 second sound bite over and over, and over, and over, and over again to mislead and disrupt this election because it doesn’t fit your view of conservatism. You have raked Sen. Obama over the coals for the words of someone else and those words, were taking out of context to inflame the country and you have raked Rev. Wright over the coals on a 30 second sound bite.
Your company is no better than the KKK, where as your hatred and racism is spewed over the television, the web and radio and the KKK spewed their hatred and racism behind sheets and a burning cross. Money is the root of all evil and it is rearing it’s ugly heads in your comapny’s case.
Your company’s half truths are reprehensable and inexcusable. This country is in “turmoil” and you spend months on a story that has no merit or basis because those words weren’t Sen. Obama’s words. “You” nor anyone else know what is in anyone’s mind, unless now you’re psychic. Sen. Obama is the only one that has brought millions and millions of people out to vote in this election. Where else in your life have you seen this type of reaction the people to get involve in the election process.
Today, we have lost 4000 of our women and men in a war over Bush’s retaliation motive to get back at Sadam Hussein for what ever he did against his father. We were fighting Afghanistan, he pulled the soliders from there and moved them to Iraq.
LET’S GET BACK TO THE ISSUES AT HAND WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND FOCUS ON: ECONOMY (Gas Prices, Heating Oil, Food)
IRAQ
CHINA, S. KOREA, RUSSIA, PAKISTAN AND ALL THE COUNTRIES BUILDING WofMD RIGHT NOW.
HEALTHCARE
JOBS
FEDS BAILING OUT BEAR STEARNS AND NOT THE HOMEOWNERS; etc; etc.
Report accurate NEW’s, that’s a concept don’t you think?
The most disappointing thing about the Rev. Wright incident is the complete failure of our news media. I was familiar with Wrights preaching before the brouhaha, so when it happened I was truly puzzled. How could anyone draw an opinion of a mans, and especially a pastors words with just a 10 second sound bite, and from that sound bite draw the conclusion that the speaker is hateful, or a racist. I knew then that no one who did actually had seen or read a Wright sermon.
What was insidious about the Rev. Wright story is that every report of those videos on TV, and in the reports of print media the description of the sermons as hateful etc were repeated over and over again. Many Americans view the reports of the media as actual truth. So regardless now of the actual context and meaning of his words he will be forever thought of as hateful and the career of a stalwart man of God is forever sullied.
That should disturb me, but I think I can estimate the heart of the Rev Wright. If only one soul is saved by hearing more than just 10 seconds of the word of God he will consider the condemnation worth it. That the storm over his sermon led to Obama’s speech on race he would consider a blessing.
These so called responsible journalist and not just those who represent the right wing owe both the American people and the Rev. Wright an apology, and the pledge to refrain from viral journalism.
