REVrant 36.10 - Pastor, Stop Talking...You're Making Matters Worse

CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time - Blogs from CNN.com.

By now, Rev. Jeremiah Wright is a household name in America.  He was Barack Obama’s pastor for over 20 years.  The church he pastored was Obama’s home church.  Some researchers (politically motivated, or not?) got video copies of past sermons in which Rev. Wright blasted the white establishment in America.  His comments are available via any Internet search engine, so I’ll spare you the laundry list here.  Short story – Rev. Wright’s anger, coarseness, conspiracy mindset, and “reverse-racism” are exposed in the video clips.

Until now, he’s been silent.  Not any more.  In the linked article you’ll read some of his recent remarks.  The whole time I was reading, I kept thinking, “Please stop talking, you’re only making matters worse.”  This controversy is not going to go away as long as the Rev. keeps talking, and from the text of this article I’m inclined to think that there’s no stopping him now!  I wonder what his former parishioner is thinking…

Heh, Obama's probably thinking gee, if only I had gone to a traditional church that preached the word of God instead of the hatred that Wright preaches.
