Re: Obama's Incredible Denial Concerning His Pastor

It's strange how everyone's already made up their mind about Wright based on a snippet of his words.

If anyone would like to reserve judgement until they hear the words in context, here is the entire "America's Chickens Have Come Home to Roost" sermon. (Consequently, that whole chickens coming home to roost business was cited in the sermon as being an original quote from a retired U.S. ambassador Edward Peck.)

(Incidentally, I don't agree with the heading of the clip that news agencies lied. They merely sampled the most egredious sound bytes without providing any context.)

Seeing it in context, the comments are still quite off the wall. Certainly still inflammatory... But I do have to say, it's much less shocking. Especially to know that most "Anti-American" part of the speech came from a former U.S. Embassador and not the pastor himself.
