The Gift That Keeps on Giving

April 30, 2008

He’s back and perhaps more controversial than ever!  Who am I talking about?  Yes, our good buddy Rev. Jeremiah Wright.  If you have been following the news at all, you’ve probably heard him rehash his old anti-American sermons?  Personally, I’m getting sick of hearing what an important theologian this man is.  Give me a break.  Who decided that he was so important?

In all honesty, does it matter how much you have done or given to your community when you say things that he was videotaped saying?  Doesn’t that just kind of destroy all credibility?  Is it really a sermon to have a man behind a pulpit when he is ranting and raving and not really preaching the word of God?  I wonder.

According to George Will:

He is a demagogue with whom Obama has had a voluntary 20-year relationship. It has involved, if not moral approval, certainly no serious disapproval. Wright also is an ongoing fountain of anti-American and, properly understood, anti-black rubbish. His speech yesterday demonstrated that he wants to be a central figure in this presidential campaign. He should be.

We’ve seen that Wright doesn’t plan on fading into the background.  Perhaps he wishes to host his own form of reality TV.  But what is important is the fact that Obama voluntarily sat in that church pew week after week and wasn’t bothered enough to leave the church.  It doesn’t matter at this point if he castigates Wright and rejects him because his actions are stronger than his words!
