I used to work in the Civil Rights movement, and sadly, I met several guys with attitudes similar to Wright's..(without the overlay of 'reverend', thankfully)

If Wright was not connected to Obama, we'd probably not hear of him, and it is beyond ridiculous to paint Obama with shadows of this man's rhetoric! The **MEDIA** is creating a self-fulfilling hypothesis with its rhetorical questions.."Can his ex-pastor's ideas derail Obama's campaign?"

Obama has SAID he disavows Wright's ideas...but there sure are those who feel that keeping this issue alive might hurt him. I wonder who that might be? (he said cynically)
