Jim:

I m sorry, but that is complete, unmitigated crap. The Reverend Wright has told you all 'bout who he himself is and nothing about who Obama is. Obama made the differences crystal clear in his repudiation of Wright's controversial opinions, and finally his repudiation of Wright himself. The question is why you choose not to understand, or believe, what he has said about the issue. For you to presume to know a different version of the truth about Obama's degree of influence by Wright than what Obama tells you himself -- to know Obama's secret self better than he himself does -- is the extreme of presumption and arrogance.

Because you are not operating on actual insight. You are operating on the intentionally stirred up blind emotional buttons that were pushed by Hannity and Co when they deliberately took Wright's videos and foreshortened them out of all context to make them look as wicked as they possibly could. And, like a good viewer, you accepted that as a real perspective on the man and have stuck with that moment of instilled fear ever since.
This is essentially a work of emotional fraud. Why buy it? And once you know what it is, why keep it?
