I agree. That one quote (genocide) is the only one that troubles my inner reality-checker.

If Dianavan means that lots of mudcatters could believe that statement - that's fine because we are old cranks sitting around in our underwear or pajamas ranting on the internet. Wright is held, appropriately, to ethical standards and accountability. Throwing out genocide conspiracy theories for shock or entertainment value or whatever, or for the truth of the statement, gives him great responsibilities for follow through against a corrupt government that indeed must be overthrown. It is one HELL of a statement for a community moral leader to posit before people retire for cookies and punch in the cafeteria.
