wright is wrong...and i eat my words.

Juuuust a little follow-up to a previous post I wrote about Reverend Jeremiah Wright.  The post was about how I DIDN'T want to talk about Wright the man- but about the actual words of his 'controversial' sermon, many of which I didn't find controversial at all.  

Well now, real quick, I WOULD like to talk about Wright the man. 

What an effin' douche bag.  What kind of ego-maniac do you have to be to make some of the statements and speeches this 'man of god' has made?  Though I still stand behind my previous post and believe that the words of Reverend Wright's speech deserve more discussion than the man himself or his  relationship to Obama, I would now also like to add that Reverend Wright is a manipulative, arrogant, bitter old cobweb of a man.  Clearly, the 'powers'  and 'moral authority' he has been given by years of preaching to his eager congregation of sheep worshipers has gone to his head.  That kind of hubris is usually reserved for rich white men with radio shows, but it looks like Jeremiah Wright has been drinking the Koolaid.   

What happened to turning the other cheek?  What happened to friendship?  What happened to taking one for the team?  It is one thing to stick up for yourself- I watch Lifetime Television for women and Enough is enough.  But the cocky, disparaging tone Reverend Wright employed during his speech was more reminiscent of Don King than Martin Luther.  His speech was a betrayal of Obama, a betrayal of his Christian beliefs and, if Obama loses, perhaps a betrayal of the American people.  This week, Reverend Wright showed his true colors- and they had nothing to do with his skin.
