I'm sorry, don't remember anything like the intesity of this.

I'm an Episcopalian, but I grew up in the Southern Baptist church. I
remember many, many sermons that talked about how America will pay for
it's sins.

See, that is the difference. I don't see how the snippets of Wrights
sermons are racist or anti-american, taken in context.

Drew, the following has nothing to do with your post:

I really think that people are sticking with the "Obama's a muslim",
"Obama's ministers comments" and the new "Obama's an elitist" themes
to cover their racism.

I'm so sick of hearing code words. I really think that the polls are
wrong, people are embarrassed to say to a pollster that they will not
vote for a black candidate, but they actually won't vote for one. It's
going to be an interesting campaign.

Maybe this country will finally get it's third party.
