Rev. Wright is an intelligent, learned man. In a sane and just world, Obama would not have had to denounce him. Unfortunately, we're living in a country ruled by a murderous, malignant, bunch of thugs who will seize on any opportunity to destroy anyone who speaks the truth.

I saw Rev. Wright on Bill Moyers' Journal. I also listened to his "Goddamn America" sermon in it's entirety. It was titled, "Confusing God and Government". I find nothing of any consequence in that sermon to quarrel with. What he was saying, among other things, was (Cliff Notes version) that the rabid nationalism that infests this country is like elevating your government to the status of a god, and that's idolatry. A sin, I think.

In his "chickens come home to roost" sermon, I remember him saying that we were so angry over 9/11 (a CheneyBush production, IMHO) that we retaliated by killing babies. I'm angry about that, too. He also said, in substance, that actions have consequences, and as America perpetrates evil around the world, how can we be surprised when the "chickens" come home to roost. What is the problem with that?

Pastor(sic) Hagee, on the other hand, is a hateful, viscious, fundie whacko nutjob. He preaches nothing but hate. His subtext is that when Jesus returns, all Jews who do not accept him as their Lord and Savior will be destroyed. What a repugnant idea! He's ugly outside as well as inside.

There. is. no. comparison. Geez!! :banghead:
