Bad American

Today’s Contemporary Americana! 

But his remarks were thrown in the face of a people that don’t even know or understand their own country’s history. So it is easy to incite ignorant people who know nothing about most of what Rev. Wright preaches about. I have written on this ignorance before so I will not get into it again here.

But for those who get angry at what Wright is saying either read some Howard Zinn or check the comments of white pastors who basically said the same thing: God damn America - but for different reasons - because we tolerate gays and so-called un-Biblical behaviors. Of course, it was OK when they said it but not when Rev. Wright cites hard historical facts in his defense.

And now Wright has to fear the violence of the ignorant Bill O’Reilly-Lou Dobbs segment of the population and is having to cancel speeches for ’security’ reasons.  First Amendment for me but not thee, eh?

Sean Gonsalves writes an excellent rebuttal to Wright’s critics in Alternet today.
