I'll never understand why everyone's all over this pastor's remarks, while McCain's gotten ENDORSEMENTS by "ministers" who blamed 9/11 on gay people & working women(WTF?), and no one in the media said a word.

Look who gets the big get of the 2008 Campaign? It's Moyers, who was, is, and always will be the best in the business.

And, you can watch every episode online, so there's no reason not to watch.

Sorry for rattling on, but he's my journalistic hero.

If Reagan or Roosevelt were in a church where they burned crosses do you think people would vote for them? I guess bo is lucky for the largest amount of voter fraud in the history of the world.

billpm--

tough questions? You mean like posting that question about the flag pin? Or asking if Jeremiah Wright is as patriotic as he? Yeah, real tough. About as tough and thought provoking as the time Obama was asked about Clinton being the first black president...

usreb- I think manyara's point was that there are many things done by Jesus and in the Bible that people can declare to be 'controversial.' You offer a more balanced opinion because you know the entire story. But what of those who don't? How can they get the true identity of a person with a little bit of information?

Or perhaps, sherwoode, Moyers is an open-minded person who was interested in presented another side of a very lopsided story. The fact that PBS completed a documentary about Wright and his church 20 years ago indicates that Moyers might actually have a more valid and fact-based opinion than you.

You will take away my victimhood from my cold dead hands!! What a sad human being. this egomaniac is so worried about having his so called "liberation" philosophy marginalised that he would rather sabotage a fellow black mans chances of gaining the most powerful position in the world just so he can keep blaming whitey for everything thats wrong in the black community. Sad really

Obama is a true politician as Wright describes him. Meaning Obama will say whatever he needs to say to win the election. Obama only makes excuses but he still will not turn his back on his racist pastor and his black racist church which happily cheers and applauds Wrights venom.

This guy is such a racist liar. He said GOD only exist if he wants whites eliminated, then he would be a just GOD. Glenn Beck played it. Now he says it was all looped together. Nothing worse than someone who won't stand behind his own words. He also said he's ashamed to be a US citizen. Now he's claiming he didn't say that. What a liar. I guess anyone can get the title Reverend from the back of a comic book. What a disgrace this guy is.Probably learned to lie from the clintons.

Well where was the Chinese during the civil rights protest, I didnt see them getting beat up by the police and sprayed down by the fire department.

[sherwoode7]

Wright is a hateful racist loon and does not deserve airtime.Of course Moyers being a liberal would like anyone who hates America and sees themselves as a victim

Read Luke Ch 3. After watching his interview at the press club this morning (4/28/08) all I can say is "Thank God he has revealed his true lying nature. It was only the Holy Spirit that revealed who he is, & from wright's own mouth..people MUST go past appearances when voting, white, brown or black...do I think they'll learn anything from this? only not to vote for the lying obama...next time the libs will have to be more careful (like hillary is) not to reveal their true beliefs to the voters
