The controversy surrounding Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright blew up again because of his address to the National Press Club and the NAACP Detroit Branch Annual Dinner. I am frankly tired of this pastor's comments being taken out of context and have had enough of this political pandering both by conservatives and liberals, Democratic candidates and some sponsored delegates.
What really pissed me off was when Barack dissed his own pastor without actually watching what was said or done. For that matter, Barack's actual statement was these ideas "should be denounced" without actually denouncing the statements and then most of the press didn't call Barack out on it.
This the worst excuse of a politician in my opinion and Hillary's campaign staff and cohorts are not far behind the conservative press junkets in earning my displeasure either. But this isn't about politics this is about listening to the speeches in question, without reservation or presumption, in their full context.
I challenge each of you to hear the speeches fully:
NPC: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Q&A: Part 4; Part 5; Part 6
NAACP: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4

In this day and age, people have less time to read or listen to speeches in their entirety. This gives less-than-honest people the opprotunity to quote people out of context.
The best way to counter is to provide the quotes in their proper context.
