You just signed up on FR two weeks ago. Are you a Reverend Wright apologist? I don’t need someone else to interpret what the Reverend said. I can understand English, and his messag ecomes through loud and clear.

and your point is?

Actually I signed up March 15, 2008. Read FR for years but finally posted on March 15. Found most people here kind and polite but have only come across a few bullies, which you seem to be one.

Read, Buddy, read! Don't react to a tiny smidgen of a quoted article, make invalid assumptions, and then act as though the poster were posting based on a motive springing from your invalid assumptions. Hewitt simply said, Okay, Wright, that's a valid complaint that only small portions of your sermons have been played; let's listen to long portions of your sermons and see if there's anything different from the short portions. Hewitt took the end of the stick that Wright held out ("Only small portions of my sermons have been played") and proceeded to beat the crap out of him with it.

When he did, here is how he characterized the responses he got from various media folks, including Democrats:

Jim Geraghty of NationalReview.com's Campaign Spot listened to the new Jeremiah Wright audio posted immediately below (with transcripts being added as Duane can get to them). His reaction:

Permit me to propose a new rule: If your mentor of 20 years has ever declared the United States to be ‘the same as al-Qaeda, under a different color flag, calling on the name a different God to sanction and approve our murder and our mayhem!’ you are ineligible for the Presidency.

Jim is reacting in the same way as Fred Barnes, Morton Kondracke and many of my callers did yesterday when I played both of the sermons over the air. Now will MSM allow the public to hear the "context" Pastor Wright has complained he has been denied? It isn't like the cable channels are stuffed with can't miss material. One of them should play the audio.
