I want to say right off the bat that I got it wrong in my last diary. I wrote that diary in anticipation of three major public addresses by Rev. Wright: the Bill Moyers interview, the NAACP Keynote and the National Press Club speech.

Where I thought that Wright might use those venues to communicate with a broader public in a way that worked to get past the divisiveness and controversies surrounding some of what we had learned about his preaching in worship service, I completely misjudged what was to come.

Yes, we've learned some valuable context about Rev. Wright and his life and worldview over the last five days, during the Moyers interview in particular; we've also learned that given the chance to educate a broader public and clarify his views on the national stage, Reverend Wright instead went the opposite direction and chose a divisive rhetoric that was roundly destructive and enormously self-centered...

First, I'm glad he wants to see the good in all of us. He wants to give the benefit of the doubt that we are people of our word and will work for the common good.

Unfortunately, that's not how the Hillary Clinton supporters (Bill Moyers and Rev. Dr. Barbara Reynolds) think. Did you miss that Hillary Clinton connection? A supporter of Hillary got Rev. Wright into the Nat'l Press Club. So perhaps we now know why she did not issue a statement yesterday - she was behind this media circus. It's time for democrats of sound mind to defeat Hillary and Bill Clinton for President. It's not just that Wright wanted to respond. It's that the Clinton's put him up to it.

In case you went looking for this today, you reached a dead link. Or a blank page. Or maybe you got crafty.

I am writing this diary to share with you, a powerful video of two white pastors' recent sermons at the Rev. Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ.

This video weaves these two courageous pastors' sermons as they powerfully defend Rev. Wright from the recent shameful attacks on him, and expose the distortions that painted him as a rabid racist who prays for the destruction of the US.

The fight against the smear attacks on Rev. Wright, and by association on Sen. Obama is one with big implications in the upcoming primaries, but more importantly in the general election campaign against McCain.
