Jeremiah Wright revisited
Earlier this spring, there was a good deal of discussion everywhere about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Sen. Barack Obama’s former and long-time pastor. We heard plenty here Political Fix and elsewhere on STLtoday.com.
The fallout for Obama’s campaign lasted for weeks, even after Obama’s response in a lengthy speech on race. (For the record, one YouTube clip of that speech has been viewed 4.3 million times since it was added a little more than a month ago.)
Given that kind of attention, I’m a little surprised that Wright’s interview last week on PBS with Bill Moyers and subsequent appearances aren’t getting more hits on the web.
In fact, Wright speaking out still is drawing less traffic on YouTube than the GOP ad from North Carolina tying Wright and Obama to Democrats running for governor. (This is the ad campaign that is drawing serious flak from both Democrats as well as Republicans nationally, including Sen. John McCain.)
Still, the entire issue is bound to find its way to the spotlight again, as Wright continues to speak out, most recently at the National Press Club this morning. Wright specifically says his critics are really after his faith and black church traditions that were under attack.
I’m posting the four parts to the interview Wright gave to PBS below. Take the time to watch them, and then offer your thoughts.

Amazed you are the idiot - big deal a Roth - tiny amounts every year can only be contributed. Where is that 20% a year? Now, it’s 9% a year. You are so ignorant to not know the Stock Market will not go to zero. When it was at 7900 it had been at 10000 years prior to that low mark, now it’s just trying to make up for all those huge losses. Who are you kidding? Yourself only.
Maybe the short bus you so commonly refer to did not help you out much at all and you had better try taking some college courses or return to high school to receive your GED.
