I have recently posted in several blogs that I disagree with what the Rev. Wright had to say.   I had seen the news clips (who hasn't, they play non-stop on cable news) and was angered by what I saw and heard.    Eventually, somebody pointed out to me that all three clips strung together came to less than 6 minutes of tape.   She suggested that it did not seem to be a fair sample when you consider a 35 year career as a minister.   I dismissed this suggestion because "everyone knows his church is radical" and as an agnostic, it doesn't really matter to me.   I was concerned about the issues of the campaign.   I was concerned with the discussion of race that Obama's speech should generate.   I was NOT concerned with the Rev. Jerimiah Wright.   While thinking about writing this, I went looking on the internet for a longer clip of that now infamous speech.   I found it.    Ten minutes worth of footage.  Five minutes on either side of the "known" quote.     Now I AM concerned!   PLEASE TAKE 10 MINUTES OF YOUR DAY & VIEW THIS FOOTAGE ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!   I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT IN UNDERSTANDING JUST HOW "BAD" THIS MAN REALLY IS!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4RLONpTzEE    Then take a few more minutes to check this out:   http://youtube.com/watch?v=B3sVLHdi_o0
