Wright Post 9/11 Sermon

Andrew Sullivan posted one of the controversial sermons by Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

In context, the speech concerns the proper response after 9/11. Rev. Wright's conclusion: self-examination. It is not the anti-American tirade the clips attempt to proclaim.

On a side note: during this "controversy" I have been on a "what if" kick. What would be the public reception of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" or "Time to Break the Silence," Stokely Carmichael's "Black Power," or Malcolm X's "Ballot or the Bullet>" Imagine for a second of Hannity et al. were on the radio then opposing these calls for self-examination and resistance.
