What was done to Rev. Wright in the media was basically a lynching. [View All]

[Political Heretic]

I was one of the ones who decided to sit down and listen to Rev. Wrights entire sermons, and a few others I could find that did not have snippets ripped from context by the media, after the controversy started. So I was aware of how twisted and distorted this 5 second clips really were.

But it wasn't until the interview with Wright that it really dawned on me what kind of total personal character assassination the media chose to engage in for the sake of creating false "drama" for the campaign saga. His body may not have died, but his life and career will never be the same. From now on he will always be remembered for the labels given to him by the media, that the public all-too-eagerly jumped at the chance to lap up, as if they were starving to be given a green light to exercise their pent up anger at loud-mouthed active black people. No one will ever meet Rev. Wright again without remembering the labels of "racist" "hater" "nutcase" "whackadoodle" "fanatic" and on and on and on.

The reason why some of us have such a sick feeling in the pit of our stomach is because this wasn't a political attack on a ruling class establishment political candidate, or a candidate at all. This was a media lynching - pure and simple. And it would absolutely not have happened in this way if Rev. Wright had a white face and not a black one. You notice that McCains crazy Paster endorser who said Katrina was caused as Gods vengeance on homosexuals has not been crucified in the media. I wonder why?

It's almost as if the media saw an opportunity to getting away with "letting off some racial tension steam" and did so, by lynching Rev. Wright, destroying his name, annihilating his years of devoted service to this country and to his community all in a matter of hours.

I think we should all remember that as we think about where we are in America.
