Providing Context For Reverend Wright(This how stereotypes become stereotypes)

In his interview with Bill Moyers, Pastor Jeremiah Wright blasted the media for failing to provide context to his much-condemned remarks.

On today's show I played great portions of his sermons from April 13, 2004 and from September 16, 2001. I will post the audio here later (audio is posted).

Pastor Wright has a legitimate complaint that only sound bytes have been played, but until today I had no other material to work with. The pastor could help us all if he would release recordings of all of his sermons, and Moyers ought to have asked for just that. If you are going to mount the defense of "out of context," then provide the context.

Please be aware that due to technical issues beyond our control, there is a thirty second ad at the beginning of each clip.

Freeps and all other good and decent Americans, this audio will make you mad.... Barack Hussein Obama chose to marinate in this vicious tripe with his wife and children for 20 years.

The ‘context’ makes it worse, IMHO.

The idiot rev. Wright just needs to shut up. I don’t care to listen to anything that trash has to say.

What???? He's lucky we haven't heard the whole repertoire of his stupid, marxist, hate-filled spiels.

In this case "God d@#m America" is the context. Some statements are self defining and do not require contextual analysis.
