I am disappointed that yet again the media does not tell the full story of the sermons of Rev. Wright. You're happy to quote the hype, but still refuse to go further. I have listened to two of the full sermons and there is nothing hateful about them. In "The Day Jerusalem Fell" given after 9/11, Rev. Wright quoted former Amb. to Iraq Richard Peck who had stated on the previous day on Fox News "America's chickens have come home to roost." Rev. Wright called the attack a tragedy and told his congregation they should tell their loved one that they love them and that "violence begets violence," "hate begets hate" and "revenge begets revenge" and before we walk off that precipace we should consider that following that path would lead to the death of innocents. Pretty prophetic. In the sermon "Governments Are Not God," Wright stated God never changes, that God is always good, however, governments are not God and are not always good. And like, Rome, God damns governments when they are bad. But when governments are not bad, they should not be damned. Come on Newsweek - be responsible, print the full sermons so people can learn the truth and decide for themselves instead of perpetuating the lies.
