The Wright Context

I haven't really done much with this story since it seems to be getting so much attention, but thought it fit into one of my labels well. "Context is everything, right?" Well, that's what people are using as a defense for Obama's Pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. They say the youtube videos are soundbites taken out of context. So what IS the context?

Well, here it is. My first reaction was, "How can this church say they're talking about "religious" things and not "political" things? This is as political as you can get without having a particular candidate stand up and say "vote for me" on Sunday.

Additionally, this makes all those claiming the "context" card look all the more foolish. There is nothing inconsistent with the soundbite and the context! The whole sermon is pretty much, "We hate America and it's corrupt government because...." Well, now you have the context.
