Reverend Wright has been all over the news this weekend, and he's not helping his, or H.'s cause by some of the things he has been saying. The first appearance, the interview on Bill Moyer's PBS show, was a quiet, subdued version of Reverend Wright, and many were calling it his "image rehabilitation." Well, that didn't last very long, as on Sunday and earlier today (Monday), Wright was back to his regular bombastic, racist self. If you haven't seen the clips by now, check out Michelle Malkin's posts here and here for some perspectives and video.

So, what is the upshot of all of this? First, it is apparent that Wright made hostile racist speeches in 2 out of his 3 appearances this weekend, so we might assume that hostile racist sermons can roughly follow that average (see The Reverend Wright Lottery post). That means that H. most likely heard a lot of the harmful diatribes and hate speech that he denies hearing. If Wright can't make three appearances without the majority of them being hate-filled and racist, it seems likely that that was the norm in his church, not the exception. And it seems very likely that H. was in the pews on many of these occasions.

And second, Reverend Wright has opened season on himself. After hearing his comments this weekend, I say it's fair game to expose him as a full-blown racist. He can no longer talk about "being taken out of context" -- he's given us more context than we need to attack his statements outright. He claims the attack is not on him, but it is the black church that is being attacked. No, Reverend Wright, it is you specifically that we are speaking of. You are the hateful racist that we are attacking. Thanks for making us not feel guilty about doing so.
