Rev. Jeremiah Wright isn't the problem
The hysteria over Obama's former pastor's attacks on America shows we're still in thrall to knee-jerk patriotism.
By Gary Kamiya [2008-03-25]

  • We're still in thrall to knee-jerk patriotism? Oh, pah-leeze.

    Among all the other nonsense in his hate speech, Rev Wright also claims that:

    - The U.S. government gives African-Americans drugs, created AIDS and is deliberately infecting blacks with that disease.

    - Israel is responsible for 9/11 and for terrorism against the Palestinians.

    - Israel is a "dirty word" and "racist country."

    And from this, Mr. Kamiya surmises that the only reason Americans are rejecting this madness is because we feel compelled to be patriotic? No, Gary, actually we feel compelled to steer clear of wild-eyed morons like Rev. Wright and yourself.
