This morning the ever sane Rosie O'Donnell stated that she felt that the Rev. made sense. So, that settles it, he must be right. Right?
What does make sense is that one fruit cake agrees with another fruit cake. The fact that Rosie agrees should make the Rev. Wright rethink his statements. I know if I said something and Rosie agreed, I'd recant and begin speaking in the opposite direction.
Rosie is even further out in left field than Rev. Wright. Her views on social norms are, or should be, counter to everything Wright believes. Her views on 9/11 are even further out there than the Revs. She doesn't simply think we got what we deserved, we had an active part in it.
Unfortunately, the Reverend's views are not really that far off from Rosie's. While she is decidedly anti-Christian, his views are not exactly mainstream. When he can twist a statement from Jesus to support Islam as a "way" to salvation, which Jesus never intended, he can twist the Scriptures to support any wacko idea he has. Rosie is anti-American, which lines up directly with Rev. Wright.
This should shed more light, then, on just how out of touch Rev. Wright is. The fact that Obama could sit under his teaching, calling him an important mentor, for 20 years and only now denounce him, I think proves that one thing the Rev. said is true; Obama's denouncement was just political, something he had to say.
