Chickens coming home to roost...!
Thats what Wright said about 9-11.
If he ment, that our policy of exploiting the Middle East by proping up rich individuals at the expense of the populus. I can agree somewhat.
If he ment, that because we had slavery and we supported genocide against our own people... I have a hard time with that!

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Yet another thread on Wright started by someone that proclaims to not like all the coverage.
Yet another thread on a particular Wright topic that we have already discussed over and over and over again.
Next thing we have to look forward to is when a Rep responds to this thread and the we will be told yet again how "the Reps won't let it drop"

Wright is very like the right wingers. Some truth here and there but poorly put together.

I am not complaining about the amount we talk about it here... I am complaining about the amount the media talks about it.

your initial post mentions nothing about the media. It is phrased as a question that would start a discussion.

I disagree with that!

Ok, then I am complaining that we are talking about it here. Especially the same friggin quote we have already discussed 100 friggin times.
Side note... as long as Wright continues spotlighting himself in front of the media taking shots at the Presidential frontrunner, then the media is going to continue covering the story. ESPECIALLY if the viewers continue to talk about the story and WATCH/READ the news on the story.

Sure, and I want to have a discussion about it. I just dont like how much the media is harping on this one story when there are more important things for them to report about!

Similar to how many are tired of the left on this board harping on how much the media is harping about Wright. There are far more important issues to discuss than what some preacher says.

If you are sick of discussing this topic, I sugest you stay out of this thread.
