Birds of a feather? (extended audio of Jeremiah Wright)

FACT:

Obama has been a member of Jeremiah Wright’s church for over 20 years.

QUOTE:

“So many people said to me when they saw that video of Rev. Wright at that chaotic news conference at the National Press Club carried live on CNN. They said, ‘I would not have sat there for TWENTY MINUTES for that, let alone twenty years.’”

– Mike Allen, chief political correspondent for Politico.com

Wright complained that his comments were taken out of context. To prove that they were not taken out of context, here is a compilation of extended portions from two sermons given by Jeremiah Wright, one from 9/16/01, the other from 4/13/03. (NOTE: several seconds of silence separate each excerpt.)

In addition, here is Jeremiah Wright’s entire speech he gave to the National Press Club last week (4/28/08), which was aired in its entirety on a nationally syndicated conservative talk radio show.
