I don’t think it is. And Jeremiah Wright is very well respected and very learned. He can draw on foreign policy and make it relevant for today. What black preachers do is try to take social commentary and match it to biblical teachings.

Because that’s the way the media paints them. They’ve tried to paint them from the very beginning that they’re sneaky, conniving, will do anything to win. Coming from Chicago where politics is rough- and-tumble, I had two reporters call me about the 3 AM phone call ad. And they were trying to argue me down, saying the 3 AM commercial is negative. I said, “Well, that’s what you do in a political contest—she’s supposed to say, ‘I’m the best.’ What’s she supposed to do, say he’s the best?”
Yes, that is what the conservatives are going to try to do. Hillary has actually pulled her punches; the Republicans won’t. If anyone thinks the party of Willie Horton and swift boats isn’t going to do this, they’re nuts. The Republicans have already shown us they don’t need black people to win.
