Brother Hate's Travellin' Damnation Show: Wright's Church Denounces "White Church" as "The Antichrist"

Don't sweat it-- Wright was just quoting Lawrence Eagleberger, who once said this while taking a crap in an Appleby's men's room. [QUOTE MISSING]

So everything's cool. As a commenter noted earlier: Racism, virulent anti-americanism, hatred, and support of terrorism are all fine for public utterance -- so long as you properly footnote your remarks.

Which, by the way, Wright did not.

Bonus: Okay, this is kinda funny.

Thanks to Geraghty, with a little more -- Hillary photographed sitting right next to Wright at that "I have sinned, I have ridden dirty" summit.

Not to bring up something a little dicey, but if we're excusing hatred and racism simply if there's a footnote to someone in an official capacity in government...

"Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds." 1

And no, goddamnit, I do not endorse those remarks nor use them to bait. I'm illustrating the gag-worthy quality of Roland Martin's deep-throated (ahem) apologism, and what it is he's had to swallow to defend this. I'm surprised he didn't choke on it or vomit it back up.

See what I did there?
