So, I'm not sure context will salvage much of it. I do, however, look forward to your thoughts on it all. But the interesting point Brodner makes in his sketch/movie has to do with the other candidates too. They have their own Rev. Wrights.

When they are seen in the full context of his sermons, suddenly they are not nearly as inflammatory or hateful as they seem in the soundbites that we've been seeing. In fact, one of them was a quote of a white ambassador who was in turn quoting either Elijah Mohammed or Malcom X. The real culprit here appears to be Fox Media and in turn the rest of the media who follow them like slavering dogs without thought.
