Weren't Libs in agony over Bush's handling of the language?
wasn't jeremiah wright a corpsman? saved lbj's life or someshit like that. you'd think in twenty years it would have come up in conversation.
Jeremiah Wright enlisted without being drafted, served in the Marines honorably, then the Navy Medical Corp where he was valedictorian. Served as part of the team that operated on LBJ and received three White House commendations.
In 1972, it was discovered that the US government had been using blacks, without their knowledge, keeping them infected with syphilis, letting their wives and children become infected for generations (Tuskegee Experiment) just to see what would happen. That, plus the Jim Crow laws and the march for Civil Rights changed his view of what America is all about.
Barrack Obama wasn't part of that generation. He feelings are entirely different. You can't blame the children for the sins of the father.
Funny thing about the "valedictorian". Many white wingers on this site said there is no valedictorian in the Navy Medical Corps, but when I posted links to white veterans who had died and had been valedictorian, they shut up. No apologies. Because it's all about the hate.
