Open Letter to Rev. Wright

Dear Rev. Wright

Exactly what the fuck you think you're doing? Not only making a mockery of your own legacy, but you are essentially shitting on all the work Sen. Obama and his campaign have done.

I completely understand your motives in speaking out in defending yourself, however you allowed the mainstream media and the Douchbag Squad (Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, ignorant Americans, racists, etc) to bait you and trick you into playing their game.
This is chess playa, not checkers!!!!

Allow me to be clear you are a highly educated, patriot of the true values of this country, have unselfishly served your nation and your community for over 35 years. And you allowed yourself to be reduced to a sound byte.

Let's recap your press "tour/disaster"-

1. Bill Moyers Journal on PBS- eloquent, sublime, Insightful, truthful, honorable. You truly demonstrated the true nature of what many of your supporters know to be your character. Kudos to Bill Moyers for conducting an actual interview and not an interrogation.

2. NAACP Dinner- Honest, direct, funny. Yes a bit more dynamic, edgier but still truthful and powerful. HOWEVER while your theme Different is not deficient was very well done. MSM is just too fucking stupid to really understand what you were saying. Coupled with the nations severe case of ADD you were entering a dangerous terrority.

3. National Press Club - obnoxious, egotistical, condescending- WHAT DA FUCK!! This is the "Lion's Den" this is where evil (and ignorance) resides. This is where you needed to be at your absolute best.

Just for the record- I have watched your complete sermons and in your words I heard you offer restoration to your parishoners regarding 9/11. I heard your call for calm, reflection and hope. I learned about liberation theology and respect your work as well as the work of other pastors who speak on behalf of the oppressed. But when it comes to the world stage, the mass media and politics....brother you need to keep your your senses sharp and your emotions leveled because this is obvious you are out of your league here.

Please STFU and don't destroy Obama, don't destroy the hope of millions of Americans to have and a true leader running this country.
