Why Rev. Wright is Not Wrong

Perhaps going public will hurt the media and the political attack dogs Hillary Clinton and the Republican Right Wing have set on this man. Reverend Wright is still a Man of God, who has much greater moral authority than those who have publicly used him for their purposes. By all accounts, he has a lifetime of achievement and community service that reflect the best in our nation. ABC News and most other mass media are too exploitative to honestly report his sermons and life's work in context, and are too cowardly to defend him on the basis of the First Amendment their profession is charged to protect. That same First Amendment guarantees our right to religious freedom, freedom of religion and freedom to assemble. The Rev. Wright persecution and exploitation challenges all of these core values and is a test our the wisdom of our nation and our times. Bill Moyers is one of the few remaining TV journalists with integrity, and the Editors of CaliLaw Review have only praise for his courage to remind us what the First Amendment means, and how the scourge of McCarthyism is very much alive in our country. It has no place in our Democracy, and we should all hold the highest contempt for those who strive to resurrected it.
