The Euphemisms Should Not Stand

There will no doubt continue to be attempts to move the rhetoric of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright into the mainstream. As an example, a news report this morning on radio station KRLD on the planned visit of the former pastor to a church in Dallas today explained that he had become controversial due to his "opposition to U.S. policies following 9/11."

Of course, this is nonsense. He became conroversial due to his vehement, repeated, and loud insistence that God should send America to eternal damnation in hell, his relating the United States as a whole to the Ku Klux Klan, and other hate filled remarks.
