A couple of things

Many of us would do very well to -- and, indeed, benefit from -- taking a more detailed look into the Reverend Wright issue. There is a lot of information out here on the 'Net. Don't be content with the msm version: you should be getting wise to them by now. Don't forget that they're happily in bed with a drooling warmonger!
And for God's sake, don't go by Hillary's people, either.
There are indications that it ain't, of course, all it's cracked up to be. I was just reading, for example, one account of the good Reverend by a white member of his mostly-black congregation. This man is much impressed with the Rev and lists a number of civic programs the Rev has instituted that have worked far better than any comparable government program could have.
But more touching is how this white man's life was affected by the Rev. "Between engagement ring and altar," he says, his black bride-to-be suddenly decided that there was simply no way that she could marry a white man. It would be a betrayal of her race.
Fortunately, she was a member of Wright's flock. When he learned of her change of heart, he called her in for a conference in which he highlighted the folly of racial isolationism.
And he presided at the ceremony.
As for putting the blame for 9/11 at America's doorstep . . . well, I got in trouble for that myself, and I'm a true patriot. Telling the truth in George W. Bush's America can get you in trouble.
There is very wise corroboration to the charge that America brought 9/11 upon itself. Read Chalmers Johnson's Blow-Back Trilogy. There is even more proof available, but that excellent work of non-fiction is more than enough.

Speaking of 9/11, I am painfully aware of the bad rep suffered by Truthers and conspiracy nuts; so I have approached that area with great caution. Even so, I have felt the blast-furnace heat of believer revulsion. That can hurt.
Nevertheless, it needs to be said that the contradictions, the miraculous coincidences, the historic firsts and the ever-changing scenarios all point in a certain direction, and that is not towards the truth. You don't have to be a conspiracy nut to know this.
