I just caught a bit on a news show (not sure which one) that was covering Obama's pastor speaking at a celebration for Maya Angelou, having been invited by the priest of the Catholic church. The priest said, with a straight face, "there's nothing that Pastor Wright said that Martin Luther King didn't say in the 60's"
Really? I have never heard of MLK saying anything ignorant and hateful like the sermons of Jeremiah Wright. Did I miss those speeches in the archive?
In his search for equality, this priest is finding it where there is none - and I think Reverend King would be offended at the comparison.
