I do not understand the justification for the media uproar about Reverend Jeremiah Wright. These attacks on the good Reverend Jeremiah Wright are unacceptable. Let us look at the history of this event.
This “media lynching” of Reverend Jeremiah Wright was started by Sean Hannity of Fox News and is continuing because Sean Hannity of Fox News won’t let it go. This entire “media lynching” of Jeremiah Wright is the product of Fox News and the overwhelming fear by Fox News that Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States. In today’s modern age, “lynchings” do not need to be performed by a mob with a rope. Mr. Sean Hannity is performing his “media lynching” with the poison of his tongue and the hate in his heart. And he uses some videos obtained by Fox News to justify this poisonous coverage.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been inundated with coverage about his Mormon faith, LDS. In light of this, last night we reported on the controversial teachings of Democratic candidate Barack Obama’s Chicago-based church. A guest on our program likened Trinity Unity Church of Christ to a separatist movement, drawing comparisons to Branch Davidians.
But Mr. Hannity, there is no comparison to what was questioned about Mitt Romney and what you are doing to this dedicated and revered religious leader, Reverend Jeremiah Wright. How dare you compare him to he “Branch Davidians.” They are the same group that did the following as documented in wikipedia:
David Koresh (August 17, 1959 – April 19, 1993) was the leader of a Branch Davidian religious sect, believing himself to be the final prophet. A 1993 raid by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and subsequent siege by the FBI ended with the burning of the Branch Davidian ranch. Koresh, 53 adults and 21 children died in the fire.
Where did you get off, Mr. Hannity, of accusing Reverend Jeremiah Wright of being a “Branch Davidian.” All part of your “media lynching.” Do you have any idea what that statement means? The answer must be “no,” otherwise why would you say it. This religious group was brainwashed by David Koresh. The leader instilled a siege mentality in this small congregation. And this group was armed and dangerous. And you have the gall to compare Reverend Jeremiah Wright to the Branch Davidians.
Mr. Hannity, have you ever been to Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s Church. Well, I have and I am white. If this were truly a separatist church, I would have been barred entry. Yet I was allowed entry to the church with no questions asked. I am not a member of the church, but I know I would be welcomed as member with open arms.
While I was there, Mr. Hannity, I didn’t notice any evidence of this church being in any way like the “Branch Davidians.” I didn’t notice any weapons or an armed camp in Branch Davidian mold. I wasn’t searched for arms when I entered. I didn’t get the sense from the congregation of any seige mentality. The similarities you point out between between this church and the “Branch Davidians” are only in your mind of Sean Hannity. Trinity Unity Church is a normal, peaceful place of worship. But how would you know that, Mr. Hannity. You don’t possess the journalistic curiosity to find the truth. You only want to destroy these two fine people.
Stop the “media lynching,” Mr. Hannity. I appeal to your sense of fair play. I hope you have a sense of fair play. Please Mr Hannity, stop the “media lynching.” It is beneath you. Or is your attempt to destroy Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Senator Barack Obama more important to you than doing the right thing. Reading on Walden Bookstore.

Obama listened to Wright for 20 years and now is disavowing many of his pastor’s views on things because they are a political liability. That just makes Barack seem like a typical politician, the one thing that he- with his minimalistic experience- cannot afford to come across as.
Not sure if I am agreeing or disagreeing with you on this one Mike. I feel the only thing Hannity has is an overplayed soundbyte. Was it just one sunday sermon where he got a little too riled up or was it a consistent theme?
Everything I have read leads me to believe it was a heated sermon but not a track record of intolerance. Every minister needs to “Damn the nation” every once in a while to get people out of their comfort zone and convince them the state of the nation is their mission ground, and their sin is real and not just a minor inconvenience to God.
Frankly, I am dissappointed that Obama backpeddled as he did because I listened to the soundbytes and I felt the minister was mostly right on.
Hannity’s a one trick pony! It’s July and he’s still harping on the Reverend Wright story. That story’s been done to death!
