Interesting question
I think this IS an interesting question:
Without weighing in on whether or not the content of Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s sermons should be denounced by Barack Obama, I do find one aspect of this story quite troubling. We have now seen more sermons from Barack Obama’s minister in 48 hours than we ever did of Mike Huckabee —— and Mike Huckabee was a presidential candidate for 14 long months. Why is it acceptable to scour every last sermon given by Wright, but only weeks ago we weren’t allowed to see or read Mike Huckabee’s sermons? In fact, not only was it totally ignored by the traditional media, but the few times the question of Huckabee’s sermons was raised, it was brushed aside as inappropriate.
I think it would be great to see more of Huckabee’s sermons! And wouldn’t it be interesting to add that kind of discourse to our political conversation?

tonylorenzen commented on 15 March 2008:Rev. Wright gave the keynote address to the Unitarian Universalist Minister's Association's Center Day gathering last year in Portland before the UUA's General Assembly. He was fantastic. Just wonderful. A powerful speaker on racism, justice, faith and American culture and history. I only know him in that context and I've never read or heard any of his other sermons, but that day was powerful.
Peace,
