I have an easy answer to those who accuse the press of "cherry picking" quotes from Reverend Wright's sermons. If the press has been picking only a few rare instances of inflammatory statements, then it should not be hard to find entire sermon's of Reverend Wright where he says nothing objectionable at all. As Wright obviously had enough videotaped sermons for the press to cherry pick out a few "rare" quotes, there must be hundreds of sermons on tape.
So, here is my challenge, find me 10 sermons where Wright says nothing objectionable throughout the entire sermon. No "G-d Damn America", no black separatist rhetoric, no conspiracy theories, nothing offensive at all.
If the quotes the press uses are so rare, yet the press can gather almost a dozen, then there must be hundreds or even thousands of hours of footage to allow 12 "rare" statements to be gathered. So how hard could it be to find 10 complete sermons that offend no one?
If anyone can find them, then I will be happy to spend all my efforts on clearing the good name of the man. Not only that, I will ask my fellow conservatives to all do the same. With 10 full sermons to show his essentially harmless nature it should not be hard to get others to sign on, and it would be great PR for both Obama and Wright that a number of conservatives have chosen to help clear the man of these false accusations.
Somehow I doubt any supporter will be taking me up on my challenge.
