Why did Jeremiah Wright take more heat than Jerry Falwell & Pat Robertson for his statements on the blame for 9/11?Falwell & Robertson were dividing the people by blaming "the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America" for 9/11.Wright was trying to unite the American people against the American Government's foreign policy.Unfortunately, in the current media environment, division is more mainstream than protest.On another note, Wright is scarier because his argument rings too close to truth to dismiss unlike Falwell & Robetson's comments.
