I don't know about you, but if I went to a church and heard a preacher spouting that kind of hate, I'd be looking for another church asap

If I heard a black man, preacher or not, saying the things that preacher said, I'd think, "Fair enough".

And, personally, you constantly using the "drinking the Kool-Aid" analogy is getting damn old.  It's also highly offensive to me because it brings up bad memories of people committing suicide 30 some years ago.  I don't know how others feel, but that's how I feel.

Understandable. But the term has nothing to do with Jonestown - if it did, I sure as hell wouldn't use it!; its not a term I invented, and I've heard it used plenty of times before in the past. Most notably people talking about the wrestlers buying Paul Heyman's bs when he was running ECW into the ground, but I've heard it used in other circumstances. It means believing or following something that has no substance to it - since Kool-Aid is just sugared and flavored water - or is total bs. But to be nice I'll now use the term "eating his cotton candy", instead. 

And so help me, if anyone mentions a clown or carnival phobia.....

Even if what Wright said was taken out of context, you can't deny that his connections to Farrakan make him look a bit shaky. And I doubt it its a situation where the church tries to appease him so he'll leave them alone.

How do you figure he's far to the left?

He met with the leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas. In a TV interview he says Hezbollah is not a terrosrist organization and compares  Hezbollah's tactics to tactics we used fighting Nazi Germany.

I can't complain, though! We had a pretty good run as a country for 230
years or so. Sure am going to miss her....

You haven't been missing her for the last seven years?

Which does not mean he's far to the left. Issues of taxation, size and role of government, positions on social issues etc ( the left/right issues) are unrelated to the issue of whether the Palestinians have a legitimate right to oppose the continued occupation of their homeland (the 1967 borders).

Find one issue where he agrees with Republicans and do you seriously think the Palestinians would cease their attacks if Israel completely withdrew to the 1967 border? Israel was under constant attack from 1948 to 1967 before they occupied the West Bank and Gaza.
