Wait, what was the thread about again? :-)
Here are a couple of links that express my view better than I can.
Here's obama's response to Rev Wright's speech:

And here's some commentary giving context to Wright's remarks:

The current media flap over the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s former pastor, strikes me as nothing short of strange. Anyone who attends church on a regular basis knows how frequently congregants disagree with their ministers. To sit in a pew is not necessarily assent to a message preached on a particular day.

crooksandliars is one of my favorite blogs, btw. Has a definite progressive/truth bias, though.
