In a thread about how Glenn Beck is losing advertisers? Jeremiah Wright has nothing to do with Beck's race-baiting. In a thread about race-baiting in general I can see us talking about him, but this isn't that thread. I don't know why people don't understand this is a red herring. Look at the first response to my post about race-baiting: rahl didn't actually address whether or not Beck was guilty, but he started talking about other people guilty of race baiting, committing a both a tu quoque fallacy and a red herring fallacy. Then DK mentioned MSNBC possibly race-baiting. Then samcol followed suit. Notice how none of them actually talked about Beck?

Similar, but not the same. I'm not familiar with crowds of people burning Beck's books or people making death threats against him.
