Question

Does tv and radio need to show more Reverend Wright ?

Show his racist views. Show it on every news cast. every night. hour after hour. To show what a real racist is.

Answer 1

I'm torn on the answer to this. Part of me thinks, yeah, show more of it so people are informed, but television makes such an impression on many people's lives, it could backfire and exacerbate a problem with ignorant racism that already exists.  Some people would be appalled and disgusted with it, but some people might start flying their flags in support of Wright in a bad way.

Answer 2

No. He should crawl back under his rock and keep his mouth shut.

Answer 3

I'm pretty sure that the shock value has worn off now. Insisting on more coverage at this stage, after he's taken pains to explain himself, could be construed as racist in an of itself.

After all, we haven't been subjected to hour after hour of the Rev. Kenneth Hagee's equally appaling bigoted speech.

And John McCain isn't part of Hagee's flock. McCain sought out this man of God's endorsement.
