The more I uncovered the more I realized that this man was being unfairly pigeonholed on his Afrocentric ideology and not judged on his overall life's work. He had done more for the inner-city community in Chicago than any government agency could have imagined. His work with the HIV/AIDS community stood out because he was willing to help when Reagan wouldn't even say the word AIDS.
He demonstrated more Christ-like virtue and compassion than many ministers had and when I looked at the "whole picture", his infrequent racially charged ramblings faded in importance.
I read an article by Anderson Cooper where he objectively investigated the story behind the story with JW's sermons. I'll post it in a minute...read it....it is fair and balanced journalism at its best.
BTW, I am not some lilly-livered liberal. I am a Conservative and I have been involved with the pro-life movement since 1991. The dilemma that I am having with Obama is his stand on many social issues...mainly abortion. As a Christian, I don't think that I will be able to vote for anyone this year. McCain and Hillary are two peas in a pod and though I have respect for Obama and will continue to press for the truth when the spin machine leaks slanderous stories, I will more than likely sit this one out!

you didnt answer the question. further you are ignoring one fundmental fact.
"Chickens come home to roost" was the only part of JWs comments that was a quote. The rest was of his own invention.
Where his comments concerning dropping an Atom Bomb on Japan accurate? Justifiable?
