Rev. Wright is unfairly criticized. His comments about September 11'th were religious, not political in nature. In the religious frame of mind, they make sense. Attacking Obama for the political affiliations of his pastor is a bit of a cheap shot.
Terry Jones is not unfairly criticized for the most part, and Rush Limbaugh isn't more unfairly represented than any other highly public political entertainer.
This. Reverend Wright served in the United States Marines and is widely respected as a preacher and as an author; Rush Limbaugh and by extension Terry Jones are self-aggrandizing asshole pieces of shit.
(Hmm, bad comparison I guess since Jones served too...)
Maybe right and wrong can't be determined by such facile comparisons, and it's necessary to dig a little deeper. Maybe the entire Left isn't defined by some guy on Twitter.
