It certainly isn't right. If this is truly what the preacher said, it shows either a tremendous lack of civic knowledge or a willingness to bend the truth beyond recognition for a cheap rhetorical point.
"Today is December 7. The day that this government killed over 80000 Japanese civilians at Hiroshima in 1941. Two days before killing an additional 64000 Japanese civilians at Nagasaki by dropping nuclear bombs on innocent people."
I am going to try to find out if this is an accurate quote.
Update: yep, it is. As much as he annoys me, O'Reilly did have this one correct.
That's Reverend Wright, reading from a prepared script. Forward to the 47 second mark. It's not a misstatement or a slip of the tongue. It's deliberate and calculated to raise the ire, a "damned lie" meant to deceive with malicious intent. It's going to infuriate Republicans and Democrats alike, as it should. It's going to embarrass the hell out of the President-Elect.
Screw you Reverend. And the horse you rode in on. And the church that tolerates you.

Indeed. If you don't like the real history, just ignore it and imagine something nicer.
ReplyDeleteWright nails it again...at least someone tells the truth in America.
