Why did Hillary Clinton attack Jeremiah Wright?

[senz]

76. The repubs used snippets out of several sermons to make it sound

like that's all Wright ever talked about. Early in the controversy, Obama said he went to Wright's church regularly for years and never heard him talk like that. The repubs cherry picked to make a scandal that, given Obama's race, could easily have killed his chances of getting elected -- given what we both know about white America.

I am sure, in his heart of hearts, Obama has felt some of that anger. I feel it, I blow my stack and yell at the TV or radio when another unarmed AA gets murdered by police. Sometimes I cry. And I'm white. So probably most if not all AAs and other people of color become that angry at times. Because they should. They have every right to. There would be something wrong if they didn't.

Wright got used by the repubs and chewed up by a huge political machine bigger than himself. And if by any chance you think his righteous anger was unChristian, check out Jesus' excoriating of the Pharisees in the Book of Matthew and also what he did with the money changers. Righteous people do become very, very angry over injustice and cruelty. May they always.
