To the editor:

Surely by now, most of you have heard the sound bites from Barack Obama’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright. Are we to continue to believe whites are responsible for the racial divide that exists in America with fire-breathing racists like Mr. Wright and Louis Farrakhan out there spreading their message of hate? Is America ready to seriously consider a black president who has been mentored by this racist, Mr. Wright, and unofficially endorsed by Louis Farrakhan, the head of Head of the Nation of Islam.

Pastor Jeremiah Wright thinks Farrakhan is great enough that he awarded this Islamic extremist the “Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. Lifetime Achievement Trumpeteer” Award. What have we come to as a great nation? The far-left is gleeful to see this anti-American sentiment get a solid foothold in this once great nation.
