The uncurious, gullible, uneducated segment of the population are preyed upon and react to emotion rather than reason. The Bill Moyers interview with Rev. Wright should be played nonstop and his sermons should be watched in their entirety to understand the total context from which the soundbites were wrongly extracted and bent to stir the stirrable ignorance. What a travesty for Rev Wright. The dredger Republican spinmeisters continue scouring their sewerhomes with the rats who share their domain. The sadness is that there are poorly educated people in poverty who swallow the bait hook, line and sinker not knowing they are being duped and used for the enrichment of the very wealthy.

This is a win-win for McCain -- he can claim the highroad, while benefitting from the low road.
