bill moyers interviews reverend jeremiah wright

the full hour is available online (for free), and it's worth watching:

i feel an ambiguous admiration for this guy. he says some awkward things (a particularly disturbing inclusion of "sodomy" in a list of society's ills... an awkward brush-off of farrakhan's anti-semitism, etc.), but he comes across as pretty informed-- and radical in a way i can kinda get behind. i found myself agreeing with him often enough to rekindle my worries that he might still cost obama the election. haha.

for the record, if anyone is even scrolling past this, i posted this prior to the NAACP & national press club experiences. having heard those, i don't admire the dude as much. still, he says some things that i wish were being discussed, rather than reacted to, but whatever...
