1. Moyers is a gent and will do a great job

I strongly suspect Wright is a gent just like him.

[babylonsister]

3. I strongly suspect likewise. I think Moyers will be validating Rev. Wright

to the despair of those who don't want to see it. We'll get to hear Wright's story.

Moyers will do a great job, as usual.

13. I expect Moyers will elucidate on what a Biblical Jeremiad really is...

From the get-go it has seemed to me that the Rev. Jeremiah Wright was practicing the Biblically-inspired "sustained invective" of the jeremiad. All those Christians who think the US is above criticism should go back and read the books of Lamentations and Jeremiah in the Old Testament. The prophet had some very choice words for his people.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiad

"A Jeremiad is a long literary work, usually in prose, but sometimes in poetry, in which the author bitterly laments the state of society and its morals in a serious tone of sustained invective, and always contains a prophecy of society's imminent downfall.

"The word is an eponym, named after the Biblical prophet Jeremiah, and is inspired by the tone of his surviving literary works, the Book of Jeremiah and the Book of Lamentations. The Book of Jeremiah prophesies the coming downfall of the Kingdom of Judah, and asserts that this is because its rulers have broken the covenant with the Lord.....

"As such, the name jeremiad is given to moralistic texts that denounce a society for its wickedness, and prophesy its downfall.
