Did anyone  hear him speak live on cable next at the National Press Club?  I thought he was very impressive, especially during the question and answer period. He didn't take any crap in an assertive, yet not aggressive manner. He's a brilliant man.

I agree with you.

Although I obviously disagree with him on some things, I really like him. I don't care for Obama at all. But I like this man because he's openly honest and controversial and straight-talking.

I absolutely hate how the media has reduced this man's career - that has spanned decades - to a few 30 second soundbites.

I thought this (now notorious) speech was very thoughtful and powerful (yes, a whole speech, not 30 seconds of it!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOdlnzkeoyQ

I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who feels that way about Wright. My biggest beef with him is that he threw Obama under the bus when Obama was more than fair to Wright. I am an Obama supporter.
