E-mail sent to Trinity United Church of Christ which has just issued a press release comparing their pastor to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Do you people have no shame? How dare you invoke the sacred named of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King was a man of peace, not of meanness and hate. Do you think for one second he would ever have uttered the idiotic hate-filled words of your pastor? How proud Dr. King would be of Barack Obama; how ashamed he would be of the hateful words of Jeremiah Wright that have cast such a cloud over Obama's chance for the presidency.


The really important question is why the UCC itself did nothing in all this time to denounce the language of Jeremiah Wright. Obama has had the courage to do that; where's the UCC?
