In Wright’s own words, some chickens may be coming home to roost, but in this case the chickens belong to the race baiters, most notably Wright himself:

African American ministers in Los Angeles expressed angst and concern Tuesday that a fresh round of comments by Sen. Barack Obama’s former pastor was hurting the Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign and skewing public understanding of the black church.

But the biggest concern Tuesday among local black religious leaders—and across a wide swath of black Los Angeles—was not about Wright’s words per se but about their impact on Obama’s historic campaign.

In barber shops and beauty salons, at church gatherings and on Internet blogs, African Americans said that Wright’s remarks might be badly damaging the senator from Illinois.

And they were flummoxed as to why Wright continued to speak out, particularly before two crucial primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.

“I am hurt and disgusted that one of the most historic political campaigns in the nation’s history could be derailed by this pastor who has been needlessly callous, careless and insensitive in his remarks,” said the Rev. John J. Hunter of First AME.

Some common sense from sensible people, who can see the big picture.

To the Wrights and the Sharptons of the world the picture is simple: If Obama gets elected a lot of the air will be let out of their over inflated portrait of racial hatred and racial victimhood in America. And then what would they do, poor things?

Thanks to Hot Air for this one.
