Wow, Brooks just said it all and hit the nail right on the head.
It
is a really good piece, especially where it warns of ease for "the
comfortable white majority to write off black anger and mistrust as crazy"
This was the same as the rightwing explanation for 9*11: They hate us because ........ their crazy! I mean, YEAH RIGHT!

And what about McCains preachers: Hagee (thinks Catholics are spawn of the devil ... literally!), Fallwell etc?

There's
definitely some double standard going on here. Extreme rightwing repubs
get a free pass with THEIR conspiracy theories, but J. Wright is a
national threat?
Gimme a fat effing break.

Wrights AIDS
conspiracy theory might stem from a investigation by a British
journalist that AIDS could be the result of a medical experiment
performed on villagers in Africa, in the 60s, by ... major American
Pharmaceutical companies, battling to find a cure for polio. This
hypothesis however, has been rejected by British medical pundits.
What gets me about the whole Wright hype is that he's saying things that even most white Americans agree with these days:
Bush
is a bad man, the Iraq war is bad, and it's worse for black people than
whites as a whole. It probably is equally bad for both POOR whites and
black people, but comparing blacks v whites, the war has hit ALL blacks
harder than ALL whites put together. Not many could disagree with that,
I think.
Oh, and he's also saying that black people have it worse than whites in America. Also, nothing new and ... true.

My
conclusion is that the whole "Wright-issue" was, perhaps not drummed up but still excessively squeezed bone-dry by both Clinton and extreme right
wingers, like rush limbo.
It was supposed to be their golden get
out-of-jail-free card, Clinton to the nomination, and the repubs to an
easy win in November. North Carolina proved that it might be neither.
