From Chicago Tribune:
Rev. Jeremiah Wright got a raucous standing ovation when he entered Saint Sabina church on the city's South Side on Friday night, according to video from WBBM-TV. Members yelled "Hallelujah!" as Wright embraced The Rev. Michael Pfleger, Saint Sabina's pastor.
The smiling Wright accepted an invitation to give the benediction at the Roman Catholic church but did not address the furor over his past sermons. He also sang "Happy Birthday" to Angelou, whose birthday is April 4.

Wright Quotes:
" ...wants us to sing God bless America. No, no, no, not God bless America, God damn America..."

Wright and his followers have been exposed. There is nothing more the sane in this country can do, except bear this in mind in the future when dealing with his constituents.
