He made that point you mention BY mocking JFK's patriotic statement. JFK's patriotic statement is his patriotism, ergo he made his point by making fun of JFK's patriotism.

Please do not lump in responses to other people in your responses to me without indicating that the quotes you list are not from me.

Wright did help Obama a lot in his quest to become Senator and he did volunteer to help him become President. Your argument at face value is not correct. However, your argument should not even be taken at face value. One does not have to have a "job" of trying "to help Obama get elected" in order to refrain from making comments that would destroy Obama's political ambitions.

As for your next question, (1) you omit the fact that Wright is retired and (2) if he had any decency, he should have STFU while in retirement.
