Re 'Thank God for Rev. Wright,' letter, April 14:It is ridiculous that the writer compares the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to Dr. Martin Luther King, or thinks that he speaks like a prophet. Spouting hate speech from a pulpit hardly makes you a man of God.

If Sen. Obama had attended a few of his sermons, I wouldn't think twice about it. But to have been a member of his church for the past 20 years gives me cause for alarm.
