Now this guy is surrounding himself with militant Islamist goons.
But of course he is. His message is NOT Christianity, but something all together different. He just hides behind religion to spout his beliefs.
And folks who point out how much "good" he has done for the "community" over the years need only look to see how much "good" the KKK and other hate groups ALSO do for their "communities". They just don't get press for it, nor are allowed to use it as a shield for their BAD things.

My maternal grandfather (who, thankfully, seems to have changed as he got older) used to be a very bad man. He beat my grandmother and even beat my mother while she was still an infant in the cradle. Apparently, local law enforcement were either unable or unwilling to do anything about it, but when the KKK got wind of his actions, they basically ran him out of town, telling him in no uncertain terms that if they heard of him doing such things again they would kill him.
In fact, the KKK started not so much as a 'hate' group as a group of former Confederate officers who made it their mission to see that men who were able worked to support their families, didn't beat up on women and children, etc. They would hear about an 'offender' and go to his house at night. Back then, rather than burning wooden crosses' they most often burned a cross into the front lawn as a 'warning'. If a man got that cross burned into his lawn and didn't 'straighten up', they'd come back and pay him a little 'visit'. Do those things excuse the hatred, bigotry and outright terrorism that has since been and is still being perpetrated by the KKK? Hell no. They are hate-filled racist scum, just like Wright.

Thank you for posting such a personal example. And you are correct. And the KKK also puts/has put many children though college, helped families in need, and the list goes on.... similar to what is being touted the Wright has done for his community.
We can not let some good deeds blind us to the truth of the person/organization.

It is as I have posted before he is out for his own agenda and I truly believe it is not in the best interest of America. And all this hiding behind good deeds is only a cover up for a underling evil. This guy gets in we are seriously in trouble.I can not believe people are blinded by this guy,and think he is the one who will be good for our country.This just boggles me.

Yes. Reverse example:

In the Battle of Normandy (June 6–August 25, 1944), he crash-landed his glider with the 82nd Airborne Division. For his military service, he received 18 decorations, medals and awards, including the Legion of Merit with Oak Leaf Cluster, Bronze Star with Valor device, Purple Heart, World War II Victory Medal, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, Belgium's Order of the Crown and France's Croix de Guerre.
When Strom died at 100 years old, people cheered, because in his younger days, he had been a black segragationist. All his WWII valor and honor, and all the medals he received were meaningless.
