Rebellious Religion Redux

Politico's Andrew Glass points out in a worthwhile read that Rev. Wright is certainly not the first or most controversial pastor in American history. Two figures mirror Wright's controversy and fall from grace. They are Rev. Samuel Buchard made famous for his "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion” line that hurt Republicans in the 1880's and Charles Coughlin who preached antisemitism via the YouTube of the day, the radio.
