But Judah, there is no connection here and there is no bridge between Wright's anger and Michael's support of Israel. They are not equivalent at all. Reverend Wright's anger is not understandable to me or to Michael because as a Jew, I am not angry the way Reverend Wright is. Neither is Michael. In truth, Michael's community is you guys -- he works tirelessly for the advancement of ColdFusion and ColdFusion programmers. And I could never, ever admire someone like Reverend Wright. Actions are what define a man, not oppression -- or past oppression.
