He was just knocking George Bush... pointed out that one day, Bush praised Rosa Parks, and the next day he nominated a far right wing judge for the Supreme Court... one day he is laying wreaths on Dr King's grave, and the next day he is letting black Americans die, floating on boards in a flood.

He also spoke out against prosperity preaching.

I almost want to go to church, and I am an atheist. :)

4. paraphrased
If it wasn't for Rosa Parks, women in Arkansas, women in Texas, white women, they wouldn't have had any rights to sit or to stand up, either. She freed all of us.

When George Bush talks about democracy in Afganistan or Iraq, he
ain't talking about no democracy... he's talking about a Thomas Jefferson democracy... where women can't vote!
