Wright condemns criticism as an attack on black churches
"Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the Chicago pastor whose provocative sermons have damaged Barack Obama's campaign, today condemned criticism of his views as an attack on America's black churches.
Today's appearance was Wright's third in four days as the clergyman tried to counter the media uproar over his sermons.
The controversy has turned Wright into a hate figure of the rightwing cable networks, and allowed critics to paint Obama as unpatriotic and divisive.
But Wright argued his comments were misconstrued by a mainstream America that was unaware of the traditions of black worship in America.
"The most recent attack on the black church, it is not an attack on Jeremiah Wright. It's an attack on the black church," he told the National Press Club in Washington."
