Rev. Jeremiah Wright is now backtracking on the anti-Semitic comments he made recently. According to The Washington Post, Rev. Wright said this on the "Make It Plain" show with Mark Thompson broadcast on Sirius Satellite Radio,
"Let me say like Hillary, I misspoke. Let me just say: Zionists. I was walking from a worship service to my car, trying to talk rapidly, trying to explain, answer this guy and trying to get him off the Barack Obama kick."
The Washington Post piece also notes that Rev. Wright released this statement in all capital letters after his "Them Jews" comment in which he said he is, "EXTREMELY DISTURBED AND DEEPLY SADDENED THAT ONCE AGAIN MY COMMENTS HAVE RESURFACED THIS DIVISIVE DEBATE ABOUT MY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MYSELF AND PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, WHOM I LOVE AS MY SON AND SUPPORT AND HONOR AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATED OF AMERICA. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE WAY I FRAMED MY COMMENTS. I MIS-SPOKE AND I SINCERELY MEANT NO HARM OR ILL-WILL TO THE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMUNITY OR THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION."
