Mea culpa. I read too fast:
Wright said ... that the U.S. created the AIDS virus to kill African Americans.

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio -
And that was crazy, and something that Obama denounced. Don't see how that's representative of the pastor's sermons, though.
As the video above indicates."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor for the last 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's south side, has a long history of what even Obama's campaign aides concede is "inflammatory rhetoric," including the assertion that the United States brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own "terrorism."Originally posted by Ramo

And as I wrote, that was wrong in tone and timing. 9/11 was, to some extent, a consequence of our foreign policy. That is a very different thing from saying that we deserved 9/11.
Incidentally, direct quotes are better than vague summaries.
And again:
The controversy is over a few quotes. Recycling those quotes doesn't bolster your argument.Don't see how that's representative of the pastor's sermons, though."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

You're not presenting any evidence to the contrary.
The case that the controversial quotes weren't aberrant isn't made by mentioning one of those controversial quotes."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "
