Hillary’s Voice

I have been very curious as to why nobody seems able to locate a copy of “The Trumpet” containing the eulogy for Asa Hilliard written and delivered by Jeremiah Wright. The media has been quoting parts of the eulogy noting that Pastor Wright calls Italians “garlic-nosed” and giving references to “lynching” Italian style.
In an effort to be fair minded and read the whole sermon, I went to Googling the “Trumpet.” HM MM, very strange, all issues have disappeared from the Internet. As another writer, I think it was Flea Flicker, (apologies to the writer if it was not Flea Flicker, get with me and I will give you credit) pointed out in another publication, not an easy task to just make things disappear from the Net. I did find a cached version of the Nov-Dec issue, with the first page of the eulogy. It continued on page thirty, which was not cached.
Now I was getting REALLY curious. What was in this eulogy that could be so inflammatory as to cause it to be eliminated (is suppressed to strong a word?) When you follow the link to the Trumpet, you get re-directed to another page. Not willing to give up, I continued searching.
On a discussion board I did find what purports to be a copy of the eulogy. Seems a participant in the discussion board was very upset that the bad old media was once again taking the poor Reverend out of context. Said participant provided a link so others could read the entire eulogy and see the Italian comments in context. AH HA, just what I wanted- to read the whole thing, to get the “context.”
What an eye-opener! The eulogy does praise Dr. Hilliard for his life’s work. The eye-opening part is what the media is not telling us. Given that the Texas County conventions are upon us and that the National convention is being held in Denver, I offer the following (out of context) as the reason this is being suppressed. I do not think the people of Texas view the Alamo in quite the same way as Rev. Wright. And what the people of Denver would think of the comments regarding their city remains to be seen.
