Matthew Modine Shocks With N-word....

Actor Matthew Modine shocked TV viewers on Tuesday (29Apr08) when he used the N-word during a political debate.The Full Metal Jacket star appeared on America's The Bill O'Reilly Show to talk about his work promoting liberalism.Modine used the term after being asked his opinion of Revd. Jeremiah Wright - U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's former pastor - who had held a press conference the day before to defend his controversial sermons.

Wright hit the headlines last month (Apr08) when it was revealed his fiery sermons included nationalist leanings and racist undertones aimed at white America.The Chicago, Illinois minister made claims that the US government created the Aids virus to harm blacks and that the country brought the 9/11 terrorist attacks on itself.Obama has since severed ties to Revd. Wright, who married the senator and his wife and baptised the couple's children.And the poltically-active Modine waded into the war of words during his chat with newsman O'Reilly.
