Paul Mirengoff: "The cherry-picking defense, even when plausible, has never been accepted when it comes to racism. Don Imus, for example, has received widespread condemnation for very occasional statements that showed racial insensitivity. Trent Lott was condemned for one statement praising Strom Thurmond's 1948 presidential campaign. Obama appears to be playing a double game here, distancing himself from Wright without really denouncing him."
