An excerpt a discussion on CNN between Anderson Cooper, Joe Klein and Hillary Clinton supporter Lanny Davis.  They were talking about Hillary Clinton’s assertion that Rev. Wright wouldn’t have been her pastor.

DAVIS: I think it’s a legitimate way that she said it, which is that she personally would not put up with somebody who says that 9/11 are chickens who come home to roost, that Israel is a state-sponsored organization — nation, and that there are generic comments made about America…

KLEIN: Lanny, you’re doing it right now.

COOPER: Lanny, it is amazing. Lanny, it is amazing. I’m not taking sides here, but we all know what the comments were. It’s funny that you feel the need to repeat them over and over again.

DAVIS: It’s appropriate.

KLEIN: You know, Lanny, Lanny, you’re spreading the — you’re spreading the poison right now.

So, wait.  Obama gets a pass on choosing to sit in Rev. Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright’s congregation for two decades, but Obama’s political opponents can’t repeat Wright’s comments on television too often?

Double standards, anyone?
