Obama, Wright, Sister Souljah and Israel

Richard Baehr has a typically astute analysis of “Obama’s Wright Turn” today in American Thinker, which includes this observation about Obama’s denunciation of Rev. Wright:

Barack Obama has been showing up at Wright’s church for close to 20 years and was exposed to his brand of crackpot racist anti-American lunacy on more than one occasion during this long period. So it is really way too generous, I think, to applaud the Senator for his dramatic "Sister Souljah moment" with his late-to-the party denunciation of Wright.  A real Sister Souljah moment would have required leaving Trinity Church before Wright became politically inconvenient for Obama, and not when Wright is beginning to threaten Obama’s bid for the Democratic nomination.

Actually, there was an earlier Sister Souljah moment that Obama passed up, relating to Israel.  Only American Thinker’s indefatigable Ed Lasky spotted it at the time, and only he has found “a buried nugget” in Rev. Wright’s Monday press conference:  “Rev. Wright’s Middle East Views.”
