Andrew Sullivan on March 14:
You don't disown a man this close to Obama's spiritual development over the years for political reasons. Obama's not a Clinton.
Andrew Sullivan on March 18:
I would think much, much less of him if he disowned a spiritual guide because of that man's explicable if inexcusable resort to paranoia and racial separatism and anger.
Andrew Sullivan on March 25:
I do not believe his refusal to disown Wright is a function of politics, but a function of human loyalty and love, which can often transcend or even be empowered by that loved one's flaws, and even malice.
And finally, Andrew Sullivan today:
I believe he has to publicly and clearly and irrevocably disown him and say in words that are clear and bright that Wright is now anathema to the campaign.
