Sen. Barack Obama on Saturday decried “the forces of division” over race that he said are intruding into the Democratic presidential nomination contest.

Why didn’t he complain about divisive rhetoric for those 20 years he sat in pews listening to his pastor sound like H. Rap Brown?

UPDATE: Victor Davis Hanson boils it down:

So the question will simply be left to the American voter:
EITHER: ‘Obama probably knew what was going on at Trinity, but, given the complex circumstances and Obama’s other strengths, it doesn’t matter enough to affect my vote;’

OR: ‘Obama’s attendance and his feeble reaction to the criticism of Wright provide a valuable warning of why someone so inexperienced and yet so familiar with extremists should not be President of the United States next year.’

It’s left to the electorate, as it should be.
