"When Rudy Giuliani, still a viable candidate, successfully courted Pat Robertson for an endorsement last year, few replayed Mr. Robertson’s greatest past insanities. Among them is his best-selling 1991 tome, “The New World Order,” which peddled some of the same old dark conspiracy theories about “European bankers” (who just happened to be named Warburg, Schiff and Rothschild) that Mr. Farrakhan has trafficked in. Nor was Mr. Giuliani ever seriously pressed to explain why his cronies on the payroll at Giuliani Partners included a priest barred from the ministry by his Long Island diocese in 2002 following allegations of sexual abuse. Much as Mr. Wright officiated at the Obamas’ wedding, so this priest officiated at (one of) Mr. Giuliani’s. Did you even hear about it?"

The Wright/Hagee difference is a double standard that shouldn't be ignored. As for Rudy, I can't help but wonder if his stuff would have come out if he would have been more of a contender. His campaign never got any steam and fizzled out pretty fast.
I also wonder why they seem to have ignored some of Clinton's past dealings. The press seemed to have loved Obama in the beginning. Are they trying to compensate?
