You certainly do not hold him up as a standard unless you do.
He will also it appear do number 2, but that's not why he's been associated with them.

It is primarily number 3, but there's a bit of number 2 in the sense that he will (at least verbally) kick somebody to the curb and disassociate from them when it becomes politically inconvenient to remain associated with them.
You're correct about Wright. He said that Wright represents "the finest the black church has to offer." You don't say that about someone whose views you reject.
