Oh, right. Only preachers who make bat-shit crazy statements on behalf of Democratic candidates produce responses of shock and outrage from the likes of O'Reilly, Scarborough, Linbaugh, Malkin, et al.

Sorry, my bad.

He also called the Nazis "agents of God's boundless love." Pretty damn fucked up.

Examples of this are calling the invasion of Afghanistan a "crusade" or tolerating a fundie general who called Moslems satanists, but it goes back earlier.

The point is to fool all of the people all of the time. The fundies believe that you're a fundie at heart, and the rest of the public buys your excuses that you didn't mean to subscribe to anything that extreme.

Either sit around and and get gassed, tortured, and have your corpses burned, OR you can take your chances with the Palestinians.

Not even on Comedy Central to Jon Stewart?

Why does McSame hate our American values so?

Hey CA@20, read the rest of the comments. We know. Neither, technically, is Rod Parsley, though he's also an ally whom McCain calls his "spiritual adviser". McCain's conversion from Episcopalian to Southern Baptist in the last few years makes it difficult to know where he stands, but he still should have to renounce bigoted support as Obama had to renounce Rev Wright.

I read a good letter to the editor (in TIME of all places) defending Rev. Wright and black churches, describing them as fiercely patriotic, but not nationalistic. The writer closed with: "We love America, but are not infatuated with her."

But Haggie is just an endorser of McCain and not his pastor which is true. Still, McCain should have vetted him much better before hopping in the political sack with him. But I am not holding my breath for McCain to reject and denounce him. Especially since the callendar breaks down as Rejection Mondays and Denounciation Tuesdays and Shunning Wednesdays oh and Appeasement Fridays.

Everyone else,
Does he have to be his pastor? McCain sought Hagee's endorsement. It's repudiate and denounce time. Of course McCain doesn't want to, because he wants the moron vote. But can you imagine if Obama had sought the endorsement of Farrakhan? Whom he had to reject and denounce live on tv because - I dunno, they're both black?

Look, McCain can even say "Hagee's a great guy in many ways [provide list], but I don't agree with him on this." What Obama did to Wright after the youtubes. That's all I ask.

You mean like “Obviously, I find these remarks and others deeply offensive and indefensible,” and “I did not know of them before Reverend Hagee’s endorsement, and I feel I must reject his endorsement as well?”

McCain does not appear to be as big of a dick as most Republican candidates.
