From TPMtv: There's been a lot of chatter over the last few days about John McCain's embrace of Pastor John Hagee, who's well-known for a history of anti-Catholicism and claims that God will send terrorists to create a "bloodbath" in America for its support of a two state solution in Israel/Palestine. So what is it exactly that Hagee's said and just how much has McCain cozied up to him? We thought we'd put all the choicest moments into one quick video so you could take a look and make up your own mind.
We can talk about the goofy beliefs of Hagee as well as the aryans but they have a right to endorse whomever they wish. It doesn't necessarily mean the candidate shares the beliefs of those who donate to them.
And if it were no big deal, why would McCain suddenly repudiate Hagee's remarks today? If it were any other candidate they'd be under the same pressure to disavow this hatemonger.
Is McCain a member of Hagee's "church"?
Either way, Hagee ain't Wright.
Second, a homophobe is someone who fears homos. Baptists don't fear homos. They just don't like their lifestyle.
Third, at least he isn't anti-American, anti-white like Wright.
Especially under the microscope of today's internet. I think his straight talk will get him into trouble, or he'll either cave and just give us the same talking points over and over again!
