McCain's pal Rev. Hagee: "Hitler was doing God's Will"

[zulchzulu]

Funny how this isn't on the news.... :shrug:


Grandpa McSame with Hagee

Going in and out of biblical verse, Hagee preached: "'And they the hunters should hunt them,' that will be the Jews. 'From every mountain and from every hill and from out of the holes of the rocks.' If that doesn't describe what Hitler did in the holocaust you can't see that."

-Reverend Hagee

Funny how McSame said about Hagee:

"I admire and appreciate his advocacy for the state of Israel, the independence of the state of Israel."

And lookie here, Joe LIEberman digs Hagee too:

1. Well now, isn't that interesting?

This one's going to require two bags.

:popcorn: :popcorn:

I'm particularly interested to see how Lieberman attempts to slither away from this one.

2. I really hope Obama is not going to take the high road with that fool.

Exit poll after exit poll, people don't care if you took the low road, they'll still vote for you. Somehow they view this as a fighter, and tough.

3. Any reference to Wright should be immediately met with Hagee.

4. wow...just...wow

[Bicoastal]

5. Still, Hagee is, in fact, WHITE.

So it's ok.

:sarcasm:

[DemGa]

6. Hagee is nuts for sure -

But are Hagee and McCain nearly as close as were the Rev. Wright and Obama?

Ahem, before Obama threw Wright beneath the bus, of course.

I don't think so.

[Kool Kitty]

7. McCain actually actively sought this

fuckin' half-wit's endorsement. I think it counts a lot.

[DemGa]

9. It's relevant, I agree

If it will stick I say go for it! I've tuned in on a rare occasion to Hagee - frightening stuff! lol

[yardwork]

8. Since Hagee is an official part of McCain's campaign, I'd say he's closer

Obama was blamed for things that Wright said years ago, and Wright was never part of Obama's campaign. In contrast, McCain invited Hagee to travel with him as an official "spiritual leader" of McCain's campaign.

I'd say that Hagee's comments are more relevant than Wright's.

11. They're both white. Unlike YOU, America is not ready to vote for an Angry White Person.

[Mezzo]

14. Please stop being racist. Yes, you heard me RACIST.

[AllentownJake]

18. If you'd take your Obama hating hat off for a minute

This pisses off the freeper base because a majority of them agree with Hagee and already distrust McCain. Everytime McCain denounces one of their prophets less and less of them will show up in November.

[Leopolds Ghost]

10. Not a single fucking Hagee post on the Front Page of this site... Double Standard.

On AC 360 was the only people willing to talk about it and their "regular commentators" looked VISIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE as if they had been told in the STRONGEST POSSIBLE TERMS not to criticize the Christian Right.

That creep Candy Crowley said "so-and-so from Family Research council is right, this is going to blow over. McCain fixed this, this is getting really silly, enough is enough."

And other jackass commentator said that there was a qualitative difference between Hagee and Wright, that Wright's comments were far more offensive and that Hagee was not McCain's pastor.

[FrenchieCat]

12. I noticed. They were putting the whole thing to bed ASAP.

A 15 minute segment and it was all over.

Pastorbating ain't what it used to be. ;(

[Mezzo]

13. Holy shit! I missed it!! Was McCain in Hagee's church for twenty years?

and don't you idiots know that Hagee in the news equals Rev Wright back in the news?

[AllentownJake]

17. Actually

This is good because the born again freepers already don't trust McCain. This isn't about independents this is about pissing off McCain's base.

[ccharles000]

15. Disgusting.

[AllentownJake]

16. The people paying attention to this

Are the freeper born agains. They are none to happy that McCain keeps throwing their prophets under the bus. They don't like McCain already for attacking Falwell and Robertson in 2000. Throwing the "prophets" out of his campaign makes them like him less. These people are used to having a guy that is one of them "W" and are none to happy that their nominee isn't their particular brand of radical Christianity.

19. I DID see this on the news.
