McCain Endorsement Angers Catholic League President

Source: Washington Post

HOUSTON -- The president of the Catholic League today blasted Sen. John McCain for accepting the endorsement of Texas evangelicalist John Hagee, calling the controversial pastor a bigot who has "waged an unrelenting war against the Catholic Church."

Hagee, who is known for his crusading support of Israel, backed McCain's presidential bid Wednesday, standing next to the senator at a hotel in San Antonio and calling McCain "a man of principle."

But Catholic League President Bill Donohue said in a statement today that Hagee has written extensively in negative ways about the Catholic Church, "calling it 'The Great Whore,' an 'apostate church,' the 'anti-Christ,' and a 'false cult system.'"

...snip...

The McCain campaign had no immediate comment on the statement.

1. The Jesus Christers are battling each other
Let me get my popcorn and soda...front row seats my friends.

I love when one hate group bitch-slaps the other. McCain can't seem to win anything. When the news is that Obama gets the Nation of Islam endorsement MCCain's group must have been excited. Now it is back-firing after this Hagee nut-job endorses him and pisses off all the Catholics.

9. And then rinse and repeat
And then denounce and reject the endorsement, in case it didn't stick in the original order.

Bill Donohue is a fake.
