McCain can run, but he can't hide, from Hagee's endorsement

[ck4829]

John McCain is refusing to renounce the endorsement of a prominent Texas televangelist who Democrats say peddles anti-Catholic and other intolerant speech.

Instead, the Republican presidential candidate issued a statement Friday afternoon saying he had unspecified disagreements with the San Antonio megachurch leader, John Hagee. Hagee endorsed him at a news conference Wednesday in San Antonio.

"However, in no way did I intend for his endorsement to suggest that I in turn agree with all of Pastor Hagee's views, which I obviously do not," McCain said in the statement.

His campaign issued the statement after two days of criticism from the Democratic National Committee, the Catholic League and Catholics United.

McCain was pressed on the issue Friday morning in Round Rock, Texas. Hagee "supports what I stand for and believe in," McCain said.

Hagee thinks that bringing about the apocalypse would be a good thing.

So, if Hagee supports you, then you better check your platform.

3. Would you buy a used god from this man?

Or, even, listen to his endorsement?

Hagee is a real under a rock neandreathal. When I lived in San Antonio I knew folks involved in his church and it was damn near cult like. Wommin obey yer husbands, husbands, take charge of yer wives. You coloured folk, thanks for coming, now sit up front where we can get you on the jumbo-tron to show our deeversity.
