McCain Sought Out John "The Catholic Church Is the Great Whore" Hagee's Endorsement

Remember all that stuff about Obama and his pastor's conspiracy theories, only Obama repudiated all of the controversial words but the media didn't really care about that and instead just spent a whole week repeating Wright's sermons on loop nonstop until everyone got really tired of the whole thing nevermind that Obama denounced the controversial sermons and clearly doesn't agree with them?

I'll bet you do.

Well it turns out that not only did McCain heartily accept the endorsement of John Hagee (aka the White Farrakhan), he SOUGHT OUT that endorsement.

A summary of Hagee's insanity:

- Supports Israel as a condition of the coming rapture
- Called the Catholic Church "the Great Whore"
- Claimed that the Koran contains a mandate to kill Jews and Christians
- Said Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for a gay rights parade and that New Orleans brought it on itself.

Can you imagine what would happen if Barack Obama went and said, "Hey Louis Farrakhan, would you endorse me? Pretty please?" And then they held a press conference together?

Yeah. Me neither.

I'm sure the media will be all over this.

Not really.

I believe this and ultra neocon "Religious Right" Rod Parsley was called McCain's "spiritual adviser" by McCain himself.

Exaaaactly. How many Republicans have pandered to arch-conservative yahoos with no political consequences over the years? Hmmm... I'd say it's just about every single one who wanted to be considered a contender. This whole discrepancy is so smelly, I can't stomach it.

Everything John Hagee said is actually true.

Hagee has written a number of best-selling books and is a Southern Gospel recording artist.
