John McCain recently received the endorsement of Reverend John Hagee. McCain said he was very proud to get that endorsement and just last week reiterated on ABC that he was glad to have it. Now, look at the unbelievable and hate-filled sermon of Reverend Hagee below:
How do people get away with this kind of perversion of Christianity? At least, I hope it's a perversion. Because if that's what people think Christianity truly stands for, that's very scary. You can watch the longer version of this sermon here to get the full context. Trust me, it doesn't get any better, it only gets worse.
If other Christians don't stand up against people like Hagee, what does that say about Christianity?
And what does it say about John McCain that he is proud to be associated with this guy?

61. Birdman, those claims are not, "innuendo." You could check it our for yourself, but doing so would not fit the modus operandi of the lame-ass, wingnut, so you won't do it.
McCain did, indeed, change denominations during this camapign season. Look it up.
Hillary does, indeed, belong to a secretive group of Christians within the federal government, know as,"The Family." One of Hillary's early influences was a Methodist minister who is a spiritual leader of the group.
I won't do your homework for you. I'll just give you an "F," for your ill-advised post. Google it and I'll consider bumping your grade up to a "C-."

Actually, it is B-O-L-U-D-O-S, and that is a reference to you (you as in the general term), not my name. Yes, in deed that Billy Graham, unless of course you know of another Billy Graham. I have a strong suspicion that my opinion of Reverend Wright is not much different from yours, or that of most Americans. However, since he is not the one running for the highest position in the country, I am not too concern about the Reverend Wright or the anger he may harbored for all the injustice he no doubt had to live through because he was born black in a nation that has always been racially divided and prejudice.
This may be a hard concept for you and me to grasp since our ancestors were not robed from their homelands chained and treated worse than animals. We also did not have to worry about where we chose to eat or sit on a bus. We also did not have to wake up to burning crosses in our front lawns. However, this Reverend probably lived it.
Getting back to white Billy Graham, the one whose voice is on audio speaking when Nixon was president about his “Jewish Friends”, and how they would surround him and be with him, not knowing the things he would say about them (his Jew friends) when they were not around. Yes, I was referring to Billy Graham, from the planet earth where I reside.
Furthermore, you seem to take a lot of pride finding the wrong in others. I think it is time you take a good look in the mirror and tell the man looking back, “wow, I am a racist and I am afraid that a black man might become president.” Furthermore, the only reason I can come up with for feeling this way is that he is “Black”. Excuse you…? There is no excuse for you, sir. Furthermore, you have a lot of nerve talking about “my bias”. Examine your inner self before you talk.

63. I have found in my long life that the REPUBLICANS can and do rationalize everything in their lives. They make no sense at all. Never do.
Sad but true.

64. Boludos - For you to characterize someone as racist whom you've never met and know virtually nothing about is just silly and is just as baseless and unsupportable as your charges about Billy Graham and other preachers you've cited. Your skimpy explanation for your animus toward Graham further illustrates your left-wing bias.
Obama's relationship with dubious radicals - one of which advocates a radical hate-America-first policy (Wright) and another that actually bombed a government building (Bill Ayers) - is fair game. If we can't ask any questions about Obama because asking them makes us racist, then the political process is short-circuited and we wind up with a President we know very little about.
For you and Pastor Wright to keep beating the "America-is-racist" drum accomplishes nothing. If we want to do something for black people, let's stop destroying the black family with abortion and shoddy education in the inner cities.
It's liberals & progressives like you that defend the lunacy that is the inner city public school system which produces graduates, many of whom can't read their own diplomas. Whatever happened to "freedom of choice" in getting an education? White guilt does nothing for black people.
Your shrill tone is typical of the desperation of the Obama acolytes which feel this race (the only kind of race that matters here) slipping away.

The only thing that has NO-Bama still in the race is race.
If he was a White Conservative Republican with a bigoted mentor and friendships with radical domestic terrorist all of that information would have hit the "Ayer-waves" in the first week.

66. "The Family" and Christian Mafia
A secret organization that Hillary Clinton belongs who goals are..............(To be announced later?)
Project for New American Century- another secret organization, and some people thing the goals of this Conservative Organization led to invasion of Iraq and furture invasion of Iran. This organization is suppose to be the who's who of Conservatives and an organization to be feared by americans. But ever since the Head of that Board William Kristol was hired by NY Times, Project for New American Century has not been heard about.
Council on Foreign Relations-hmmm another secret organization, this one with the Obama connections. Mrs Obama quit her job $192,000 job at a Chicago Hospital to join/work for COFR. This organization is made up of Rich and Powerful, Politicans, famous named Republicans and Democrats. Their goals is OPEN BORDERS, OPEN TRADE, AND A NORTH AMERICAN UNION, made up of Mexico, Canada and USA. Just like the European Union, and also with a one common money supply. Mrs Obama just recently joined this organization and believes and works for its goals, which is the direct opposite of what Obama staes he stands on those issues.
All these secret organizations just have your head spinning.
One for Hillary, one for McCain, and one for Obama

67. Obama had an extremely close relationship, even being mentored by, a racist, America hating scumbag (Wright). Cenk, being a simple-minded little leftist, it comes as no surprise that he cannot distinguish the difference between the two situations. Of course Cenk and those of his ilk have no problem with Wright's hateful, racist rantings about eugenics and hatred of America.

Latest Polls
N.Carolina Obama was ahead of Hillary by 15%, 51-36, now only ahead by 7%, 49-42
Indiana-Obama had a lead 46-43, 3% over Hillary.
Now Obama trailing Hillary in Indiana 48-43, all in just 4 days
And Cenk wants Hillary to quit the race. If Hillary did that, it would make her as stupid as Cenk

69. Is this a legitimate issue? Yes. Going after Obama for the words of Jeremiah Wright made this an issue, if we are to be equitable.
Hagee is just one of many who have damned America under the banner of Jesus Christ, and I have not found yet a single congregation that does not damn someone or something. Obama was correct when he said the most segregated hour of American life is on Sunday morning, yet the pews are still filled.
For a man to sit in the pews for twenty years, does not say he agrees with what his pastor might say all the time. The underlying assumption fails to take into account that each of us have minds of our own and can take what we agree with . . . discard what we don't. Are we saying that all Catholics condone molestation of children by the clergy? Are we saying that Clinton should either leave Methodism or abandon her support of gays? I could easily cite example after example to support the inequity over the Wright issue.
McCain did not need to sit in the church to know what Hagee stood for. That Hagee was not silenced and his endorsement was accepted says McCain is equally as guilty as if he DID sit in the pews.
Fair is fair, and if you are going to hold one accountable, you have to hold all accountable including yourself. Failure to do so is hypocrisy . . . do as I say, not as I do . . . and anyone who understands what Jesus was about would know this was His biggest pet peave.

71. Cenk isn't a Christian so he has no clue what he is talking about. He is simply making a vain attempt to salvage Obama's Wright travesty.
Like a little kid saying, "you did it, too!"
The left will lie when the truth is better...

72. Once again the head of The Young TURDS is scraping the bottom of the shit heap to come up with a topic. Nobody pays any attention to Hagee, least of all John McCain. Yours is an obvious attempt to equate Obama's having participated in TWENTY YEARS worth of black-separatist, white-hating, America-hating vitriol as somehow equivalent to a Hagee endorsement. McCain doesn't attend Hagee's church and doesn't have a wife who espouses Hagee's views. The next time George Soros is giving it to you up the ass, why don't you ask him to not boff your remaining brains out!
URKiddinMee at 11:21AM on May 3rd 2008
73. MR TURK,ANYONE CAN GET ON U-TUBE. REV. HAGEE (WHO LOVES THE JEWISH PEOPLE,AS JESUS TOLD US TO), WAS SPEAKING OF ALL ABLE-BODIED WHO WILL NOT WORK!!IN JESUS DAY, EVERYONE SHARED WITH ONE ANOTHER(WERE FIRST AT COMMUNISM), LATER, PARTS OF THE WORLD TURNED COMMUNISM INTO A TYRANT PHILOSOPHY VOID OF LOVE.. FOOL! HARDEN NOT YOUR HEART,U MAY BE CUT OFF FROM GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT AND HAVE NO CONVICTON EVER TO REPENT AND BELIEVE.) JESUS IS GOD INCARNATE RECONCILING THE WORLD TO HIMSELF.NO MAN COMES TO GOD UNLESS JESUS HOLY SPIRIT DRAWS HIM.

Oh dear, I seem to have hit a nerve! Furthermore, do try to pay attention; you sir Dave is the boludo, allow me to explain what I mean. Atrapada en un infierno de boludos, translation, trapped in an inferno of A-holes. Therefore, boludo would be you.
For you to characterize someone as racist and as a Muslim just because he happens to be an African-American and running for the presidency hardly gives you any right to blame me for expressing a fact about an individual, not a lie about that individual.
Furthermore, you have every right to ask questions about Senator Obama and what he stands for, what his goals are and how he hopes to accomplish those goals. I do not believe anyone would suggest otherwise.
Therefore, get your head out of the sand, stop watching Fox and go straight to the source, in other words get yourself educated with facts not right wing talking points.
As I stated before, you and I probably have the same opinions regarding the whacky pastor, however, I kind of get where he is coming from. I do not excuse it and neither does the Senator! However, you do not want to see that or accepted it, because if you did accept it you would see the smearing campaign for what it truly is. Face it #61 you are the racist or just one more Republican with blinders on too tight to see or think for yourself.
Alternatively, if you are so concern about nut job Pastors, why are you not outraged at the things Pastor Hagee has said and continues to say? He may not have been around McCain for a long time, however, he did endorse McCain and the Senator embraced that endorsement with open arms. Therefore, I suggest you get of your high horse, and shut the hell up! As they say, “If it is good for the goose, it is good for the gander.”
If you wish to continue with your nonsense bring it on “BOLUDO” that would be you!
