The title of this post might seem like an exaggeration, but in fact it is literal. Pastor John Hagee endorsed John McCain earlier this year and John McCain says to this day that he is proud of this endorsement. Pastor Hagee believes Hitler was sent to drive the Jews out from under the rocks they were living in and drive them to Israel through mass extermination. Furthermore, God gave the Jews a chance to go to Israel on their own and when they didn't, he sent Hitler to hunt them down.
You don't believe it? Listen for yourself:
How can McCain still be proud of this guy's endorsement? And how did Jeremiah Wright get all that coverage when this guy is a thousand times more offensive?

31. How does this site warrant a blog space. Almost all of the facts presented no matter what the topic are incorrect and all are targeted to smear president Bush. Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't the DEMOCRATS been in control of congress for at least 7 years. Not everything happening in politics today is the result of the Bush policy. Hold congress responsible for their jobs.
Zealot behavior should not be rewarded so I will never bother to read the site again. I wish AOL would remove the site from my sidebar because I occasionally hit tap the wrong area.

32. This is a sermon based on biblical references. Try to turn it into Hagee's own thoughts all you want- God said it first. The Jews are His chosen people but have had to face persecution all of their existence. This is bigger than your little simplistic view of how you think God should be. Just because the Jews were chosen to face persecution does not mean the Christians like it- we HATE it. This is God's work- His plan! It is important that we help the Jews keep their homeland.
And since when do you care about the Jews anyway? The Christians very much do.
Your "analysis" is ignorant and useless. But I am glad I read it.

33. J Boyd - Your anti-religious bigotry is breath taking. And we have a $3 Trillion annual budget, spending $80-100 Billion annually on Iraq. Some of that money goes to military salaries and US companies employing US citizens.
The only people trying to destroy the US economy are your liberal friends in Congress who won't let America drill for it's own oil. But why should they care? They're millionaires.
John - Race baiting is so unimaginative. Don't you have something better to do?

34. Robert Okane spends a couple of months claiming we shouldn't vote for Obama (though Okane voted for Obama)because Obama is an undercover Muslim.
Now Okane changes his tune and says we shouldn't vote for Obama because Muslims will hate him for being an "apostate."
Now, according to Okane, we must renounce Obama to APPEASE the Muslims and prevent, "honor killings."
Okane needs rabies shots. He's foaming at the mouth!
Robert Okane, America's next, "lone gunman?"

35. Dave, in a religious frenzy, justifies the Bush-Cheney Junta's ruinous effect on our economy by pointing out that a lot of the money is going to U.S. corporate, war profiteers.
Good work, Dave. Did you get that "logic" from Rush Limbaugh, the Haitian sex tourist, or did you get it from the anti-Catholic, anti-semitic, Christo-fascist, John Hagee?

36. "Pastor Hagee believes Hitler was sent to drive the Jews out from under the rocks they were living in..."? He most definitely did NOT say that. Quit inferring anti-semitic hate speech onto someone who loves the Jewish people. Can't stand when someone intentionally tries to stir up trouble with small bits of untruth/lies. That must just reflect Cenk's own take on how he really feels...are you an Anti-Semite, Cenk? It appears so by your own words.

37. You stupid jerk. Haggee is not McCain's pastor an you know it. He endorsed him is all. mcCain never attended a church service to hear his hateful sayings but we all know that Obama did sit for 20 years listening to Wright spew his hate filled messages.Big differnce pal and no amount of liberal spin is going to equate these two Pastors influences over the candidates.You liberal pigs would stoop to anything to try to discredit an honorable man that makes Obama look like a jr cub scout.running scared aren't you? You all know Obaba has no chance of being elected.

38. How does AOl allow you you to write this garbage and deliberate misrepresentations? I would never believe another word from you. Aol has to be desperate to let a hack like you blog.Shame on you , you lying sack of shit.

39. #41, Almost every one of Cenk's blogs are a misrepresentation of the facts. He uses outrageously exaggerated come-ons to attract our attention; much like he accuses Fox News of doing. Then, he never seems to have the facts to back up his argument. Now, most of us know that this is not "McCain's Pastor." Also, if yiou think Cenk gives a rat's ass about the Jews, I have a bridge to sell you. He's just using them as a prop to trash Mccain.

40. dep88y, did you even listen to the damn sermon? The guy obviously twisted and destroyed those words to suit his purpose. And to all of you who are saying that Hagee isn't McCain's pastor, I wonder if you heard the part where McCain said he was proud to have the guy's support? You all need a hearing check. Why do people always get up in other people's business? If someone wants to be Jewish, let them be Jewish! If someone wants to be Islamic, let them be Islamic! If someone wants to be Catholic or Atheist or Buddhist, since when is it your problem? Why can't people just let it go? So what if you think they need to be 'saved'? Well, they don't want to be saved, so just let them live their lives.

41. By Stank's "McCain's Pastor" logic, that makes Hamas Obama's "Policy Advisor" too, right?

42. Now that McCain has proven himself smarter than the majority of the posters by repudiating Hagee and rejecting the endorsement, I can't wait to watch the right-wing hate-mongers try to do a 180 degree turn.
Captain Negative at 5:59PM on May 22nd 2008
43. Well then, Birdman, you must have been ecstatic when Osama bin Ladin allegedly endorsed Bush-Cheney.
You're at odds with Robert Okane. He says we should APPEASE the Muslims by rejecting Obama.
You guys are just plain shcizophrenic!
Captain Negative at 5:59PM on May 22nd 2008
44. Looks like cappy hit the bottle early today... Who are you responding to? Can't make the distinction between two separate posts/posters?
By the way, using the word "allegedly" doesn't make your claims any less baseless.
BirdmanJones at 6:27PM on May 22nd 2008
45. Birdman is struggling.
Yeah, I can tell the difference between two posters... even when they are right-wing lunatics who have been processed through the same meat grinder.
What's your position, Birdman? Are we supposed to reject Obama (today) because he is an UNDERCOVER MUSLIM?
Or are we supposed to reject Obama (today) because the evil Muslims HATE Obama for not being Muslim enough?
Are you afraid there will be, "honor killings" if we elect Obama?
Are you a chicken-shit, like Okane is being now? Are you an APPEASER?
