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?

69. Ah, namecalling-the last act of the hopelessly wrong. Especially sad when coming from someone that can't tell the difference between the Obama/Wright and McCain/Hagee "relationships".

72. When is Obama going to repudiate the "Hamas" endorsement and the Jane (I killed 3 Viet POW's) Fonda????????
Why is many of those on the Left and many Liberal Fascist, so much want to wipe away Obama's Muslim connections?????
Are they worried that enough US voters will not put someone in the White House who has so many Muslim connections.

Hi April
Welcome back home, how was your trip?
You are correct when you state that Hagge is not McCain’s Pastor, he is just the Pastor that McCain and his campaign sought out for an endorsement to appease the Evangelical vote (speaking of someone that does not give a rat’s ass about a group of people).
Moreover, McCain did not think it was necessary to reject or denounce this man when he called the Catholic Church “the great whore”, or when he blamed Katrina on gays. Even after McCain was asked about these statements about Pastor Hagee, sure, he may have said, “he did not agree with such statements”, but it was business as usual as far as McCain, the Media and the right were all concern.
Now weeks later when this Pastor brings up Hitler and the inevitable possibility of offending Jews comes up, Pastor Hagge get are the boot. Well, let us then focus on Pastor Parsley, now there is a real piece of work. However, he is only insulting those of the Muslim faith; therefore, McCain is still holding on to this hate monger.
Do you not just LOVE the double standard hypocritical way of the right wing, do as we say, not as we do. Never as we do, that is only a privilege for our "kind".

75. HE IS NOT "MCCAIN'S PASTOR". JUST BECAUSE HAGEE ENDORSED MCCAIN DOES NOT MAKE HAGEE MCCAIN'S PASTOR. MCCAIN HAS IN FACT REJECTED HIS ENDORSEMENT. YOUR A DUMBASS AND YOUR ARTICLE IS BIASED FROM THE TITLE ON DOWN.
