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?

76. Hagee is not, nor has he ever been, John McCain's pastor. Stop trying to act as if this situation is in any way comparable to the Obama/Rev. Wright controversy!

77.
CENK has become a dis-information specialist to a mean uneducated populous socially-engineered in government owned schools. Nobody really believes CenK anyways.
JOHN HAGEE is NOT even McCain's pastor! John Hagee withdrew his his public support for John McCain and John McCain rejected John Hagee's initial public support. Most people realize that a public figure or a well known person does NOT elect a president - the people do. Cenk's argument is petty and irrelavent. Too many liberal talking heads base their idea of electability on public image and rhetoric - not substance. Cenk has become the blowheart and a liberal clown. The average voter looks at him as pathetic.
No matter how much "terrorist-attitude defending" Cenk rants in order to reduce the level of patriotism in America, OSAMA OBAMA will never be elected as President of the UNITED STATES.

78. You ignorant YT's or just down right out and out liars. It is not his pastor, just a pastor giving him his support. Unlike OBL who has had the same mentor pastor for the past 20 years. Either research what you are saying, or quit lying.

79. Honestly, whether he's McCain's actual pastor or not, McCain AGREED with him, he's a sick, worthless and racist pig. Obama has this election in the bag, republican rule is over, it's time for a real change and republican obviously isn't the way because if it was we wouldn't be over in Iraq getting our men and women killed right now over oil.

80. You are a total moron. You know damn well that he is not McCain's Pastor and yet you print it. You have no creditability.

82. You would be shocked at how many people actually believe something like this. Some people have it into their heads that homosexuals should be killed, just like the Nazi's did to the Jews. Some do it to pedosexuals or want to. Etc. etc. etc..... nearly every differing faith, race or gender on this planet has someone who wants to wipe it out, and I don't understand that and I ESPECIALLY don't understand why their imaginary 'gods' are invoked to give them the right to do that.
This is the EXACT reason why I say that it is time to go to an Atheistic society. If you are HONEST in an Atheistic society, you cannot justify killing another person for ANY reason, save if they are trying to kill you at that very moment.

83. Hagee is as much McCains Pastor as Osama bin Laden is Cenks Imam!!!!

84. Cenk, you obviously missed the memo. Apples to oranges indeed. One is Christian, and one is...oh wait, he's Christian, too. Well, one is the leader of a congregation, and one is...oh, they both are. Well, one has been preaching hatred arguably for decades, and...well, I guess that's the same too. Hm. Oh! I know! One is saying things the nazi conservatives AGREE WITH, and one isn't!
There you have it, you can't possibly compare these two radically different people.
Apples to oranges, indeed.
