Hagee and McCain deserve each other.

Does anyone else think this guy is a complete assclown?

From the article :
::begin quote::
In a sermon given at his San Antonio, Texas Cornerstone megachurch that was telecast and available in up to ninety million homes worldwide, controversial pastor John Hagee, who has endorsed the presidential bid of Arizona Republican Senator John McCain, Jr., claimed that American public schools provide abortion services. Hagee stated, "Your daughter can get an abortion in public school without telling you but she can't get an aspirin without your approval." The pastor also claimed that public school teachers can force their students to study a "precursor to witchcraft" and suggests that America has invited "satan" and demonic spirits into its public school systems by failing to display the Ten Commandments on classroom walls. Presidential hopeful John McCain, Jr. has said he is "glad to have" Hagee's support and "admires" the leadership of the Texas pastor - who has declared God has cursed and doomed America. :

Somehow, the same people who are ALL over Rev. Wright are going to listen to this and nod their heads and murmur to themselves how right he is. Is McCain going to have distance himself from this nutball? Will the conservatives demand he "throw Hagee under the bus"? I suspect they will not.

But wait ! There's more :

::quote::
Presidential candidate McCain, who has said he "admires" Hagee's leadership of the pastor's San Antonio based Cornerstone megachurch, actively sought out and has said he is "glad to have" pastor Hagee's political endorsement. McCain has not disavowed Hagee's support regardless of growing public controversy over the pastor's speech and writing which has been characterized, variously, as anti-Catholic, anti-Jewish, anti-Islamic, anti-Semitic, anti-gay and misogynist.

Somehow I'm not surprised that McCain hasn't disavowed Hagee. After all, he thinks women don't need equal pay,they only need education and training.

Psssssst, Senator McCain : Education is great, I personally am a big fan of it. However the issue isn't getting the job.....its being paid fairly for doing it. As far as the training part of your suggestion, well, I am not a monkey or a dog thankyewverymuch.

Lastly I would like to quote Senator McCain (referring to a vote in the Senate) :

“Anyone who had the misfortune of watching it will know how hard it is to do the Lord’s work in the city of Satan,” said McCain, who has served four-terms in the Senate.

March 2008

I am very uncomfortable with a politician who think he is doing the Lord's work. In fact Iraq sprang to mind as soon as I read this. I did get sort of a giggle out of the fact that he is campaigning to be the head honcho of the "city of Satan".
