McCain ‘Very Honored’ By Support Of Pastor Preaching ‘End-Time Confrontation With Iran’ Think Progress Friday, February 29, 2008 Yesterday, hard-line conservative Pastor John Hagee, founder of Christians United for Israel, endorsed John McCain. Hagee said that McCain “is a man of principle, [who] does not stand boldly on both sides of any issue.” McCain, who had been courting the endorsement for over a year, said that he was “very honored by Pastor John Hagee’s endorsement.” Demonstrating how wildly out of the American religious and political mainstream Hagee’s views are, McCain’s acceptance of Hagee’s endorsement was condemned today by conservative William Donohue, president of the Catholic League. Calling Hagee a “bigot,” Donahue said the right-wing pastor has waged “an unrelenting war against the Catholic Church” by “calling it ‘The Great Whore,’ an ‘apostate church,’ the ‘anti-Christ,’ and a ‘false cult system.’” Hagee holds many other radical beliefs. In a 2006 address to CUFI, Hagee declared: The United States must join Israel in a pre-emptive military strike against Iran to fulfill God’s plan for both Israel and the West… a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation with Iran, which will lead to the Rapture, Tribulation, and Second Coming of Christ. (Article continues below) Speaking to the 2007 AIPAC conference, Hagee compared supporters of a two-state solution in the Middle East to Nazis. Hagee also echoed right-wing Israeli politician Binyamin Netanyahu, telling the audience that “Iran is Germany and Ahmadinejad is the new Hitler.” Paging Tim Russert: Someone should ask John McCain if, unlike Hagee, he supports a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, and whether he believes that a military strike against Iran would “fulfill God’s plan for…a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation” as Hagee does. UPDATE: Faith in Public Life has more. UPDATE II: Hagee’s tv show, “John Hagee Today,” is also broadcast on Cornerstone Television. In 1999, McCain wrote to the FCC on behalf of campaign contributor Lowell “Bud” Paxson, urging a deal that would have made $17.5 million for Cornerstone.

I wonder if JH knows the difference between a Jewish person and a Zionist.

Damn, I was 'bout ready to turn in but now I'm tempted to stick around till the Hagee gang jumps in. ;-)
Success is relative. It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things. T. S. Eliot
Sometimes winning stamps are on soup can lids and other crap people just throw away. Your Neighbor's Trash might be worth 25 Million Dollars, what do you think of that?
"This language is inexcusable. We are adults, trying to engage in adult civil conversation. This kind of vulgar outburst is like taking a crap in the middle of someone's dining room. You cannot converse in a civil manner, or disagree in a civil manner without resorting to crude vulgarities. Your inability to control yourself creates a situation that forces me to take control of the situation, and clean up the mess. Your account is terminated. " - Goldie Lox
Rather unsure actually. I don't hold much hope for my neighbors trash to be worth much tho.
