Unless its Joel Osteen, the Presidential candidates in this country should run, fast, in the opposite direction from any preachers who want to back them. Those big mouths only seem to bring embarrassment to those in the race:
LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- John McCain on Thursday rejected the endorsement of televangelist John Hagee after it was reported that the pastor once argued the Nazis operated on God's behalf to root out Jews in Europe and get them to Palestine.

Poor guy. Just went from spritual advisor to disowned.Unless its Joel Osteen, the Presidential candidates in this country should run, fast, in the opposite direction from any preachers who want to back them. Those big mouths only seem to bring embarrassment to those in the race:

Funny, I was just reading about Rod Parsley, another preacher who backs McCain, and Parsley wants adulterers prosecuted. That's another preacher who should only be heard in church, and never sought for political backing.
But he only wanted their endorsement recently. He didn't sit in church for 20 years. Yeah because the last 8 years haven't been enough proof that the religious right doesn't need you to be in their churches. You just need to be in their debt after every election. McCain proves to be no exception.
You need to see the humor in these things.
But did he disown him enough?
:lol:
Yes. McCain is fortunate that this clown didn't mentor him, marry him or baptise his children. Imagine if a serious candidate had stuck arouond some wacko preacher like this for twenty years of so...
:screwy
The Republican/Religious-Right love-fest is hilarious. They all swear it's not happening but yet you can't help but see the same patterns as in 2000 & 2004. McCain. The compassionate conservative who wants to help 'deserving home owners'(whatever that means) actively seeking the endorsement of people who actually want faith-based warfare. It's hilarious as far as hypocrisy goes.
Sure.
And just what ARE "deserving home owners"?
McCain rejects this guy right away
Angry White Men who support McCain and salute American flags made in China.
McCain rejects this guy right away
Unlike Obama who said he could no way reject his racist preacher mentor who said no way could I reject the rev Wright then I can the black race McCain rejects this guy right away and he is not even his minister like Wright was for 20 years with Obama.......
BZZZZZZZZZZZT!
WRONG.
Hagee's been saying horrible crap for MONTHS, and NOW McCain rejects him?
Too little, too late.
McCain rejects this guy right away
I think I understand what Hagee meant, although he really didn't say it well. It sounded like he meant that the Holocost was the way the Jews were supposed to get back to Israel. And I'm not saying that to be offensive, either. According to the Bible, the Israelites, Abraham's family, are meant to have Israel forever, but they weren't there. After WWII they were given Israel back, so it seems like maybe that was the only way they'd go back.
I'm not God, so I dunno what He thinks about it, and the preacher did say it kinda funny and freaked everyone out, and I could even be wrong, that's just what it sounds like, IMHO.
However, I do resent the comparison with a certain Senator who attended the church of a bigoted pastor for 20 years, married him, and served as his religious mentor.
