It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a pig!!
Catholic League President Bill "I
am the Catholic League" Donahue makes an apparently reasonable point, issuing a
statement declaring that...
Hagee has written extensively in negative ways about the Catholic Church, "calling it 'The Great Whore,' an 'apostate church,' the 'anti-Christ,' and a 'false cult system.'"
"Senator Obama has repudiated the endorsement of Louis Farrakhan, another bigot. McCain should follow suit and retract his embrace of Hagee."
There's a difference of course. The Farrakhan endorsement was unsolicited, undesired and unaccepted. McCain's embrace of TV preacher John Hagee was literal, appearing with him to announce his pride in the endorsement of a man well described in a comment at
The Trail as...
"An apocalyptic millenarian whose support for Israel is part of a vision of destruction of Baghdad and Christ's return with all the Jews converting."
John McCain versus
kids, Catholics and
the planet.
What a day.
