MCCAIN ON HAGEE THE HORRIBLE

posted Thursday, 24 April 2008
A reporter on McCain's campaign bus actually asked him about John Hagee's evil and imbecilic comments about Hurricane Katrina being divine retribution for our "sinfulness." Here's an account from Fox News, I wish the source was less creepy but here's their version: 

"Q: What is your reaction (to Hagee Katrina comments)?

McCain: It’s nonsense.

Q: Would you withdraw accepting his endorsement?

McCain: It’s nonsense, it’s nonsense, it’s nonsense. It’s nonsense. I don’t have anything additional to say about that. It’s nonsense.

Q: Do you regret accepting his endorsement?

A: It’s nonsense. I don’t have anything more to say about that. Of course–I apologize for that. It’s nonsense. I reject that categorically and I would point out there’s a lot of people who have endorsed me. They support my views. That does not mean that I support–would I consider repudiating his endorsement? I certainly condemn those parts of his remarks. I continue to appreciate his support for the state of Israel and for many of the good things that he and his church has done. But I repudiate as strongly as possible those remarks and those of the Catholic church as well."

So, his comments are nonsense but Senator Walnuts refuses to renounce Hagee's endorsement? This is straight talk? It's 100% crapola, folks. Will McCain's weasely answer satisfy the MSM? Alas, it probably will. I'm not holding my breath until Tim Russert, Adam Nagourney or david Broder calls him on this...

Does that sound familiar to anyone? You are all playing the same game, Dems (Obama supporters) and McCain supporters. You get angry and self righteous when it happens to your candidate, then you turn around and do the same against the other. Being a Dem or Repub. is like having a license to be a hypocrite, particulalrly during these rediculous election seasons.

The most self righteous person I can think of is McCain. He's the one who has held himself up to such an impossibly high standard. It's hard not to take pot shots at him. Also, it's the press who are so big on the renouncing thing. It's the Russert speciality.

This has gone beyond ridiculous.

The reason Rev. Wrights comments have relevance is because Obama was a member of Wright's church for 20 years. That was a consensual relationship. Obama joined and stayed a member of that church. I am more than satisfied with Obama's explanation. Wright on the other hand seems determined to take advantage of his moment in the national spotlight regardless of the consequences. He is rapidly becoming Obama's Bill Clinton.

Hagee, and his wacko views are several steps removed from McCain. It is apples and walnuts.
