In addition to having previously referred to Catholicism as “The Great Whore,” controversial pastor John Hagee said on NPR in September 2006 that Hurricane Katrina was the result of God condemning New Orleans because “there was to be a homosexual parade there” the day the hurricane hit — a belief he recently reaffirmed. Despite Hagee’s [...]

Over the weekend, the NYT's Frank Rich raised a few eyebrows when he highlighted the disconnect in the media between Obama’s relationship with his controversial former pastor (Jeremiah Wright) and McCain's relationship with a crazed televangelist (John Hagee). Rich’s point was both provocative and persuasive — that the media obsesses over Wright and gives [...]

I'm just a poor, confused American voter still trying to figure out this whole Pastor Hagee controversy. Here's what I've figured out from the tiny morsels of information I've gleaned from the world wide webnet:
Right-wing pastor John Hagee says
vile, despicable things
about patriotic Americans...the worst being that Catholics...

John Hagee Creatively Interprets the U.S. Great Seal Making John Bolton look like Woodrow Wilson: Katrina is God's Punishment for New Orleans’ sins : TG: I just want to ask you one question, based on one of your sermons, and this is not about Israel — you said after Hurricane Katrina, that it was an act of God, and you said when you violate God's will long enough, the judgment of God comes to you....

Joel Mowbray first took a look at the recent controversy regarding Pastor John Hagee in a Washington Times column addressing Frank Rich's attack on Hagee. Attacks on Hagee have continued, leading Senator McCain to repudiate Hagee's endorsement. In the attacks, Hagee is postulated as the right-wing analogue of Jeremiah Wright: What Wright is to Obama, Hagee is to McCain. Mowbray now returns to provide...

You know, I have heard a lot of excuses during my lifetime, but I have to say that this from Tim Russert may be the weakest crap I have ever heard. Via CJR :...Translation: Of course I, Tim Russert, helped to nudge the Wright story into the mainstream with one of my signature timely, hard-driving debate questions but, in fairness, what really “broke it out” was “that video that got on the reel and...

How the Republicans, who have nothing but eight years of incompetence, war, fear-mongering, and any other number of reasons to prove that they shouldn't be entrusted with the key to the men's room at a party store off I-75, plan to win the election . Sometimes, as Senator Barack Obama seemed to argue earlier this year, a flag pin is just a flag pin. Senator Barack Obama, campaigning last week in Charlotte,...

I am not going to mince words. I don't care for John Hagee , the senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas. I realize this may offend some of RedState's evangelical readers, but that's certainly not my intent; and I hope they will, at the very least, understand why a faithful Catholic might take offense at someone referring to his beloved Church as "the Great Whore," an "apostate church,"...

While it remains to be seen if Barack Obama can transcend the reputation of his controversial pastor Jeremiah Wright (as of 10:00 this morning, every major half a daily in the country was leading with Obama's speech responding to the controversy), it's interesting that John McCain is getting a pass from the major papers on his close association with anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic pastor John Hagee. Hagee,...

It always, always happens. Anytime someone on the left is called to the carpet on a controversial comment, action, or association by the right, inevitably the left will, in turn, play the moral relativist card by claiming “but so and so on the right” has said/done the same thing. Saying “they all do [...]

I am not going to waste time with Rev Wright; that video has been shown something like 400,000 times since it was first spawned on YouTube — and I'm just talking about Fox and CNN. You could probably close your eyes and draw the crazy preacherman in his scary witch doctor robes. The cable news networks have made his image ubiquitous while ignoring stories of real merit. You know, like how spending...
