On Bill Bennett's radio show this morning, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said he repudiates “any comments” by hard-line conservative Pastor John Hagee “that are anti-semetic or anti-Catholic, racist, any other.” “I repudiate the words that create that impression,” said McCain. But unlike his previous, half-hearted attempts to distance himself from Hagee, McCain also spoke up in [...]

John McCain's embrace of the anti-Catholic, anti-gay bigot is not going to go away. He is a white Farrakhan, but the media has essentially given McCain a pass.

There's been a lot of chatter over the last few days about John McCain's embrace of Pastor John Hagee, who's well-known for a history of anti-Catholicism and claims that God will send terrorists to create a "bloodbath" in America for...

Talk To Action: One of John McCain's senior advisors has publicly declared that the religious right is a “serious problem.” While I would certainly agree, this statement comes at a time when his candidate has embraced some key leaders — and is further courting this faction of the party, which mostly did not [...]

"All I can tell you is I'm very proud to have pastor Hagee's support," said John McCain, about his recent endorsement by Pastor John Hagee, whose statements about Catholics and the U.S. support of a two-state Israeli/Palestinian solution, not to mention gays, have been widely condemned. I mentioned this briefly last week, but Hagee's statements are now detailed in a video clip put together by the...

The Florist is back to make a brief rebuttal to Christine Flowers' brief rebuttal to people she refers to as " bloggers ": You'd think that three strikes and you're out, right? But the critics keep taking their shots. Bloggers who are upset at the calls for Barack Obama to denounce Louis Farrakhan make McCain out to be a hypocrite for accepting the endorsement of an anti-Catholic loon...

Folks wanna get down and dirty, I see. Drag Obama and Wright and Trinity through the fire because of a standard that says a presidential candidate is responsible for the words of a pastor he's associated with. Well bring it on then. I proudly present Crazy Ass John Hagee, a man whose endorsement John McCain sought, requested, asked for, desired, held in esteem. I know I know, McCain has since said...

Which of these guys should I find more offensive? I’ve had people ask me that. To a certain extent it's not a fair comparison, since the relationships are not equal. And I think Roman Catholics are just plain used to them and their Church being talked about this way. The Bible tells us that even the [...]

Today Frank Rich covers the mind bending Reverend John Hagee and his ongoing endorsement of John McCain . The fact that this man can even find followers is a testament to the level of desperation out there in the search for meaning in the wasteland of American life.

I'm just asking... John McCain will be in Lakewood tomorrow for a $1000/person fundraiser. He's coming back on Friday to talk about the environment in Sandy Hook. Now that we have his attention, this is a good time to ask some important questions. Since a plurality of New Jersey residents (about 40%) consider themselves Catholic, they are probably all on the edge of their seats wondering whether or...
