AMERICAblog: McCain finally severs ties with Rev. Hagee -- only after "Hilter was a hunter" spiel revealed

  • CitizenX · 1 year ago
    For the better part of 18 years I attended fundie churches with my ex-wife and hagees comments are not too out of line with their beliefs. I had many a moment of disbelief when I was told that Catholics were condemned to hell, that the Pope was right up their with the devil and that Mother Teresa would burn in hell, no matter what good works she did.

    If you are a robertson, hagee, swaggart fundie then this talk is not that abnormal. hagee was preaching to the choir.

    I agree CitizenX....have listened to a few too many fundies myself.

    Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't actively seek the endorsement (for over a year) of someone who I "knew so little about".
    I wouldn't leave my wife for a "trollop-c**t" (McCain's words, not mine) especially when my wife was recovering in the hospital from a horrible car accident.
    I would not spend eight years kissing the ass of a "man" (Bush) after that man attacked my wife and (adopted) child.
    I would not have stood by impotently while they were attacked.

    Those are just a few of the ways that I differ from John McCain.

    earlier Schuster on MSNBC said that after McCain rejected Hagee's endorsement...Hagee withdrew his endorsement.

    I think we have a "fundamental" problem in this country. First we had the fundie mormans and their pedofile church in Texas. Here in Wisconsin we had a family that put an old lady who died proped up on a toilet "praying" for her to come back to life, then we had a family that prayed while their daughter died of diabetes, and then we had a mother who killed her child, who heard "voices", and they found here reading a Bible. Yes a "fundamental" problem in this country.

    How can McCain humiliate his mentor like that?

    CNN saying McCain ground rules for medical records....only a few reporters will be allowed in....into a private room ....no copies will be allowed to be made....and they will have only a few hours to look at hundreds of pages of documents......and anyone who leaves to go to the bathroom will not be allowed back in....

    Reporters gonna have to wear diapers to look at McCain's medical records??...sheeshh...can't go to the bathroom?!?!!

    Odd...

    We really, in 2008, have only 2 direct connections to the Nazi movement... The pope who was a Nazi and the preznit's grampa who helped build the Nazis (with the ultimate goal of overthrowing the FDR administration).

    Seems silly that Bush would keep remiding us of this. Isn't this grounds for locking his chimp-ass up in gitmo... maybe giving him a hearing in 4 or 5 years...?

    I guess Hillary is twisting some arms, and they are indulging in her fantasy to win this nomination. The audacity of the Clintons! Harold Ickes, MCaullif, and the Clintons were fully aware of the rules before the primaries, in fact they agreed to it, and now they are playing "change the rules" yet again.
    HILLARY CLINTON THINKS THAT WHEN SHE SAYS THINGS LIKE, SHE GOT THE MOST POPULAR VOTES, THAT EVERYTHING MAGICALLY WILL CHANGE, AND SO WILL THE RULES.

    The last I heard, the candidate with the most delegates wins the nomination.
    The high and mighty Clintons are above these rules, see?

    If Ms. Clinton was leading in the delegate count, most states won, and the qualified front runner, would she step aside and allow the candidate who is behind her, get the nomination? Can anyone who supports Clinton, be able to answer this?

    Hillary is living in a twilight zone, and her recent behavior, is simply unbelievable. I think the Clinton camp are bunch of loonies.

    If I were a better man, I wouldn't say:

    Sounds appropriate, since McCain wears diapers too.

    Obama should just throw all his money at the remaining states.

    Just drown them in commercials, street money, organizers, whatever.

    Totally run up the score to get her to shut up.

    I almost forgot that Rove and the gang pulled that crap about McIdiot and the brown daughter.
    everyone else remember that Rove and his evil minions started a whisper campaign about McStupid fathering a black child out of wedlock?
    I seem to recall a similar story about Bill Clinton back in '96. anyway, probably the one decent thing Cindy ever did was adopt this poor little girl from Bangladesh (or somewhere over there). Of course now she will grow up to be a republican........

    McCain has been courting Hagee's for some time and now he has to relinquish his prize. I feel sort of bad for McCain, maybe it's inverted Schadenfreude . I doubt that McCain will even get a set of Hitler Youth Steak knives, as a consolation prize.

    The "news" media is covering this in their blogger sections, not as real news. Typical of how they're completely in the tank for McBush. He'll be praised for the move, while Obama continues to have Rev. Wright thrown at him at every opportunity. Why? Because Wright is a SCARY BLACK MAN, just like Obama the MUSLIM. What a fuckin' joke.
  • KanyeEast · 1 year ago
    Wouldn't it be lovely if one of the stenographers that gets to ride along on the "Straight Talk Express" asked the following question of their good friend John McCain:

    You renounced the endorsement of Pastor Hagee only after the Hitler comments gained attention, does that mean you agreed with or at least did not find Hagee's previous statements offensive, wrong, or worth renouncing?
  • Jump to the Left · 1 year ago
    McCain, confused about when and where to draw the line. What a mess he is.

    Yesterday? I heard about this WEEKS ago on youtube
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    Interesting! I've been bangin' on Republicans who keep defaulting to the statement, "But, McCain didn't attend Hagee's church for 20 years." Hagee is controrversial...always has been. And, it took all of this time for McCain to finally come out and sever the ties....verbally. Hey, but that's the double standard in America.
  • Sage24 · 1 year ago
    Blackwolf, you are right. I have heard that blonde woman on The View, the one who spouts right wing talking points, say that over and over again.
    She sounds so self righteous, when she keeps saying that Obama attended Wrights church for 20 years etc. Of course McCain, Must have known that Hagee is very controversial. It is not that he suddenly become one. If he did not know, it shows that McCain is very incompetent, and not thorough.
  • FrequentPoster · 1 year ago
    Oh, and by the way, just so everyone knows, there is nothing new about this sudden revelation. It's just that, for some odd reason, a few people decided they'd pay attention to it this time.

    Just heard on the news that the FL democrats are suing in federal court to have their primary votes counted.
