Need another reason to support whomever the Democratic nominee is? #1

"All hurricanes are acts of God, because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they are -- were recipients of the judgment of God for that. The newspaper carried the story in our local area that was not carried nationally that there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came. And the promise of that parade was that it was going to reach a level of sexuality never demonstrated before in any of the other Gay Pride parades. So I believe that the judgment of God is a very real thing. I know that there are people who demur from that, but I believe that the Bible teaches that when you violate the law of God, that God brings punishment sometimes before the day of judgment. And I believe that the Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans."

--Pastor John Hagee

"All I can tell you is I'm very proud to have pastor Hagee's support."

--John McCain

I didn't really need another reason, but I'll take it anyway.

Wow.

And the next President will likely have to replace THREE Supreme Court Justices.

John Hagee is one terrifying man. So much hate it's disgusting.

I used to find his show fascinating. He writes his sermons as applause points.

And he REALLY doesn't like Harry Potter (or Harr-ah Pott-uh, as he says).

People said this about GWB in 2000. As far as I can tell, the US didn't become a theocracy.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

"And the next President will likely have to replace THREE Supreme Court Justices."

I think McCain would probably pick good candidates for the Supreme Court.

I think McCain would pick the same kind of justices that George Bush did--disastrous jurists for personal liberties and the Constitution.

Well of course it didn't. I blame Hilary.

John McCain's right wing whacko of the day!#12

Posted: 3/7/08 at 1:41pm

Maybe we can add a "McCain embraces a freaky spooky right-wing pastor" of the day feature on here?

Now McCain is claiming Rod Parsley as his "Spiritual advisor." Parsley has a lot of odd ideas, in addition to the usual anti-gay stuff. He's dead set in favor of Hate Criems (read that again if you have to) and pooh-poohs that whole "Pacifist Jesus" hooey. He's not afraid of a fight and is armed and ready to take on all comers- including a group of fellow pastors who testified against him in an IRS hearing that challenged his tes-exempt status:

"The secular media never likes it when I say this, so let me say it twice. Man your battle stations! Ready your weapons! They say this rhetoric is so inciting. I came to incite a riot. ... Man your battle stations. Ready your weapons. Lock and load--for the thirty, forty liberal pastors who filed against our ministry with the Internal Revenue Service. ... Let the struggle begin. Let it begin in your heart today with a shout unto him who has called us to war--not only that, he has empowered you and I to win."
