Hagee Endorsement for McCain Comes Under Fire
February 29, 2008 11:19 AM
Calling Pastor John Hagee a “bigot,” the conservative Catholic League is calling for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to denounce/renounce/reject his endorsement Wednesday.
With a Youtube link to prove his point, Catholic League president Bill Donohue said Hagee “has waged an unrelenting war against the Catholic Church. For example, he likes calling it ‘The Great Whore,’ an ‘apostate church,’ the ‘anti-Christ,’ and a ‘false cult system.’ …“Senator Obama has repudiated the endorsement of Louis Farrakhan, another bigot. McCain should follow suit and retract his embrace of Hagee.”
Today Donohue noted that former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee expressed disappointment that he hadn’t received Hagee’s backing.
“If Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama were fighting over the support of Louis Farrakhan, we’d say they’re nuts,” Donohue said. “So what are we to conclude about McCain’s embrace of Hagee, and Huckabee’s lament for not getting the bigot’s endorsement?”
What indeed?

The link leads to a YouTube video of this Hagee character using a pointer to show how the Roman Catholic Church is a whore. I plead ignorance and would have believed that if the RC church were a player; pimp would have been my guess. Of course, Hagee is spouting prima facia bigotry and that’s what those true believers love to hear. As for the term ‘whore,’ John McCain has been straddling that district for some time now.
