Black candidate + wacko black preacher = long, loud attacks
White candidate + wacko white preacher = silence
Hmmm….
The All-White Elephant in the Room
Mr. McCain has been shocked to learn that his clerical ally has made many other outrageous statements. Mr. Hagee, it’s true, did not blame the American government for concocting AIDS. But he did say that God created Hurricane Katrina to punish New Orleans for its sins, particularly a scheduled “homosexual parade there on the Monday that Katrina came.”
Mr. Hagee didn’t make that claim in obscure circumstances, either. He broadcast it on one of America’s most widely heard radio programs, “Fresh Air” on NPR, back in September 2006. He reaffirmed it in a radio interview less than two weeks ago. Only after a reporter asked Mr. McCain about this Katrina homily on April 24 did the candidate brand it as “nonsense” and the preacher retract it.
Mr. McCain says he does not endorse any of Mr. Hagee’s calumnies, any more than Barack Obama endorses Mr. Wright’s. But those who try to give Mr. McCain a pass for his embrace of a problematic preacher have a thin case. It boils down to this: Mr. McCain was not a parishioner for 20 years at Mr. Hagee’s church.
#31–gawd==obviously you have never had a drama queen for a girlfriend. They act just like god.
“What I want is paramount in this relationship if you want what you want. And to get what you want, you have to prove you love me. And you prove you love me by “knowing” what I want. Guessing is an insult as is asking, because you should already know.”
Gee, the evidence is pretty clear. God is not a vengeful petty tyrant, SHE is a bitch on the rag.
Sounds like you’d make a fine Muslim.
The world’s largest single religious denomination, Islam, believes in none of this free will stuff. Everything has been predetermined by God. And, bonus, they have a whole Book of purpose at the ready for you.
In fact, most religions seem to have a book inspired by God telling them exactly what & how to do things for a higher purpose.
So I think you’re starting to catch on about preachers.

Of course, the Corporate Controlled Media doesn’t want to slam McCain too hard before the Main Election Campaign – they want the Advertising Revenue, and they want to try to control the “SPIN” and the Election itself !!! So they are trying to sand-bag Obama, to draw down his warchest and to poison the well of public opinion against him, while keeping the Republican “Contender” alive for the “Main Event” !!! I think it is apparent to anyone with a brain that the Repukes and Conservatives will be swept from Public Offices across the Country in the upcoming Elections for the simple reason that NO ONE, EXCEPT THE MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES, IS BETTER OFF NOW THAN BEFORE BUSH AND THE REPUKES DROVE THE US INTO THE GUTTER – THE WAR, FOREIGN POLICY, THE ECONOMY, AMERICAN’S CIVIL RIGHTS – ***ALL MISERABLE FAILURES*** !!! Of course my qualification “Anyone with a brain” might leave out Repukes and Conservatives, but you can’t please everyone !!!
#34,
Of course my qualification “Anyone with a brain” …
Of course, who could argue with that? Well, no one with a brain would.
