Hagee's anti-Catholic beliefs?

Answer: no.

Sorry, we're too busy tearing down our own candidates.  No time to talk about McCain.

You gotta be kidding?  Endorsements like that are political plums for republicans...gotta pacify the religious right.

Kind of reminds me of McClurkin.

about McCain, be it fair or not (I personally think it isn't fair), is just because people are more used to Republicans doing it. I mean, seriously, Sen. Lott, the Republican Leader in the Senate, openly endorsed Segregation as recently as 2002. I think people just get more upset when one of our own does what we perceive to be like this. We have seen conservatives be racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. so much, we just are desensitized to it, and when they are accused of such, we just add it up to the other billion times its happened.

Can we get a clue about the difference between Hagee and Farrakhan?

Here are some Farrakhan samplers:

So I said to the members of the press, 'Why won't you go and look into what we are saying about the threats on Reverend Jackson's life?' Here the Jews don't like Farrakhan and so they call me 'Hitler'. Well that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man. He wasn't great for me as a Black man but he was a great German and he rose Germany up from the ashes of her defeat by the united force of all of Europe and America after the First World War. Yet Hitler took Germany from the ashes and rose her up and made her the greatest fighting machine of the twentieth century, brothers and sisters, and even though Europe and America had deciphered the code that Hitler was using to speak to his chiefs of staff, they still had trouble defeating Hitler even after knowing his plans in advance. Now I'm not proud of Hitler's evil toward Jewish people, but that's a matter of record. He rose Germany up from nothing. Well, in a sense you could say there is a similarity in that we are rising our people up from nothing, but don't compare me with your wicked killers.

These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood. It's the wicked Jews, the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality, [and] Zionists have manipulated Bush and the American government [on the war in Iraq]

Also, from Wikipedia:

Farrakhan has referred to Jews, Palestinian Arabs, Koreans, and Vietnamese collectively as "bloodsuckers" and maintains that "Murder and lying comes easy for white people."

Granted that Hagee is a pernicious person in his own right, before we talk as though Farrakhan and Hagee are "just the same", could we produce a few equally morally obscene quotes from Hagee?

Incredible - even a pretty damning post about John McCain becomes fodder for more Hillary whining. Have you (or Jane) considered that our primary isn't quite over yet, which would explain why people aren't monitoring McCain's every move and word?

i would hope that we hold hillary to a higher standard than mccain.

Let's not forget McCain cozying up with extremist Rod Parsley. It's probably more worrying than Hagee; not just because Parsley's all about merging the military and religious rhetoric, but because he's the brainchild behind the Patriot Pastors campaign that helped Bush win in 2004.

Never having to say you're sorry.  

Who knows?  McCain might say something about this.  But, he's just not the kind of guy that stuff like this is going to stick to. McCain's public persona is too low key, modest, and respectful.

what can we do to get this in the media??

should we write letters to the editor?  how can we get MSM to give this coverage?

Its so nice to see a glimmer of the MYDD I once knew and loved... I don't know if it will ever be the same (I don't think it ever will be for me,) but all the same it is nice to know that the bloodletting is almost over and we are going to try and go back to focusing on our common enemies.

A lot of Democrats all across this country watch John Hagee each week and are inspired and renewed by his teachings. Just thought y'all should know.

I have noticed that the passion that fueled the virulent hatred against Hillary Clinton in comments across the blogosphere just does not transfer to John McCain.

That's because so many bloggers spend more time trying to define the Democratic Party than anything else. When 95% of the writers in a thread are Dems, that's what you debate and argue over. That shouldn't be a surprise.

Clinton supporters have been after Obama's blood for having an unambitious health care plan. Obama supporters have been after Clinton for supporting the Iraq war.

A lot of Clinton's most vocal supporters think it's high time a woman be nominated for President. Some of Obama's strongest support blocs want to nominate an African American for President.

Obama supporters want to see a campaigns run primarily by promoting progressive values, and Clinton supporters want to see campaigns run by presenting progressive policies.

Not all of this is true of every candidate supporter, but we all want to shape the Democratic party so it reflects our beliefs and identities. Is that really surprising?

The insinuation Jane was trying to make is beneath her, and it should be beneath you. I haven't seen any major blogs -- even those most thoroughly tilted towards Obama -- use your comments section to suggest that Clinton voters are deficient for their promises to support McCain in the general. That's because just about everybody (else) realizes that we'll all have to work together in the summer and fall.

I'm calling bullshit on this one.  I will stack my progressive cred up against virtually anyone in the blogosphere.  I was upset by some of the tactics engaged in by the Clinton campaign (not necessarily HRC herself).  I am much more outraged by McCain and the Hagee association.

So, count me as one of those offended by the Clinton campaign's use of race-based tactics, but even more offended (and more outspoken) by McCain.

Does Obama's pastor advocate a pre-emptive nuclear attack on Iran?  McCain's does.

in the last eight years; he now welcomes the support of a certified agent of intolerance.

We always frame these things as, "We had to do it, so should they!"

That makes us look weak and whiny.  Screw explaining why we think he should answer -- just demand that he answer.

That's one of the reasons why our side gets hit and theirs doesn't.  They don't appeal to reason or make long impassioned arguments for why answering the question is a good idea: they just say, "Answer the question."

The media can get it's head around the latter, but these long-winded appeals to reason are beyond them.
