John McCain's Pastor: Rev. John Hagee

From Frank Rich's Op-Ed piece in the NYTimes.


—What you’ll find is a white televangelist, the Rev. John Hagee, lecturing in front of an enormous diorama. Wielding a pointer, he pokes at the image of a woman with Pamela Anderson-sized breasts, her hand raising a golden chalice. The woman is “the Great Whore,” Mr. Hagee explains, and she is drinking “the blood of the Jewish people.” That’s because the Great Whore represents “the Roman Church,” which, in his view, has thirsted for Jewish blood throughout history, from the Crusades to the Holocaust.

Mr. Hagee is not a fringe kook but the pastor of a Texas megachurch. On Feb. 27, he stood with John McCain and endorsed him over the religious conservatives’ favorite, Mike Huckabee, who was then still in the race.

    Hi there,

    Thank you for putting this out there! The black media needs to start doing a bit more to counter the negative tactics of the white media in discrediting Obama's candidacy. The black media seems to have taken a rather passive posture in this melee.

    Thanks for sharing this!

    Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!
    Lisa
