McCain rebukes controversial pastor
Boston Globe ^ | May 22 2008 | Foon Rhee

Posted on 05/22/2008 3:40:40 PM PDT by shineon

John McCain just repudiated the endorsement of the Rev. John Hagee, after reports of more controversial remarks..

The Huffington Post and others are reporting that during a late 1990s sermon, Hagee said that “the Nazis had operated on God's behalf to chase the Jews from Europe and shepherd them to Palestine.”

McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, distanced himself from Hagee over anti-Catholic remarks that Hagee apologized for earlier this month.

I wonder if Pastor Hagee would have been repudiated for saying that the Nebuchadnezzar operated on God's behalf to chase the Jews from Israel and shepherd them to Babylon.

You don’t even know that Hagee said what he’s accused of. It is highly doubtful.

I don’t subscribe to all of Hagee’s theology. I don’t think today we can be considered to work on God’s behalf unless we are are following the commandments of Jesus Christ.

Namely - Love God, Love you neighbor and take up your cross.

I also think it’s interesting here that he is quoted as calling Israel - Palestine.

I heard Hagee on npr’s “fresh air” last week. Terry’s Gross was trying to pin him down as being the other wing on Wrights theological plane.

I thought he defended himself and Christianity in general quite well.

Considering Hagee is now extremely pro-Israel, there is something suspicious about the quote.

Huffington and others of that ilk draw all their "quotes" from a website run by an anti-Christian, anti-Semitic homosexual activist.

I've pointed this out many times and provided URLs to it for those interested in verifying what that site does to Hagee's sermons and his books.

McCain has a pretty weak staff if he's supposed to buy into all the cr*p flowing from Huffington and the gay blades who serve as her primary sources.

Or, maybe he's gay. Anyone know what McCain has said about Senator Craig's trip to the toilet in Minneapolis yet? Did he support that sort of thing, or oppose it, or just turn a blind eye to it?

The Brits, and the UN, called the area Palestine up until Israel was founded in 1948.

Is there a problem here?

I repudiate McCain for being a sawed off, hammered down, self righteous, sanctimonious, megalomaniacal, dishonest, dishonorable running dog, who is not fit to hold any public office except, perhaps in Mexico.

I would support Pastor Hagee and second McCain. Hagee is a fire and brimstone preacher and I think this is a over reaction form the Left.

Call Israel and the Jews whatever you want. They had mainly been something between vilification and laughing stock until 1948.

Now they must be called a Nation.

Just don’t call them late for dinner.

It's not at all any sort of "reaction" ~ it's an out and out fabrication.

Again, what has McCain said about the Senator Craig event in the Minneapolis toilet? Does he favor that sort of thing, and if so, is that why he buys into the Huffington stories all the time?

If McCain becomes president it will be God's will....and not because McCains the best

but because God will use him to finish his plan.....how will he answer to that.

I would expect nothing less of the liberal media then to print this.

Up until 1948 the Jews didn't have a state.

Is that at issue?

I merely pointed to the fact that calling that section of the Levant "Palestine" or even Philistia as one Freeper suggested, would not be inappropriate when it was under the British Mandate established by the League of Nations, and then picked up by the United Nations after WWII.

It's not "Israel", the state, until it was, in fact, "Israel". So, God calling the Jews to Palestine to form Israel once again certainly can't be described as "antisemitic" (except by the homosexual crowd over at Huffington and their running dog lackeys).

Agreed?
