Perfect. Instead of getting up on his soapbox and making a speech, he nipped it in the bud. Obama should be taking notes.

I guess this is McCain’s Sister Souljah moment. But a mediocre conservative like McCain doesn’t need one.

He had pressure from the right too. Specifically Catholics. Hagee's a bigot and McCain had no business soliciting Hagee's endorsement.

Daily “conservative-thrown-under-the-wheels-of-the-Straight Talk Express” bookmark.

I guess the “Lion of the Senate” wasn’t too sick to get out the marching orders to John Judas.

Idiot.

Big fighter against the right.

Not so big against the left.

Pastor Hagee is a great man and the best friend Israel ever had.

They need to stop trying to say that anyone who supports, or endorses, the campaign somehow means there is a reverse-endorsement of that persons views or record, in whole.

Unfortunately, to do that and not appear totally hypocritical, they'd have to back off on Wright, Ayers, etc. Then what would Hannity talk about?

It really doesn’t matter, ABC is pushing a new story about another pastor that has endorsed McCain, Ron Parsley, that actually had the nerve to condemn Islam as a religion of hatred.

The radio version of the ‘news’ story actually referred to him as a HATE MONGER!

Funny that Hagee’s endorsement made the mainstream media as a major story, but Hamas’ endorsement of Obama was just a blip on the MSM radar screen. You know nutty pastor vs. organized terrorist organization—objective journalism at its best!

He may be a friend of Israel, but what about Jews? Where does he think they end up in the after life?
