He had pressure from the right too. Specifically Catholics. Hagee's a bigot and McCain had no business soliciting Hagee's endorsement.
Oh, no. We Catholics have been assured so many times that Hagee is a great guy and that McCain's pride in his endorsement (McCain stuck it up on his website and everything!) was nothing short of positively wonderful.
And the "Catholic Church is the Great Whore" stuff that Hagee spouts? Complete misunderstanding. Hagee actually called the RCC "The Great Snore" because the bingo games down at the local parish are so doggone boring.
