Refering to Hillary as a "monster" in terms of being effective at throwing up anything will stick was not really worthy of an apology. Its an awkward turn of phrase at worst. In the context of the aide's actual comments it was actually a left-handed compliment. Fervent McCain supporter Rev. Hagee calling the Catholic church itself a "whore" clearly falls in another category.

Pastor Hagee, leader of San Antonio’s Cornerstone Church, has often made references to “the apostate church” and the “great whore,” terms that Catholics say are slurs aimed at the Roman Catholic Church.

The same category as the Pastor Otis Moss? You know the guy that recently called Noah and Moses "thugs", Abraham a "pimp" and Jacob a "hustler".

Well Hagee calling the Catholic church a "great whore" is probably in the same category as McCain calling televagelist Rod Parsley "one of the truly great leaders in America, a moral compass and spiritual guide".

Who is Rod Parsley? Behold.

I'm sure the "Hip-Hop" Pastors vids will be surfacing as soon as he's given enough time to settle in and get a few more under his belt, there's probably already a leash on this guy. I guess since I didn't spell it out for you I should try to explain that I was trying to show that this crap will go on for/against both sides by 527's/the DNC/The RNC to connect any dots they can capitalize on and will be taken seriously by a decent number of voters . I would also expect both candidates to pretty much dismiss most of this garbage, this is the one bright side I see to a Mcain/Obama contest and there might actually be some substatial debate on issues for once. BTW, Parsley also is somewhat on par with some of the Rev Wrights remarks (albeit in different terminology) but I guess that's a different story. And there's also some rumblings that the Rev Wright isn't too happy with Obama and the possibilities of a little "getting even" might be on the horizon.

Can I say whatever?

Hagee and Parsley are hater's. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. Nothing an I mean NOTHING in anything related to Wright (as kooky as he is) even compares to the vicioulsy anti-gay spew that folks like Hagee and Parsley generate. And when you look at where Hagee would take US foreign policy - "Let's set off WWIII with Iran intentionally so we can urge the coming of the biblical Apocalypse" its icing on the cake.

Really if you want to to make it a "crazy preacher smackdown" to paraphrase President George Bush "Bring It On" because there are many, many more things in the Republican closet on that front to rightly scare your average swing voter silly.

Again for more on Magee, see this thread.

The Rev. (and Illinois state Senator) James Meeks.

He's from Chicago and was elected as an Obama delegate. John Street (I think) was elected as a delegate for Clinton (he ran at least). Meeks and Obama both served as State Senators from Illinois together. I'm sure they agreed on many issues in the IL State Senate. I know they disagree on others, including dramatically gay issues. Meeks has also said some inflamatory things about the racial divide in Chicago politics, comparing the Daley's dynasty s mayor to "slave masters".

I'm not really seeing Meek's support of his former colleague in the State Senate in the same category as McCain deliberately seeking out the support of Hagee way back in Jan. of 2007.

Again this Hagee:
Quote:
At July 19th, 2006 Washington DC inaugural event for CUFI, after recorded greeting from George W. Bush, with four US Senators and the Israeli ambassador to the US in attendance, Pastor John Hagee stated : "the United States must join Israel in a pre-emptive military strike against Iran to fulfill God's plan for both Israel and the West... a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation with Iran, which will lead to the Rapture, Tribulation, and Second Coming of Christ."

I don't talk about conspiracies.
Just truth. I just have the guts to call it racism when I see it.
And my eyes are wide open. Are yours?

PS-you never answered the question why there is currently not one single republican legislator (House or Senate) who is black.
