Enough about Obamas preacher, what about Mccains...
All this fuss about Obama's preacher, what about McCains?
I believe he received endorsement, from John Hagee, who McCain is glad to have received endorsement from, who has said such statements as;
His blame of everything attributed to gods wrath he has also stated that the Jews deserve their punishments as they are being punished by God too;"Hurricane Katrina was an act of God, punishing New Orleans for "a level of sin that was offensive to God." He referred to a "homosexual parade" held on the date the hurricane struck and this was proof "of the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans. Another reason for God's wrath, Hagee claims, was the Bush administration's pressure on Israel to abandon settlements and the associated land. Therefore, God took American land in a "tit for tat" exchange."Not to mention his belief in the prophecy;Hagee attributed the persecution of Jews throughout history, implicitly including the Holocaust, to disobedience, thereby attracting accusations of antisemitism; "It was the disobedience and rebellion of the Jews, God's chosen people, to their covenantal responsibility to serve only the one true God, Jehovah, that gave rise to the opposition and persecution that they experienced beginning in Canaan and continuing to this very day... Their own rebellion had birthed the seed of antisemitism that would arise and bring destruction to them for centuries to come.... it rises from the judgment of God upon his rebellious chosen people"
He claims that all Muslims are potential invaders and terrorists as the Quran has instructed them therefore we must be wary of all muslims as they are;the United States must attack Iran to fulfill the biblical prophecy of Armageddon in Israel in which 144,000 Jews will be converted to Christianity and the rest killed
A priest?"There are 1.3 billion people who follow the Islamic faith, so if you're saying there's only 15 percent that want to come to America or invade Israel to crush it, you're only talking about 200 million people. That's far more than Hitler and Japan and Italy and all of the axis powers in World War II had under arms."
and what has McCain got to say?"in 2001 alone, John Hagee had received over 1.25 million dollars in total compensation for his position as CEO of a non-profit organisation"
McCain said that it was "probably a mistake" to court and accept Hagee's endorsement, although he's still glad to have his endorsement
Secondly someone whom McCain has described as his spiritual guide, Rod Parsley, has made the following statements;
He also believes the United States is gods own chosen country and their goal is too destroy islam.The secular media never likes it when I say this, so let me say it twice. Man your battle stations! Ready your weapons! They say this rhetoric is so inciting. I came to incite a riot. ... Man your battle stations. Ready your weapons. Lock and load--for the thirty, forty liberal pastors who filed against our ministry with the Internal Revenue Service. ... Let the struggle begin. Let it begin in your heart today with a shout unto him who has called us to war--not only that, he has empowered you and I to win.
If this man is McCains spiritual guide, does that mean also believes in destroying Islam? If not why won;t he renounce them?"do[es] not believe that our country can truly fulfill its divine purpose until we understand America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed.”
and Why isn't making so much of a fuss about these guys but are doing so with Obamas?
