McCain gags on Hagee’s Hitler theory

13 comments May 22nd, 2008

John McCain has finally REJECTED the endorsement he so avidly sought from the Rev. John Hagee, but only after learning of the preacher’s theory that Adolf Hitler was God’s chosen instrument in forcing the Jews to move back to Israel.

POSTSCRIPT: Hey, it just occurred to me.  Hagee’s endorsement is now available.  Maybe Hillary Clinton could…Nah! Even she wouldn’t go that far. Would she?

POSTSCRIPT II: Today’s news about Hagee triggered a memory of something I posted last summer on my previous (now-defunct) blog. It was a video by Max Blumenthal of a conference of Hagee’s Christians United for Israel.  I had completely forgotten that Joe Lieberman appears in the video as the featured speaker at Hagee’s big doings. Here it is:

I thought the GOP was supposed to be part of the managerial class

All my life I’ve heard it said that Republicans are the people who know how to organize and run things, the manager types, competent folks who know about dollars and cents and goal-oriented strategies — you know, the respectable grown-ups.

Democrats, on the other hand, are the dreamers, the class-warmongers, the welfare-statists, the hopelessly idealistic social engineers, the incompetents who couldn’t effectively and economically organize a two-car funeral — you know, the dirty hippies.

So, what can we make of reports like THIS suggesting that Democrat Barack Obama’s campaign organization is a model of smoothness and efficiency while Republican John McCain’s operation is relatively pathetic by almost every measure?

Every picture tells a story
