I'm voting for Obama because he'll buy me a pony when he becomes president.

Well McBush…what about Rod Parsley??? you called him one of the greatest world leader and spiritual guide…and you seeked and got his endorsement. He wants to Obliterate Islam. Are you going to denounce and repudiate him??? We are our own worst enemy.

This is clearly a dementia…
Age is not a problem if you can remember right

Hmm,
I bet if Rev. Wright would have made the exact same comments as Pastor Hagee, the media (especially Fox News) would be crucifying Obama for his link to such a "controversial" figure.

Point being, I don't think Pastor Hagee should be that big of a Political issue. Nor should Jeremiah Wright. Lets stick to the real issues affecting America please-like why gas will hit $5.00/gallon in some parts of the country before summer's end; or why we are still fighting a pointless war. (typo correction from my previous comment)

Come Mccain ,admitt it you're ,GAY not that theres anything wrong with it . Just fess up. we understand all those lonely nights in beautyful downtown Hanoi with all those young sweaty mens come on grandpa tell us a story !!!!!

I can see McCain's point that it's not quite the same situation as with Obama and Jerimiah Wright, since Obama had a much longer relationship with his pastor, but to me it still calls into question McCain's judgement. After all, McCain actively sought Hagee's endorsement. Why would he seek the endorsement of a person like this? At least some of Hagee's comments were well known at the time of endoresement.

Also, this didn't even get a fraction of the media play that Obama's pastor did. Maybe there is something to the rumors that the media loves and protects McCain??

The only reason why MC Cain took Hagee of the table is because then it leaves Wright on the table.
Because Hagee WAS NOT Mc Cain's pastor nor did Mc Can attend his church so he would have no idea what the guy says.
Obama has a church problem not a Rev Wright problem, Rev Moss is just as bad, it that church it's Black Liberation theology that Obama has a problem with, that will bite him in the a– in Nov.

Bigot.

This doesn't matter either….and to the HRC idiots who believe that Rev. Wright spoke angrily against racism and the issues that were PROVEN by YOUR VOTES in West Virginia and Kentucky (they proved Rev. Wright to be RIGHT)….If you believe that he spoke like that for 22 years, then please explain why Sean Hannity went through SIX YEARS of DVDs and was only able to come up with 6 minutes of loud footage by Rev. Wright from TWO sermons. If it was 22 years, then there should be much much more to show.

Try thinking on your own for a second. When you see clips from a new movie and the only show the same scenes over and again…everyone knows that is because those are the only good scenes in the movie.

Obama O-8!

I am trully getting sick and tired of this type of reporting. No matter what happens in this campaign you seem to always have a but… for Obama. I keep hearing "Why can't Obama close this out?" The proper question is "Why is Clinton behind?" With all of her name recognition, money and power one would think that the campaign would have been a walkover for her. Michigan and Florida allowed their politicos to lead them down the wrong road and now they want to blame everyone else. They knew what they were doing and what the consequences would be but they did it anyway. They only have themselves to blame. Forgive me if I don't feel sorry for them. Florida, is just a bad joke, with all the shenanigans that they have been involved in.

Regarding McCain and his pastors who he CHOSE to accept their endorsements. I guess you will run that today and maybe tomorrow but that will be it. How shallow has your reporting become. I was almost going to say that you sholud be ashamed of your reporting, but I forgot you have to have a standards to measure by, which you seem to be loosing rapidly.

Doesn't the U.S. Constitution give every citizen a right to vote? Like maybe MI and FL – 2 states out of Obama's 57 states.

dear hillary supporter – "if hillary doesn't beat mccain you'll vote for mccain?"
will you promise not to, if by some miracle it's obama vs. mccain?? and if not – say your good byes to roe v wade and all other women's and democratic issues– don't look now, but McC is betrothed to the evangelical base.

No, it does not compare to Obama's situation with Reverend Wright. The controversial statements made by wright were 1) done after Obama was already a member of the church, 2) When he was in Washington and unaware of them, 3) The comments were nowhere close to the level of hate by Hagee. I am a white person and the only thing i was offended by in wrights sermon was that Aids was a tool to kill Blacks in America. I believe that aids was a biological weapon developed by the US and was tested in Africa. The transferrance to the USA was unintended. The fact that our military and political leadership felt that Africans were no better than human lab rats with no value except to kill for our benefit is the true problem. Mr. McCain, You sought out the endorsement of this man after he had made these statements. So are you doing this for political reasons or are you just in incompetent leader? 5 seconds after i heard about you seeking Hagee's endorsement i was able to see enough by doing a google search to know that was a bad idea. Where were the great skills you supposedly have to lead this country at that time? All Aboard the Doubletalk Express!

I support Obama and feel the same way about this story as the Rev Wright story. I do not care about what other people say. I do not care about sound bites. I'm not going to bash McCain because it is wrong to do that. Two wrong does not made a right. I support Obama because of issues like the war,his tax plan, or his long term pan around gas prices and health care. I do not vote out of anger of just to call myslef a Dec or Rep. I do not vote for gender or race or age. I do research and then I vote.

So please let vote on issues and facts and stop acting like children. I do not care who you vote for. Just vote with facts

Its about freakin time someone brought this up! There are a lot of hypocrites in this nation. Because they haven't put out any video looping it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again until we think wow he's being offensive!

Oh, it's good to see that the Repukes can't take their own medicine.

But, nonetheless, morons will still see Rev Wright as an issue. It's sad.

NEXT: Mrs. McCain's tax records, please.

AND: We'll be paying more attention to those medical records now that you tried to bury them Memorial Day weekend and possible-VPs-visit weekend.

AND: What was so important in Cali that you couldn't show up to vote AGAINST the GI Bill?

And what about Rev. Parsley, Mr. McCain????

On one hand I am glad they are putting McCain under the microscope like they did Obama w/ the Wright thing; however, this really has nothing to do with his campaign just like Wright had nothing to do w/Obama's views. Everyone that we know and respect will not always share our views.

Hmm,
I bet if Rev. Wright would have mad the exact same comments as Pastor Hagee, the media (especially Fox News) would be crucifying Obama for his link to such a "controversial" figure.

Point being, I don't think Pastor Hagee should be that big of a Political issue. Nor should Jeremiah Wright. Lets stick to the real issues affecting America please-like why gas will hit $5.00/gallon in some parts of the country before summer's end; or why we are still fighting a pointless war.

He was Glad to have it a few weeks ago. After he had opportunity to vet him. He's worried about Jewish votes in Florida.

No big deal, Hagee is not a black preacher with dangerous clothes and funny music. There's nothing to be afraid of. Nothing in Obama's history or policy looks anything like Wright's radical thinking but just because Hagee didn't baptize McCains children there's nothing to worry about. Only funny thing is his foreign policy and McCain's sound and look the same. Case in point, Iran.

What is with the McBush? Wow, it amazes me how mindless some democrat supporters can be…tote the party line much? I am glad I changed from democrat to independent. I was so proud to be a democrat until they didn't do what they promised when they took over Congress. Both parties are disgusting!

McCain is no Bush, never will be and never has been. There must be a reason both the extreme left and right hate him…he doesn't tote a party line…hmmm. Just right for me. First time I will be voting republican will be in 2008.

Also, Obama can give up VA now, looks like late term abortion issue will bring out the conservatives to vote against Warner. I think McCain has VA in the bag.

McCain really is the master of the flip-flop. His on-again off-again relationship with this shady pastor, shows us that John McCain is no longer the maverick he was in 2000. Now he is just a man who sold out his beliefs for a chance to become president. He blew it.

you only hear about this guy for a min or 2,
but, rev.wright was on 24/7………!!!??

shame

what goes around comes around

laughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhg

democrat 2008

Obama is pandering, why is he now wearing a flag pin. Now that it looks af if Florida and Michigan won't matter he is suddenly ready to seat them. What a jerk.

It's really funny how he brings Wright up when his PASTOR comes under fire.

Believe this if you will, but McCain is not through with Hagee just yet. In another month or so, Johnny Mac is going to reverse himself again when he learns the only votes he's going to get will come because of the Rev's tainted support.

The greatest gift from my God is free will. Through my faith in him to make all things right I learn to forgive. Allah, the Muslim god does not give the gift of free will. Muslim forgiveness seems to contain some type of human punishment like torture or death. I will not worship no other god than the one who sent is son to die on a cross for allof our sins.

For a nation which is supposedly based on religious freedom and equality, I am amazed that I constantly hear the Anti-Islamic sentiments expressed by Americans. Rev. Parsley's comments are outrageous just has Hagee's, yet McCain has only really rejected Hagee's endorsement. There are others that have made a big thing out of Barack's middle name believing that he is Muslim when he has repeatedly stated he's not. I wish that people would learn a little bit about Islam before they go shooting off their mouths about things that they don't know anything about! Also, just because one doesn't go around wearing a US flag pin or posting the US flag on their homes does not make a person is unpatriotic! I am tired of all hearing all the hate and bigotry that is going on in America.

I still don't understand most of you people. Just because i listen to someone does not mean i agree with them. Doesn't matter if it is the nutjob Wright or the whackjob Hagee. The world is not simply black and white, there is more to it than this ridiculous dichotomy that people seem to apply where you're either in 100% agreement or 100% disagreement with something.

Good grief, grow up people.

There is no way either of the candidates can be responsible for everything all of their supporters happen to believe/say.

Hagee and Parsley are not/never have been McCain's pastors. McCain, when he is in AZ, attends a Baptist church where he lives.

I am always amazed at the Black's stating that someone "dis'd" them. Geez, will they ever learn to speak English?

Watchdog, you said it!

I may not be religious, but I happen to know a lot of Christians who aren't nearly as insane as this guy

In all seriousness though, I think your run of the mill non-christian knows that the vast majority of Christ believers are just as normal as anyone else with a level head… and totally separate from the HATE that spews forth from this guy's mouth.

On the far right you got Pastor John Hagee, for Mccain.

.On the far left you got Rev Wrieght for Obama.

.In the center is America's best hope, for Sen Clinton.

What a surprise, John didn't research something before making a decision. Sounds like his Iraq war vote or gas tax holiday idea, economic policy, oh, just pick a policy…they're all just tax cuts for corporations or panders to get votes so he can give tax cuts to corporations.

http://infogiant.wordpress.com/

McCain is as bad as Clinton. He changes positions with the temperature andthe wind! He'll do anything to get his agenda accros!

Hmmm if you can equate Obama to Wrights view then I guess you can use the same perverted logic to equate McCain to Hagee's views

Obama supporters think Obama can just wave a magic wand and things will change once he become president. Any president will make changes. I rather have Hillary in the office that has way more experiences. Obama is like Bush back in 2000. All talk and promises and guess where it got us to know. A war and in debt. Obama supporters wake up and stop drinking the koolaid!!

Who can forget Rev. Wright, now he was a character, Obama sat in that church 20 years. Where is Rev. Wright now?

Didn't he research this man and know how he felt about Catholicism and Jews BEFORE seeking out his endorsement? And what about Rev. Parsley? Will he reject him, too?

Rev. Wright spoke harshly about racism and those who oppress; I've never connected why that means he "hates", but I do realize that many prefer to believe that Blacks sit in church praying and loving those who oppress them. But, this man is openly hateful and McCain WENT AFTER him. And it looks like the same folks who were enraged by Rev. Wright don't really find much issue with that.

Oh well; on with the race, I mean, election.

For all the idiots on this website that are falling all over themselves to make this equivalent to Jeremiah Wright 4 things:

(1) This guy is not McCain's pastor, certainly not HIS SPIRITUAL ADVISOR and de facto UNCLE who performed McCain's wedding ceremony.

(2) McCain rejected him immediately, unlike Obama with Wright and Farrakan

(3) Hagee is taken out of context, we only have the word of biased reporters to know what he said, there's no MIND-BLOWING VIDEO OF A LOOPY MANIAC D@MN*NG AMERICA AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS TO THE CHEERS OF HIS WHACKED OUT CONGREGATION

(4) The more you try to do this the more we'll see that incredible video, the more your candidate will suffer. SO GO AHEAD DEMS, KNOCK YOURSELVES OUT, KEEP TRYING, PLEASE, I'D LOVE TO SEE MORE NEWS CYCLES WITH JEREMIAH WRIGHT AS FEATURED LUNATIC

God is everywhere and he knows that the only one left to change the
American mentallity is Obama,why you guys think that Clinton
wins in those small county???
because as republican there are some recist democrat too,the world needs an American president as OBAMA as soon as posible to save the world,with Mcain war will extend around the world.

I'm just waiting for the endless snippets of tape looped by the media and the righteous indignation of voters…Something tells me I'll be waiting a long time.

Hillary will take his endorsement since MCBush don't want it..

McCain's followers are cringing and running to blog as fast as they can that this is not the same as Wright. The difference is that he SOUGHT the endorsment of a anti Catholic, anti Semitic nut job and happily smiled and hugged him in front of everyone. The Republican fiaso that started in 2006 rolls on. Do as I say, not as I do.

Forget all the pastors—the Obama cult train is about to come to a screeching halt. Why? Hillary is going to run as an Independent.

Obamanians are toast.

McCain is in his"life cleansing" mode at the moment, getting rid of all the people that would come back to haunt him during his run against Obama. I wonder if his wife will make the cut??? She is appearing in VOGUE wearing jeans…..giving a "youthful" appearance to a very old candidate, one who has a violent temper and seems to forget things quite a bit. McCain is old Washington style of politics, we deserve a "fresh" start and new beginning.

Mccain has one problem out of the millions that plagues him most. Obama knows the mccain supporters that wont support him will never support him, but there are a good number of supporters that will that will =. but US OBAMA SUPPORTERS AS HAPPY ADN INSPIRED AS WE ARE WILL ABSOLUTLEY NEVER EVER EVER SUPPORT MCCAIN AND THAT GOES FOR EVERY OBAMA SUPPORTER MCCAIN CAN NEVER GET MY VOTE

LETS GO DEMOCRATS, NO MORE REPUBLICANS 08 AND FOREVER

didn't MC CAin publicly get an endorsement from Hagee a few months ago…..see Mc Cain says I don'thave a long standing relationship with Hagee……that is no excuse it makes it even shadier that he sought out the endorsement with no relationship…..everyone else knew what Hagee was about then……Obama di not make wright part of the campaign…..clinton and the right wing made Wright more than what he is on the Obama campaign…….being short this guy has no clue….considering experience…….I'm sure it wont be as big of a deal as Obama and Wright ….given that these two bufoons are no strangers to the media

It's about time McCain did something about this guy, but to be honest, I find his timing on the matter atrocious.

The ONLY reason this happened today or even this week is because of the increased media pressure. Convenient for sure. Straight Talk –not a chance.

We're still talking about people's pastors? Still trying to figure out how this affects my grocery bill doubling.

This sham is now different from you surrounding yourself with Lobbyist and now all of a sudden you are cleaning house because Obama has accused you of dancing with lobbyist.

Talk about pandering. Oh wait we forget you are the ultimate flip flopper.

straight talk horse and boggy

Iraq, oil,jobs,unemployment, education,foreclosures,foreign relations, economy, value of the dollar,national security, global warming, hurricane katrina victims!

Who is going to fix this Bush fiasco?! Who cares about what your preacher did or did not do and how long you sat in the pews listening to the sermon.

why is it that all of a sudden endorsements are more important than credentials?

McCain actually sought Hagees endorsement which means it is truly he who showed lack of judgement.

can we all agree that all these pastors are nuts and get back to the real issues at hand.

1.) how are we going to fix the iraq situation? I dont care who was right or wrong before. what do we do now? WHAT THE HEC DOES VICTORY MEAN? HOW DO YOU QUANTIFY IT?

2. how are we going to solve the energy crisis? Gas will top $5 dollars a gallon this year I promise you. What happens when it goes to $8 next year?

3. How can we improve education in america?
Education = ingenuity = jobs = better economy.

I think Obama supporters should just not comment. At least McCain didn't attend the pastor's church for 20 years and act like he didn't know what the man was about. PLEASE! Plus, there is a pattern with Obama and people he surrounds himself with, including his own wife, that make me question just how much they love being an american. Now McCain, I would never question his love for this country.

BUT…..Still have no clue who I am going to vote for. So far, all three are horrible choices in my eyes.

now sean hannity of foxnews can you please do an investigation on pastor Hagee and please tell the american people that mccain does not have the judgement to lead America. oh i forgot he is white and the media is goning to let it die but we will keep it alive if that what they want the election about

I want to see this subject regarding Mc Cain's pastors on TV 24/7 for the next 3-months! Come on Fox News!

Okay, lets talk issues, The current congress are so bad that they can't even get a correct copy of a bill moved to the whitehouse. What are obama and mccain going to do about that? Will obama work with the gop if he has a super majority in congress? Will he act on his mentors advice when he is president? Was he also not proud of america before he was nominated?

Obama supporters will say anything to defend Obama. Hagee is not even McCain pastor. Wright was Obama pastor that he recently threw under the bus. He was Obama mentor\crazy uncle\pastor\baptist his kids and borrow his quote for one of his book. Obama supporters has the nerve to compared Hagee to Wright? Anyone but an empty suit Obama!!

lol looks like mcbushs` " chickens are coming home 2 roost" lol but what a great way 2 bring rev wright (whom i think is insane but does raise some good points but his delivery sucks) back into the fold but he is old news and to be honest i could care less about which pastor endorses whom or blah blah blah, but what i do care about is 3 and 4 tours of duty in iraq or $4.25 (i'm in cali) a gallon for gas, or a womans right of choice i could go on but why you get the point!!!

Nice back handed compliment of Obama old man. "Let me be clear, I did not attend his church for 20 years"…. Your mind is starting to wander. Look at how Reagen ended up…..

He also has to renounce, denounce, repudiate, and throw him under the bus.

I actually wil watch Fox News and other networks tonight to see what is said about McCain and Hagee since majority of the cable networks were so vocal about the Obama and Reverend Wright issue. I will stay tuned!

Where do these 'holier than thou' idiots come from?

What good for the gander is good for the goose? It's about time that the media is catching up to McCain. The Maverick will be exposed and come November there will be a clear choice as to who should lead this country in the next 4 / 8 years.

Obama 08!!!

VP's – General James L. Jones or General Colin L. Powell

i meant Hagee not hagel in my last post.

CNN never wanted to report the story until McCAIN rejected it.

VERY convenient, you stood proud and confident with Hagel when you sort a way to get with the evangelicals by accepting his endorsement. What now you don't want the evangelical vote anymore. Oh wait the Jewish vote is now more important.
or is it for your current fund raiser.
Give us a break Mccain , even peanut brains know what you are doing.

There are just too many bigoted loudmouths who use political candidates to publicize warped beliefs. We need to stop giving these people attention, regarless of whether they come from the right or the left.

Quite frankly neither Rev. Wright nor Pastor Hagee is worth a fraction of the energy spent on them.

So will we now see WEEKS of analysis by the media moguls and a piling-on like we did with Reverend Wright?

Yeah, right.

So far, our plan has worked.More than 50% of the hillary supporters will never vote for Obama.

Mission accomplished !

Didn't John McCain seek this guy's endorsement?

When are adult going to learn how to speak? Everyone claims their word to be taken out of context. These Pastors, Reverends, Politicians and their spouces are highly educated and yet mange to put sentences together that they say are taken out of context.
It doesn't mater which party or religion, they all need to learn to think before they speak, just like we are all taught in school.

It is about time this hit prime news!!!!!

To 'mission not accomplished'. Stop with the New Math. the number is 2024.

As far as the primary goes there are indeed only 48 states. THEY broke the rules and are getting what they deserve. Deal with it.

Michigan and Florida will have their votes counted in the General election.
If you are one of those that threaten 'well I'll just take my vote and go home if I dont get my way'…………………well, I'll get the door for you and dont let the door hit you where the sun dont shine on the way out.

McCain rejected this nut quicker that Obama rejected his own spiritual advisor.

This guy was not McCains minister. Rev Wright is another story. He was Obamas pastor for 20 years. Anyone who preaches such hatred and anyone who listens to it for 20 years, but more importantly, anyone who takes their 2 kids to listen to such hatred does not deserve to be president

I challenge the CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other media outlets to bring this to the forefront like they did Obama and Wright. I guess my challenge would never work because the media has known about Hagee's comments all along but barely made mention of them, at least not nearly as much as Obama's former pastor. Let's see how long this story stays in the news. It probaly will not be in the news tommorrow. I will bet Hannity will be all over Pastor Wright and all of his crazy right wing stuff against Obama to shift the focus back on Obama and off of McCain and Hagee.

already ?

To Mission Not Accomplished

Looks like you and Clinton had F on math.
Clinton is a cheater.

So far, our plan has worked.More than 50% of the hillary supporters will never vote for Obama.

Mission accomplished ;Republican for Hillary !

Media …How about giving this Hagee story the same amount of publicity as Rev. Wright. Play it all and don't just play snippets. Dean is right McCain is an extremely

silence do good…

Think you got it backwards…Clinton is the one with the double-talk. Since when has be been blaming Clinton for anything. Kills me how Clinton's supporters that are anti-Obama like to put words in his mouth (not to mention make every story about him).

It will be interesting if there is a similar request for retraction from Pastor Parsley of Columbus,Ohio regarding his anti Islamic remarks recently noted on the news.

Hagee was not McCains mentor/ pastor for twenty years. Big Difference… Blacks are notorious for violence..The Obama-bots are threating to riot if Obama is not the nominee? Either way, there will be riots. Look at the Cowboy celebration that turned to looting. It is to be expected. Why does it always turn to breaking windows and looting? Please explain that to me?

So far, our plan has worked.More than 50% of the hillary supporters will never vote for Obama.

Mission accomplished !

McCain wanted Hagee's endorsement, went after it for the sole purpose of trying to gain favor with the Evangelicals. It was a shame relationship all along. He should have been honest and stuck to his own religious background. We don't need more liars and cons in the Whitehouse. He says Obama had a different relationship, and this is true. Obama's relationship was a true ministerial relationship and a true congregate, and therefore, a harder relationship to severe. I believe Obama when he says he knew the Reverened Wright could be controversial, but didn't realize the depth of his hystrionics. But it was an honest relationship and not one of convenience for politics. Yet Obama has been raked over the coals, while McCain is allowed to blow off this phoney relationship as if he weren't trying to pull a fast one on the American electoriate.

McCain should stop removing the speck in Obamas eye and remove the log in his eye.

Notice the lack of moral content in this theology. Everything is based on predictions, instead of what's morally correct. If Rev. Hagee thinks the Bible predicted Jews will return to Israel . . . then he's complimentary toward Adolf Hitler for providing Jews with necessary motivation. Only someone like Rev. Hagee can be complacent about continued internment of 1.3 million Palestinian in refugee camps for the past 40 years. He doesn't care, because he thinks it fits with prophesy.

Not all people of faith have this mentality. I'm a person of Christian faith, and I detest fundamentalist emphasis on prophesy and end times. I think it diverts attention from questions of right and wrong.

i denounce McCain for his stands against torture, Guantanamo and drilling in Anwar. Furthurmore for his naive stand on amnesty and for believing the leftist cult on global warming…this is an election that has come down to 3 liberals that are in the race for glory and not the American people.

Hm. McCain claims he won't employ lobbyists, but his campaign is lousy with 'em, and it takes MONTHS for him to notice (or admit it)?

He seeks the endorsement of this vicious fantasy-peddler for a year, accepts it warmly, and becomes aware of his views on Catholics and Jews MONTHS after doing so?

He's either lying, chronically misinformed, or chronically "senior."

John McCain needs to reject the other nut job, Parsley. The trio of Hagee, Parsley, and Wright, all nut jobs. What is even more shocking is that they have a cult like following of people who believe their drivel. C'mon McCain, reject the three idiots!

What would be really nice if certain folks on this blog actually read the content of the story instead of just bashing Senator McCain. Just can't see past your hatred, what a sad state of affairs.

And this from the folks supporting Senator Obama who will "unite" our country – what a world we live in

Real issues? The core beliefs and character of a candidate is not an issue? Repeating carefully written, polled and checked talking points is not going to get my vote. I have read obamas web site and find alot of his ideas to be unworkable in the real world. But I am sure the polling company he hired said they are popular with his core supporters.

I am independent and OBAMA'S supporter, but i don't know why folks make a big deal about john HAggae endorsement of Mccain. i don't care about Haggae or Rv write comments, what i care is who will be a good president for this country. common folks

SINCE WHEN DOES ANYONE LISTEN TOO THE CHURCH ANYWAY?? ITS ALL MUMBO JUMBO. HE REJECTED HAGEE LIKE OBAMA REJECTED WRIGHT. SO LET IT GO. ALL YOUR DOING IS PRESSING YOUR POLITICAL AGENDA ANYWAY. AND PLEASE LAY OFF PAT BUCHANAN.

Now I am sure not to vote for Senator McCain. I understand him rejecting this fool, but why did he have to make such a point in bring up Pastor Wright and Senator Obama.

Looks like the Straight Talk Express has lost its bearings.

So McCain was for Rev. Hagee before he was against him?

To him it was just an excuse to bring up Wright again. The whole thing is pathetic. I think this is one year that voters care more about issues than the smear jobs…and to me that means anyone but McCain.

Judgement is the question on hand not how many years you've known Hagee. You sought after a man's endorsement to whom's outrageous position you did not know? This is irresponsible no matter how u slice it. The same way people dont believe Obama didnt know that Rev Wright said certain things. Are we 2 believe u never knew Hagee's well known history that is well documented. Like u said to Obama, we dont belive u share these same values as Hagee but it shows a lack of judgement.

It was infuriating to me to hear Jeremiah Wright over and over on the news. It was like the media, despite Barack Obama's adamant rejection of Wright's political views and social commentary, chose to embellish the political link between the to of them. All the while, Pastor Hagee has been kept in the background. Well, it's about time the media decided to balance the coverage of these to two controversial figures. I wonder if it will be as in-depth or last as long…

McCain is lying! McCain is lying! I had no idea so many clairvoyant's are Obama supporters. It's surprising you can't see Obama losing the election in November.

I'm an independent voter in Colorado. I'm shocked after reading some of the vile and hate filled statements coming mainly from Obama supporters. I thought that he was the candidate that was suppose to unite, but his supports appear to be just the opposite.

Oh yeah! It's OK to be buds until everyone tells you what a complete idiot your endorser is. McCain should have told Hagee to take a hike earlier.

Bad scene for McCain.

Poor John. Does he know who he is anymore?

Anyone know who Hillary's spiritual adviser is? Let's dig up some dirt on them too and call it even. We don't want to be sexist on this issue!

So did Hagee reject McCain or did McCain reject Hagee?.

McCain needs the conservative base but he is no fool…
this stops the bleeding immediately…and their is no close
personal relationship between McCain and Hagee while
there certainly was between Obama and Wright.,.
quote from the NY Times this morning from a rabbi in
Florida paraphrasingn": the future of the US for the next
four years will be determined by a few old jews sitting
around the pool at century village"…Obama has a big
problem in the elderly jewish community and its
not going away because once they hear the knock
on him they will not easily change their minds..they will
as one old jewish lady said "vote for mr mccain"

My my my…chickens are coming home to roost with McCain. What comes around goes around. What a cheap shot mentioning Wright it doesn't compare whether you were in the church or not…you took the endorsement knowing what the man was about. At least Obama kept Wright away from his campaign. McCain your situation is worse! Stop shifting blame for your malarky. Straight Talk Express? More like a hot mess express.

Hi looks like he is dropping everyone around hom before even the serious business begins. Let him get rid of all the neo-cons or should I say brave as he is, just as patroitic, do us a "favour and give it up fo Barak"
The other day when it was said his straight talk bus was losing bearings then finally wheels (will) he caught fire.

I really think we should be talking abour the REAL issues. Not race ,sex, age, height , weight, religion etc.

Please stick to the issues, i.e., war, oil, healthcare, gov. financial health, childcare, jobs education etc.

STAY ON TASK!!!!

This is totally awsome!!

As a long-term admirer of McCain, someone who regarded him as a hero and a man who stood for what believed I am disenchanted by what he has become. A man who gave up everything that he held sacred to be" all things to all men". He says his situation is not like Obama's. I went to Liberty Universityand I had good things from the pulpit and some that made me cringe. Did Jerry say things I disagreed with… Yes. Did I ever leave his church and/or university. It was my family, the man was more than the things he said. He tackled us at football games, he lifted us when we were down and thus we stayed despite the circumstances. McCain… you sir, sought to speak at Liberty, you sir… sought Hagee's endorsement. You sir… chose to take the christian for a ride, get the votes and then run… but forgot we are not perfect, we are fallen, forgiven by grace and while we make mistakes we seek be better people. Yes… you have been caught trying to lie to get the votes, hang out with the Christians… now you know they come with baggage too. Man up… say what you wanted and were going to go any lenght to get. You have, now you don't know what to do with it.

Has anyone seen the documentary "Zeitgeist"? To all voters: please watch this before you vote. Some of us have known all along how the U.S. Government works, but this is a must see if you are still undecided on who should lead the country. The information is there, but it's up to you to to make the right decision.

escape the fear.

Every candidate has to have their own Rev Wright…..I don't think it reflects badly on McCain….nor Obama….if they acted on it – then it would…but just because you hang around with a loser – doesn't make you one….although..Hillary does hang with Bill…so….there are exceptions to that "rule"

This man is the king of flip flops.

He is ten times worse then Kerry.

Hero or not he is a flip flop artist.

Didn't McCain seek Hagge's endorsement, now he doesn't want it. Man, I'm getting dizzie from all the flip floppin…. WOO HOOO what a ride.

Poor McBush. He can't figure out why his clothes smell just like he's been sleeping with pigs. Yell at the cloud, old man.

Mission Not Accomplished May 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Obama needs to brush up on his math skills…you need 2210 delegates to win. There are 50 states in America, not 48. SD's aren't America's voices and they should not be counted until after America has voted and chosed their candidate. The popular vote is America's choice not the promised position votes. And a little lesson that I learned at 5 years old. Cheaters never prosper.
———————————————————————————-

Hillary, is that you?

McCain, the truth shall set you free. but since you have chosen to lie lie lie to the American public for political correctness, you will be made to give us a speech on religious tolerance, I wonder how that will turn out.

Hagee please respond, and I am sure Hagee will because He is such a proud man and will not shy aways from this McCain betrayal.

THE WEB IS A FREEDOM TO EXPRESS THOUGHTS SO LET MY COMMENT BE HEARD

McCain actively sought the endorsement of Haggee. He appeared with McCain in front of cameras, but now he wants to reject him. What a phony!!! What the other pastor who endorsed him, Parsley? McCain is such a hypocrite !!

Clinton supporters, I hope you do some careful thinking into McCain before you choose him over Obama. Vote on the issues, not a popularity contest.

Lastly, I blame the media for not covering McCain's pastor problems. They focused on Wright for most of 2 months, but McCain has more then one controversial pastor and it rarely gets mentioned.

Yet again, another too little too late from ol' Johnie.

If Hillary doesn't win against McCain, we'll vote for McCain.

I would love to see a battle between Raging Reverend Wright and Pastor John Hagee in a no-rules, ultimate fighting style match. I would put my money on Pastor John Hagee. They would probably get along good because they are both anti-semites.

Why was there a need for Mr McCain to compare him to Rev Wright, if he says the case is entirely different anyway? Because it makes him "look better"? Think again, McCain.

THIS SHOWS A JUDGMENT ISSUE FOR MCCAIN — I UNDERSTAND THAT HE PURSUED HAGEE'S ENDORCEMENT FOR 12 MONTHS!!! DID HE NOT KNOW OF THIS MAN'S RACIST STATEMENTS?

THEN, AFTER LEARNING HE STILL WOULD NOT RENOUNCE HAGEE.

Too lat. Every one know McBusy sought this endorsment. he can't backpeddle now!

McCain and the GOP are only doing this so they can try and use the Rev. Wright episode against Obama, which by the way has played out. Like Rev. Wright, I can careless what Rev. Hagee has to say. What they both have said ain't gonna change our falling economy, foreclosures, war in Iraq, high gas prices and the list goes on and on.
What I care about is that McCain thinks our economy is okay, which it's not, and we need to stay in Iraq for another 100 years, which would run this country into the next great depression. Just say no to McCain.

YES WE CAN!

so the medai is going to let this ride because he is white and a republican

"you can not have your cake and eat it too"

I also wonder if the media will treat this as they treated the Rev. Wright situation. I doubt it. This guy will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO HILLARY.

What the media should start asking is: Does McCain need Viagra? If Cindy McCain can answer that, then she doesn't need to release her tax returns.

But John, didn't you go out and ask for Hagge's support? This is not the same thing as someone endorsing you when you didn't ask for their help, you sought after Hagge's support. This controversy is nothing new for Hagge. You knew or should have known what kind of a person he was all along. Perhaps now you will shut up about Rev Wright!

Wow. That only took… a few months. Give me a break.

For those who insist that Hagee's endorsement of John McCain means that they share similar views, may I remind you that Hamas endorsed Sen. Obama?

Americans for McCain '08

McLie???

I am more troubled by a politician's solicitation of wackos like Hagee than I am by a candidate's quietly atttending a church led by one of them. Wright did not endorseObama, expected nothing from Obama, and there is no evidence Obama promised him anything. On the other hand, McC spent a year trying to get guys like Hagee (and Parsley) to endorse him, to solidify his credibility with the base – whether he actually went to their church or not. In exchange for the endorsment, and the right wing evangelical votes it brings, politicians promise to do certain things and to allow these wackos to have a say on public policy — including veto power over Supreme Court nominations. Yeah, there is a difference – McC's actions are far worse.

here we go again, now the Obama supporters start to offend the Mccain supporters.
Democratic, why and how you deny the achievements we had with President Clinton eight years term? You compare the first and the second Bush administration with President Clinton administration and see the difference.
Think about the next nominee that have to represent us and you will come up with the answer that we need a second Clinton Presidency to try to adjust the mess we are in.
HILLARY 08 A FIGHTER THE MOST QUALIFIED AND PREPARED CANDIDATE

Let the game begin. Obama got this roaches shook.

WE GONNA CHANG THE WAY BUSINESS IS DONE IN WASHINTON

I'd like to hear what some people have as long as this so called pastor is white?

Real issues? Obama better stay well away from real issues because every time he is not on a teleprompter repeating well written, rehearsed and poll tested talking points, he falls apart. But this is his paln for the general election, call every point scored against him, racist, off topic, or not a real issue. Every time I hear this I know this is a point that Obama has screwed up and is trying as hard as he can to avoid.

Now, now Mccain you said if the American people want talk about Pastor and Rev that fair game. McCain flip, flop flip , flop nobody knows when he'll stop.

Funny how CNN isn't probing the McCain rejecton of Hagee more critically. When Obama rejected Wright, they all said it was political however no mention of that here. You telling me this isn't political?

And how do you like MCain not even showing up to vote on the GI bill because he was at a political fundraiser in California.

John McCain – No Campaign for Old Men

This comment from MCain is just a taste of what is to come. Just like Hillary, Mcain is going to throw everything at Obama to discredit his campaign for the Presidency. Mcain is just too old to be taken seriously as a president.

Good 'ol John McCain flip flopping again when it's convenient. November '08 is going to be a cake walk…

Both the Obama and McCain reverend flaps are, in reality, equally irrelevant. However, this won't hurt McCain nearly as much as Obama was hurt.

mccain doesnt really mean this. he went after hagee's endorsement and once he saw that we wont have that kind of junk, he's all of a sudden denouncing it.

dont let mccain and the repubs play you for fools ANYMORE!!!!

McShame! Mister flip flop himself. What a clown. Just goes to show how age, senility and poor health can do for you mentally.

Dear Sir:
It would be in the best interest of any candidate to accept any religious endorsement, but simply say that even thou they may back you up. You may disagree with some of their religious points of view. These people have a very strong followings. Remember, while Jesus Christ disagreed with the churches or different beliefs of his time. He never turned his back on anyone. He compromised with love and understanding and his strong conviction in one God and one God only. And until the times comes for everyone. God will always be spiritual and devine. May God Bless everyone and give them the freedom to support whom ever they want.

It sure is funny to see all the democrats skittering around like cockroaches trying to make an issue out of this. Two words: NICE TRY!!! Obama is a racist and he's going to lose because of it.

look at his face….too much hate…Pastor,HUH?
How about MCsame?

While Obama shares the views of the man who married him, baptized his children, and whose sermans were a must see for his children each and every Sunday, McCain goes out of his way to speak out against a man who only gave him an endorsement who by the way is also not as hateful as Rev. Wright.

I like how this overall shows the differences that are the in the hearts of the right and the left. The hateful libs who stand by Obama must support the comments made by Rev. Wright, otherwise they would not support a man who shares his same views.

Is he going to reject the other "agents of intolerance" too? Let's see if he puts his money where his mouth is. So far he's just been towing the NeoCon line.

Hagee and people like him are the very root why racism is still such a problem in this country.

Mccain is gay why else would he go on Ellen, He was playing flipy-floppy in the Hanoi Hilton after aaall he is a FLIP-FLOPER (YES OBAMA CAN)!!!!!!

Wow!!! So much for the right wing fundamentalists!!! Sad for McCain trying to put Obama into spot light when he sold his soul fundamentalists. Where is Limbaugh? Oh.. he is another right wing monster!!!

I would be surprised if Sen. Obama used this against McCain, however, it really doesn't matter. There are real issues, directly attributable to Sen McCain, which Obama can address.

To blame a candidate, or attribute comments to a candidate who's supporter may be out of step or who are saying outrageous things is wrong. CNN, FOX, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, even Charlie Rose and Jim Lehrer are playing an active and nurturing role in this nonsense and it needs to stop.

We are finally demanding change in Washington DC. Our next huge hurdle will be to demand change from the media. They need to be hit in the pocket books. I would suggest we pay attention to the advertisers and then address concerns about the media to them. Otherwise, this "National Enquirer" mentality amongst mainstream meda will continue.

Pathetic. Why draw a parallel with Sen Obama? This repudiation is for political reasons only…..everyone can see this coming.

what about McCain's recruiting Rod Parsley's ? How come only Good Morning America is the only one that reports this.

You've got to be kidding me. CNN uncovers remarks made over ten years ago by a pastor who was never John McCain's pastor and now it's front page news?

I expect better from this network. I turn to CNN to escape the sensationalist journalism that dominates other markets. I don't turn hear to read about stuff like this.

Can we focus on the candidates and the issues instead of suffering through articles that defame and slander people (like Hagee and Wright) who aren't even running for office?

Please. I'm tired of people covering politics as if it were yet another episode in a reality television series.

TO ALL THE FORMER HILLARY SUPPORTERS NOW MCCAIN- How dare you new candidates pastor's remarks. I would NEVER sit in a church that spews this garbage. McCain should be ashamed, I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR MCCAIN!

PS- I wasn't going to vote for him anyway!

also, this guy endorsed McCain on his own free will. On the other hand Obama for 20 years chose to sit in the pews of this violent un-American piece of garbage in Wright. And again if you are so ignorant to think that A) he jsut started this style of preaching this year and/or B) Hagee and Wright situations are similar you truly are as ignorant as someone using the childish terms McBush, Billary etc.

OBAMA equals more govt control , higher taxes, lenient judges that help the criminal, gay marriages, terrible health insurance. His best bet is for white house butler. His wife would be a great white house maid.

Too little too late you hypocrite!

I wonder if McSame will get the same grilling like Barack.

I doubt it.

Obama 08′/12′

He should get Hillary as VP. My Vote goes to Obama. If Hillary gets the nomination than I'll vote to McCain. Because there is no differance.

Raz

Obama has Wright, who insulted all of America, McCain has Hagee, who insulted Catholics and Jews, and Hillary has Bill, who insults everybody's intelligence.

Let's move on to some real issues. How much is a gallon of gas today?

Yet another flip flop.

McCain BEGGED Hagee for his endorsement, thinking it would make him look good with the Christian wing-nut faction.
He is already on record saying that Hagee represents his values.
Now, when those "chickens come home to roost", he wants out.

Well about freakin time….

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, Give it up McCain. The smart Obama people just won't be led into the crap you are flinging. Go home and take a nap. I wonder how long it will take the Republicans and Clinton supporters to realize they are being duped. WAKE UP!!!
GO OBAMA

GIVE ME A BREAK MCCAIN! YOU TOOK HIS ENDORSMENT AND YOU KNEW OF HAGEES OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND KATRINA VICTIMS! YOU SHOULD HAVE REJECTED HIS ENDORSMENT AT THAT TIME – NOT NOW WHEN THE MEDIA IS POINTING IT OUYT FOR YOU! DON'T TRY TO PUT DOWN OBAMA BECAUSE YOU'RE NO DIFFERENT IF YOU WANNA GO THAT ROUTE!

Yea, right…and jack jumped over the moon.

How can McCain's camp actively pursue Hagee's endorsement for nearly a year and finally get it, and then repudiate his endorsement within two months? McCain just officially lost the evangelical vote and with it any real chance at the presidency!

Obama in 08!

Goes to show…. African Americans arent the only ones with crazy, stab u in the back, while your not looking pastors

Why don't we hear more about Hagee? We hear all this nonsense about 2 minutes of Wright's lifetime. Meanwhile, Hagee's been a windbag of totally ridiculous hateful, anti-Catholic, sexist, racist rhetoric for years. Now McCain says he's not friends. Right. In the meantime, McCain was a member of Keating Five. He also pushes forward unethical land deals for his friend Donald Diamond. He has continually misused his power in the Senate. He also votes against Veterans' Benefits. He's consistently told us that he wants to continue war in the middle east. I think November's choice is clear. Vote Obama.

All I have to says is…., WOW. But I will not judge McCain on the Pastors words.

Anyone who uses the term "McBush" shows their ignorance before anything else is said. Yes he is a republican as is Bush. And yes he has SOME similar policies. But truth be told you couldn't have two more distant policies within a same party. Read about it before you begin spewing your venom through ignorant name-calling and CHILDISH terms such as McBush. Same goes for Billary, Hussein Obama, etc. The ignorance on these boards is troubling since the same childish, venomous people are voting for our next leader. You are sad Americans. Debate respectfully otherwise you like like a pompous ignoramous. Tisk tisk…

Wow this sound very familiar

Jeez, he can't even do pandering well. How on Earth did he earn the GOP nom? But seriously. Judgment much? This oughta be a fun General campaign for Barack. McBush is making things easy.

WHAT TOOK HIM SO LONG?!?!?! – Jeez – It has been there forever. If it takes McSame this long to brief public information, how long is it going to take MCSAME to brief or analyze SENSITIVE U.S. STRAGIES AND INTEL? No JUDAIC vote for MCSANE , NO ISLAMIC VOTE for MCSANE. AND NO CATHOLIC VOTE for MCSANE .

NO MCSAME, NO MCBLAME, NO MCFLIP, and NO MCFLOP…EVER.

I realize the media bias. When it was reverend Wright, it was all on the network.

John McKain seeked Hagee's endorsement, now it suits him to reject it. Hagee did not beg him for anything.
McBush is a hypocrite!
The wheels are falling off the straight talk express!

And while I am at it HILLARY IS A SORE LOSER! GIVE IT UP HILLARY

YOU ARE TOO POWER HUNGRY

O YEA,

ONE MINUTE HE STANDING AT A PODIUM, ACCEPTING

HIS ENDORSEMENT, THEN NEEDED TO BACKTRACK.

PRETTY MUCH LIKE, ALL HIS OTHER FLIP FLOPPING.

McCain is full of crap. The American population certainly isn't as stupid as he thinks we are to fall for this nonsense.

There is no comparison of this joker and the vindictive Mr Wright. McCain did not sit in his pew for 20 yrs listening to anti-American rants and Hagee is not his mentor and "uncle". Do not even try to equate the two.

Instead of looking at what all these "pastors" are saying, look at the politicians !
Bush claims to beleive in Jesus Christ, yet do his actions show he is following the teachings of Jesus Christ?
An unjust war that is killing millions and costing billions !
Siding with big business, and not caring about the middle income and poor !
KATRINA ? People die while waiting for help !
Trailors to live in that are unsafe and could cause them to get cancer later in life?
Etc, etc, etc….

This is fun but meaningless. We all have friends that have morally questionable views. Who cares??? Let's stop acting like we're gods and lets move on to real issues.

HA HA HA HA —

Where's the irony in this joke? Sen. McCain has been getting a FREE RIDE with his own dirt. Like his endorsement from Rev. Hagee and Parsley.

Talk about DAMAGE CONTROL….

John McCain is trying to clean up the skeletons in his closet.

Ahhhhhh…. TOO LATE, YOU WAITED TOO LONG!! JUST LIKE YOUR APOLOGY FOR VOTING AGAINST THE MLK HOLIDAY!!!

it''s not like mccain chose to listen to the guy spew venom for over 2 decades, like obama did with rev. wright. for a harvard grad obama couldn't pick up on rev. wrights hatred, until he was sinking in the polls and had to throw him under the bus, with his "typical" white grammy.

Rejecting an endorsement…what an idiotic concept.

I understand candidates have to be politically correct but you can't reject an endorsement. A wacky pastor likes him – so what? If you don't agree with the pastor then (and givn that with Rev. Wright it has to be adressed) just say so.

The idea that you don't want the support of someone because you disagree with them is just dumb.

Anyone who buys Obamas rejection of his preacher, I have one word for you, SUCKER!!!!

I don't believe that John McLame didn't know how his pastor was. So I really think that we need to question his relationship with this pastor.

The headline says that he rejects Hagee's endorsement, but he was not quoted as saying that. He just repudiated the comments. And what a whimp he is to drag Obama into this. This is about HIM and HIS Pastor. He is so much like his granddaughter, Hillary Clinton.

You don't have to dig up a clip on youtube to hear Hagee's rants. He's on national television multiple times a week and on cable.

If McCain did not know about Hagee, then he's really out of touch.

Well, that restores confidence in a man who admits that he seeks out endorsements from people without knowing what their views are. Following his recent discovery that his campaign staff ws full of lobbyists. No one seems to be home in McCain's skull.
McCain admits he is old – that he doesn't know anything abou the economy, doesn't know the views of people from whom he seeks support, doesn't know the backgrounds of people he employs, made propoganda statements for the North Vietnamese, and is too busy raising money to vote on support for the troops.
Perhaps the GOP will change their mind about their nominee by September.

McCain you heard of karma?? That's what got you lol.

IAM SO SICK OF DOUBLE STANDARDS. Why isn't someone looping the Hagee comments on You-Tube? Senator McCain went and sought the support of Hagee…………….doesn't this go toward Senator McCain's leadership? How can you go on your hands and knees seeking the support of someone like Hagee and you don't bother to find out if there are skeletons?

If you are as smart as Liberman claims, then why didn't you know about Hagee comments and why is Senator Liberman willing to support you after the rampage of Hagee against Jews?

Senator Liberman, are you so interested in becoming a Republican and Vice President that you would sell out your own people?

Too little too late. There is no new news on Hagee to justify this move, unlike with Rev Wright and his media blitz. So what could have moved McCain to do this after proclaiming Hagee has a right to his opinion. Hear that? It's the sound of an old-school polition flip-flopping. "I did not know of them before Reverend Hagee's endorsement …" Paleeze, and when you found out a month ago and did nothing, I want to know, what happened to your integrity – I think you've lost what little you had left.

This three ring circus is driving me crazy

Hahaha. I think this is funny. Hagge and Parsley are KNOWN for their stance on multi-cultural issues. You don't have to go to their church or have them as your spiritual advisor for 20 years to know that they are fear-mongerers full of hate-speech. I knew that and I've never been to one of their sermons!!

Obama needs to brush up on his math skills…you need 2210 delegates to win. There are 50 states in America, not 48. SD's aren't America's voices and they should not be counted until after America has voted and chosed their candidate. The popular vote is America's choice not the promised position votes. And a little lesson that I learned at 5 years old. Cheaters never prosper.

Why didn't he reject Pat Buchanan and his racist statements yet? Why didn't the main stream media reject these statements either?

NOW OBAMA NEEDS TO REJECT HIS MENTOR REV> WRIGHT

Its about time cover your own butt and you seeked his endorsement… Wow what decision making..

Well at least we now know that the GOP had better shut their big yaps about Wright as well from now on…

Can we focus on the real issues from now on? Thank you, that would be a true breath of fresh air.

Unfortunately for McCain and his mates the issues are what is really killing them: they created the mess the US is in these days for Pete's sakes.

I am disappointed in you McCain. You are acting like Billary now. You are "Mis-Speaking" as you say you rejected his endorsement as soon as you know about it. Hagee has been saying this BS on national telivison for years, and you have rejected his endorsement NOW!!!.

I see you taking a cheap shot at Obama, not a denoucement of his endorsement.

What has become of you, a man of integrity? Obama says you "Out-Bushed" other republicans to be a nominee. I say you are "Out-Billerying" now to be a president.

Get rid of your Carl Roves and hire McKinnons. You may lose the elections but will keep your integrity and image.

McCain is right. Definitely no comparison to the Rev. Wright/Obama relationship. This Hagee guy is just someone who endorsed McCain. He was not his spiritual advisor like Rev. Wright is to Obama. Eventhough now Obama says he never said he was his spiritual advisor….but sorry Obama it's on record.

McCain rejects Hagee
Obama rejects Rev. Wright
So let's get over these pastor comments and think practical now.
Stop the unfair attacks of former pastors.
What if you learn that your grandpa is a phsyco after 30 years? The most you could do is try to distance yourself and your family from him and I am sure it would be painful.
Obama's situation was somewhat like that. That shows his attachment, love, ethical values towards someone he loved once. Thank god, now he is able to get over it.
Let's not bring these pastor issues again. There are stupid people in this world doing stupid things. We have more important things to consider and make a decision in Nov 2008. This decision will decide the future of our next 4 years
OBAMA / AL GORE (2008)

So much for the Wright fiasco. In the name of fairness I expect this idiot's ravings to appear for DAYS on every channel-just like Wright. But it won't because the GOP (Greedy Old Pigs) won't allow it.

CNN will you please run this article over and over again, until at least November, and also, dig up some more factual dirt about Hillary Rodham Clinton, and run that article on your network. I'll be watching your unbias reporting, if you ever get to doing so. Clinton and McCain need some free negative air time on your news shows, daily through November.

Thanks,
Democracy at Work

Haha, haha, What goes around comes around!. Republicans see the fault in others meanwhile leaving a huge log in their eyes. Hypocrisy is the best sense of word!.

It took you long enough Mr. McCain!!!!!

It's amazing that it took a quote against Jews to bring this about. His tirades against Catholics and Islam weren't enough. Someone's trying really hard not to upset the powerful Israeli Lobby and AIPAC.

Hagee is a gigantic, offensive, money-grubbing blowhard and should be taken off the air.

Imus was taken off the air for his comments…so were dozens of others….as a Catholic, I am deeply insulted by Hagee's comments….

Because of this, I question McCain's decision making abilities. see an old man whom is fumbling around making bad decisions and trying to fix them.

I thought Rev. Hagee's little model of the hootchie-kootchie girl riding the wild beast was kind of cute. Great way to illustrate the book of Revelation.

All these wingnuts do incredible damage to the credibilty of Christianity in the unchurched mind. Thanks a lot, guys.

About time.

Now McCain needs to figure out a way to reject Parley and still save face. He sought the endorsement of Parley, and got it with a smile on his face.

It took him long enough to reject it! I mean didn't Hagee endorse him several months ago? He's just now rejecting it? What

What took so long to cut this idiot loose?

Receiving an unsolicited endorement from a reprobate such as Hagee is one thing … but McThuselah actively courted this pig! McThuselah is a fraud and an absolute panderer of the worst kind. However, for such an old man … he sure can do a magnificent flip flop!!!

Yeahhhh! they (McCain and Parsley) have met only once over breakfast. McCain did not sound that way when he introduced him as moralist…..That`s just another republican hypocrisy. It would have sounded worst if that was directed at a Democrat. PEOPLE WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!

Who cares McCain doesn't go to his church nor was this pastor his mentor for 20 years.

How exactly does this compare with Obama listening to an anti-american racist preacher for almost 22 YEARS??? Please. No fair minded person could fail to see that obama either was mind blowingly stupid not to see wrights views for 22 YEARS, or agreed with the preacher of hate. Obama thinks he has dodged his past but it has not yet begun to be used against him. A vote for Obama in 2008 is a vote to divide the country even more.

Interesting…is the the next Rev Wright?

McCain is such a coniving being! He is such a two faced common politician!

Everybody stay tuned tomorrow to see McCain's health records. They will conveniently come out when everyone is leaving on holiday.

I have a small group of Satan worshiping rock and rollers, where is my faith based money?

No Country for Old Men!

I love how McCain said that he doesn't think that Obama shares Wright's extreme views then goes on to say, "But let me also be clear, Reverend Hagee was not and is not my pastor or spiritual advisor, and I did not attend his church for twenty years."

Talk about Double Speak!

So he doesn't think Obama shares Wright's views but then implies that he thinks Obama shares Wright's views?????

Watch the media brush this under the rug because Hagee is white!

too little, too late. mccain is soooooo pathetically transparent.

mccain is a FAKE!!!!!!!! take your self-serving ways, your hypocricy and LIES back to A.Z., you're not wanted and you're NOT worthy of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes! Good news…that's starting coming out!be ready american people!
u'll know who Grand papy really is!
NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excuses…lies lies ….no more lies…I didn't know,right?

Only did it so that when he meets Senator Obama when he is the nominee that he can bring up his former minister.

It's about time. It's unclear to me why he sought it in the first place. Is the "maverick" finally coming to the fore? I hope so.

When you have 2 jokers..this is what happens!

Bad move, Mac.
I'm wit' 'ya, but this was dumb.

And what's really sad is that the media refused to talk about this problem extensively. But when Obama had his "pastor problems", you couldn't change a channel without hearing something about it. In fact, you never hear exit polls reflecting McCain and his nutcase pastor.

Why are people who do not have at least a college level education even allowed to vote? It boggles the mind.

Any bets on how long before the next Obama double-talk? Here's how it breaks down:

Rev.Wright was no issue and the media blew it out of propotion and we should leave people's church attendance out of the campaign.

BUT Pastor Hagee is a complete and total condemnation of everything McCain stands for, whether he was his pastor or not. BONUS: And it is Hillary's fault in fact since she is a woman.

Go Hillary – save us from this!

He knew full well of this man's comments! Then he try to flip the script to referrence Rev. Wright. Nice try grumpy old man!

Yeah, it is good to remind us of that Hagee was not your Pastor… like Wright was Obama's Pastor… but at least we now know you are a big hypocrite. I wonder how you even leave with yourself.

Now please can you Hagee respond to Macain. This will be fun.

McCain is nothing but a nebish and shlimazl… just like this shlump of a preacher…

SOPHIA: Wake up girl. Won't ever happne in our lifetimes.

Hagee may not be McCain's "spiritual advisor"… but Rod Parsley is…

Will he reject HIS anti-islamic and intensely homophobic endorsement as well?? We'll see…

I believe Obama agrees with Rev Wright completely. Otherwise, he would have been consistent instead of denouncing by degrees as it was necessary. I can understand Rev Wright's position. He grew up in a cruel world and it is no wonder that he is "bitter". I believe love and forgiveness (as taught in every church I ever attended) has a better chance of changing the world for the better and we all know there is a lot that needs to be changed. There is no excuse for Obama taking his daughters to that church to be indoctrinated with that kind of hatred. It is just too late to explain that.

McCain's relationship with Hagee does not compare and does not need to be explained. Hagee's endorsement of McCain is the same as Hamas endorsement of Obama—unimportant.

Condo-lisa… Has much better foundations…

McCain could've done this MONTHS ago…why wait until now? If it takes that long to reject Hagee….my gosh how long will it take if in the White House? Does it take him that long to think it through?

I still believe that a candidate cannot be held responsible for his Pastor's views. What happened to our famed freedom of speech and expression. Hagge, Wright etc should not be an issue in this election.

"I have denounced statements he made immediately upon learning of them, as I do again today,” said McCain."

McCain is lying. I have been reading about Hagees statements since the initial Wright controversy started. This is B.S. that the media is allowing him to get away with this.

There is a huge difference between Haggee and Wright. Wright advocates non violence and questions the US use of force in dealing with our neighbors in the world. Haggee believes violence is inevitable and an act of God. One man is for peace. One man is a neocon hiding behind a bible.

Sorry McCain, the HYPOCRISY EXPRESS has left the station again! You were the maverick in 2000. Then you went out of your way to covet the endorsements of guys like Hagee and Falwell (who you still haven't rejected), and now your argument is "my crazy pastor is less bad than the other guy's crazy pastor".

To all of you Hillary supporters who intend to boycott Obama, fine, but please don't vote for this guy. Vote for that Green Party guy.

These days hate speech goes and church go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Therefore, it's all a complete non-issue. Lets hope it doesn't take up to much of the campaign on either side.

Now that he's won the nomination, he can drop that nut-case like a bad habit! What a man of principle John McCain is turning out to be!

Everyone's got a crazy pastor nowadays. They are Sunday Entertainers–leave them alone.

Unions are not stupid:

Lies Lies Lies wait till the DNC and Obama get a hold of this. I wonder why he does not have people proof read his statements before he comes out and says thing that can be proven false with 5 seconds and Google.

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

OBAMA HAS NO ROOM TO COMMENT! He is as guilty on this issue as McCain. Only difference is his pastor was black and named Wright!

Quote From Senator McCain:

“I have said I do not believe Senator Obama shares Reverend Wright's extreme views. But let me also be clear, Reverend Hagee was not and is not my pastor or spiritual advisor, and I did not attend his church for twenty years. I have denounced statements he made immediately upon learning of them, as I do again today,”

ZING!!!! This is what you and your cohort Senator Clinton does. Say one thing but try to take a parting shot at the one person who seems to have his head on straight.

Is this all you got Senator?

Yes We Can & Yes We Should
Obama 08′

How abut we keep religion OUT OF our government all together?

McCain is the BIGGEST and GREATEST HYPOCRITE in the World.
He accepts endorsments only for political gains.

These "pastor problems" are seriously manufactured.

At this rate, by the time the general election is over, McCain and Obama will be left with about 3 people that they haven't had to denounce. Hopefully for them their wives will be among the 3.

Hillary supporters, let's pretend Hillary won the nomination (which isn't going to happen – but pretend an alternate universe exists where that did happen).

What are you going to do when McCain starts winning, threaten to vote for McCain?

JOHN "Tansparent" Mc"Bush!

You're TOAST old man! GOT MILK?

H,ha,ha,ha,ha………………………………

This issue has been out there for a while—————————–

Being wondering when it was going to get some news coverage!

I want to see Mc Shame's pastors issue in the news for the same about of time they gave Rev. Wright………………………………………….

Go Bam!

It took you long enough. You only did it to try to bring Rev. Wright back into the picture. You must know and understand , that America is smater than the Rev. Wright issue and any other issue you Republican's bring up Michelle's comments did not work, the flag pin did not work, Rev. Wright did not work and you have absolutely nothing else which is why you wanted so bad to run against Hillary with all the baggage that her and Bill has. The only other thing that you have is that Obama is black and if people want change and can see though Obama' black skin, then he will become become president.

Lies Lies Lies wait till the DNC and Obama get a hold of this. I wonder why he does not have people proof read his statements before he comes out and says thing that can be proven false with 5 seconds and Google.

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

Okay, I can't really criticize McCain on this one 'cause I DON'T CARE!!! Just because somebody endorsed him doesn't mean he's responsible FOR them. Anyone who's turned off to McCain solely because of Hagee is just as bad as someone who's turned off to Obama solely because of Wright.

Mc"Bush" is outraged, hurt, surpised, shamed that Hagee would say or feel the way he does.

He totally rejects this man's view, his racism, his hatred….NOW! that it has become an issue.

Gee, it seems like we were here just a few weeks ago with antoehr candidate only this guy was black and had a black pastor named Wright!

Spooky!

I see Mc Cain ———– so now you have to attached Obama to your pastors problems?

Too funny!

Go Obama! Time to get this show on the road!

You never miss a chance to dis Senator Obama, do you now!
I am an Arizonan and I am a Democrat…guess what, you don't have my vote.

By all means necessary

Barack 08-12

ABOUT FRIKIN' TIME!

AND PLEASE, STOP THE EXCUSES! YOU KNEW ABOUT THE STATEMENTS THIS JACK— MADE!

WHO ARE YOU KIDDING!!!!!!!!

Whatever McCain…

And BTW, you are too old to be POTUS

If that ageism…take it up with the US government…employees are forced to retire at 65, but this old fool is allowed to run for the highest position in the USA?

Wait a minute didn't I see McCain a few weeks ago on television accepting the endorsement? Now he rejects it? He and Hillary must be using the same campaign booklet.

Superdelegates, stop the Clinton's attempted theft; Obama needs to be free to fight this BS.

Give us a break!

Of course Mc"Bush" rejects his endorsement NOW!

Just like Obama rejected Wright's endorsment, etc. after he became a liability.

Please stop treating us as if we don't have one working brain cell. I take great offense to your arrogance.

Who cares what pastors, rabies, priests, etc. have to say about anything, honestly.

Mccain wanted this man's endorsement knowing what he said prior to the endorsement.

It's just shocking. There is no way I would vote for Mccain.

Took long enough. Will the media care? Not likely. Hagee's not a black reverend. The media will brush it under the rug.

politically expedient…..

(worried about that Jewish vote down in Florida, I imagine).
