Republicans Hate Other Christians


John McCain's own Jeremiah Wright apologizes for comments he made about Catholics. Although the comments were made a while back, the media has failed to snatch on to it, like most things McCain.
"But when a reporter asked him about the controversy recently -- noting that Illinois Sen. Barack Obama had drawn far more criticism for the comments of his pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. -- McCain responded that Hagee had not been his pastor for 20 years."
Oh, that gives McCain a pass. Except McCain ACTIVELY sought this man's endorsement to give him a boost in a demographic that shuns him. Barack at least had faith to back up what his preacher was saying and witnessed good deeds in those 20 years. John can't even account for any good things Hagee may or may not have said.
[In his apology] Hagee wrote of his "profound respect for the Catholic people"
Well, we all call people we respect followers of a "false cult system" anyway. It's really just a term of endearment like calling them "the great whore."
"McCain at first waved off the criticisms, asserting that just because Hagee endorsed him "does not mean I embrace everything that he stands for and believes in."
So how is Barack Obama held to a different standard? May I reiterate, McCain ACTIVELY SOUGHT HAGEE'S ENDORSEMENT. He wine dined sixty nined that ho.
Unfortunately, The Catholic League responded by saying:
"The tone of Hagee's letter is sincere. He wants reconciliation and he has achieved it. . . . Whatever problems we had before are now history. This case is closed."
Oh come on! You gave Kathy Griffin more of a fight and she's at least funny.
As a fellow Catholic the only way I see for John Hagee to make amends and demonstrate real regret is by attending confession, practicing a penance, and then attending mass. On second thought, I believe he also needs a week at a Catholic school where he can get smacked by nuns with rulers. It's the only true path to Heaven.
