    As a liberal and a gay man myself, you have to see that author is simply playing politics 101. What a poorly written piece indeed.

    This pastor only endorsed McCain. Wright was Obamas pastor for 20 years! McCain will take any endorsement he can get! McCain never sat in the church. Obama listened to racist sermons for 20 years and did or said nothing. This story is irrelevant!

    It's interesting how the NYT has become a crusader and tries to diss McCain.

    After we've all seen Obama chose as an adult to be surrounded by anti American (and anti semite, and racist) people, there is nothing much to say.

    I am super happy that you posted this on here! People need to know about this man. Everyone has been talking shit about Obama for being associated with Rev. Wright and I hear very little about Mccain's association with this Pastor. I have read things about him before but this article was even mroe eye opening. I say black is the new president bitch! lol

    Hello… there is a huge difference between being endorsed by a preacher and going to his church for 20 years and writing about him in your autobiography. Just saying. Perez, you mudslinger you. :)

    #10 - I agree 100%. I wish there would be more said about Obamas wife, the racist. Her college thesis is a racist paper. Look it up people. For two people who claim that they are opposed to racism, they sure are taking a peculiar path!

    The difference is that John Mccain has NEVER…not even a single time…ever sat in a pew and listened to Hagee. That makes a HUGE difference to me when compared to Obama who sat in Wright's church for 20 years.

    HAHAHA america the foreigners are laughing at you all…how stupid can you be to judge somebody on what their pastor says?? how stupid can u be to judge that pastor as anti american when the people who call themselves media doctored a tape and didnt show the whole thing where it clearly shows the anti american statements weren't wright's but that of a white man? how stupid can you be to vote a woman as president? how stupid can you be to not realize that wright's words were 90% true and americans are just afraid of reality so they call him racist…..VEYYYY STUPID!! hahaha thanks america for my daily dose of comedy…..

    Doesn't fly, Perez. McCain didn't go to his church for 20 years and have him baptize his children. There's all kinds of crazies out there endorsing. Also, you talk about the same way about Pammy Sue. What does that say about you?

  30. Doesn't Compare says – reply to this
    30

    When McCain absorbs such hatred for 20 years, purposely chooses this man to marry him and his wife, baptize his children, and become a family friend, let me know. Until then, it doesn't compare to Barockstar Obama at all. And Hllary..that chick could use a little church in her life. Enuf Said.

    Get a clue. Saying the Barack is "worse" b/c he sat in a pew b/c of this? So, basically everybody apart of the Trinity Church in Chicago is "bad" b/c of Rev. Wright? GET A CLUE. Atleast Barack didn't LOOK for Rev. Wright's endorsement! McCain, WANTED this guy's endorsement b/c he can get the southern, ultra-right wing vote. GET A CLUE! Barack NEVER made his relationship with REv. Wright political…the press and naive public made it so. GET A CLUE. BTW: I personally don't think McCain believes what this crazy Rev Hagee believes….but it's quite ironic he's gotta a "free pass" by the press while Barack has been lambasted over this. GET A CLUE.

    John McCain was tortured for 6 years while a POW in Vietnam.

    They broke his jaw and he is permanently deformed.

    They also broke his arms, broke one shoulder and dislocated the other, they also stabbed him twice with bayonets. He was offered early release before others and he REFUSED to leave before them.

    He was first denied medical aid after crashing his jet. He had 2 broken arms, a broken leg, broken knee.

    He will always walk with a limp.

  36. Reverend Wright Has Already Set The Crazazy Bar Too High says – reply to this
    36

    I read that article carefully earlier this morning from the Drudge Report.
    A logical attempt to balance things out, and I think you're trying to give equal time, Perez/Mario—and that's fair in principle, but as the article states itself:
    "It boils down to this: Mr. McCain was not a parishioner for 20 years at Mr. Hagee’s church". McCain was never a parishioner at this church. He just accepted a preacher's endorsement. Which, incidentally is not worth shit anymore.
    The comparison is not equivalent.

    Don't you love how the Obama Mama tries to style herself after Jackie O? What black woman (or white for that matter) in this 21st Century wears their hair like that with sleeveless sheath dresses? Oh, and I especially loved how Bama posed himself just like JFK with the thoughtful look out the airplane window how contrived. What do they stand for? ?????? They are going nowhere fast. The US is not ready to hand ourselves over to the enemy as Bama would do. God save America!

    They think they EARNED the right to call each other Ngger. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

    French in Wars

    * Originally thought that French "Courage" could win battle. This thought was proved wrong when many of them shit their pants in WWI
    * In WWII Decided to put all their money and soldiers to make a big wall. Germans go ’round wall, pwnt French.
    * The only war the French ever won was against themselves.
    * The French never really took over the known world under Napoleon. (The FSM is responsible)
    * At least 100 years ago, British soldiers wore red coats because they did not show blood stains. This is why French soldiers wear brown pants.
    * The "victory" the French army is best known for is NOT having Orleans taken over and Napoleon. England is best known for killing Joan of Arc who repelled the invasion of Orleans and killing Napoleon.
    * The French army's arsenal consists of wine bottles, pointy sticks, large blunt objects(Year old crusty bread), and white flags.
    * Communication on the battlefield has come along way from yelling, now the use cans with strings to relay important military manoeuvres. The problem is that opposing soldiers sometimes carry scissors.
    * Other French motorised armoured transport is always built with at least one forward gear in case the enemy attacks from behind.

    There is a HUGE difference between this man and Rev. Wright, being that this man simply endorsed John McCain, an endorsement McCain did not court or even want.

    Is it just me or does anyone else believe Elizabeth Hasslebeck is posting over and over again in this topic? Call me crazy, but she is the most annoying pseudointellectual little mousy loser ever and I can just see her sitting at home with her B team hubby, typing furiously as she she feeds Grace and the other one she took such pride in bringing into this world like she was the only barefoot and pregnant dowdy mouse on the planet. I soooo hate her and the addition of another smart woman on the panel just emphasizes her utter vapidity… She and Sherri should only talk about babies, in some quiet whale language, in another room, on another set, on another continent, on another universe. I hate Elizabeth and yet I think she wants so badly to be cool and in the know that she surfs the net and memorizes every bit she can to vomit on the show during the week. Maybe I'm wrong…

John McCain publicly announced that he does not recognize this person's public endorsement (check your facts perez!).

    Re: educated – This is nothing compared to Rev. Wright though. No wonder Obama voted "no" to war, it wasn't insight, it was his backing of his church's beliefs!! Thats what it was, he thought the gov.s intelligence report was accurate, too. But you know what his church says about America and war and how 9/11 was our own fault, well thats how Obama voted!! So Obama must of believed this also, it wasn't insight, it was Obama speaking for his church!! Therefore Obama knew how his church elders felt and backed them by voting "no" to war, because they believed the "punishment" fit the "crime". Thats what this really is. Its about his church and their beliefs!!!

    It's about time this was posted. Jeez.

    GOPDIVA - the difference is, and what makes this relevant is, Senator John McCain has openly praised the Minister, and has gone on record as stating he agrees with him.

    I think that we can pretty much agree that most Ministers are crazy, fundamentalist narcissists, but to go on record as to agree wholeheartedly with the crazies is directly putting yourself in that group.

  70. JOHN HAGEE MARRIED THE BITCH HE WAS MARRIAGE COUNSELING!!! says – reply to this
    70

    I happen to know this pastor lives in a multi-million dollar mansion in the same exclusive–but tacky–gated community as most of the San Antonio Spurs. He swindles money from the poor and lines his pockets with it. He is a fat gluttonous pig and here I thought gluttony was one of the 7 deadly sins. During the whole Y2K fiasco, he was selling mayonnaise jars of "holy grain" for $50! He is an ex high school football coach who got kicked out of a real church so he founded his own money-making machine!
    He says Hurricane Katrina happened because New Orleans was going to have a gay parade. Following that "logic" I wonder why the recent Arkansas tornadoes destroyed a newly built Baptist Church? He is a revolting pig. Oink Oink. He claimed his new house had mold damage and moved into a luxury hotel for a couple of years while he sued his homebuilder for millions in damages. Oink Oink. Fat gluttonous pig Hagee! Oh and he MARRIED the bitch he was MARRIAGE COUNSELLING when she was MARRIED TO ANOTHER MAN. Oink. Oink. He's a rutting pig. Oink. His "school" was on Judge Judy and LOST THE CASE–they locked some poor kid in a broom closet all day. Oink.

    Re: educated

    John McCain has publicly stated that he is very honored to be endorsed by this man, and McCain's campaign actively sought out this endorsement.

    For Pete's sake, Hagee has introduced him at speeches and campaign events within the past year.

    For McCain to say he doesn't recognize his endorsement, when he's already stated that he's very honored to have the support, and has allowed him to introduce him in South Carolina at a campaign rally reveals that McCain is no more than a dirty liar trying to hide something.

    What does a pastor who McCain never meet until he was endorsed by him and this same pastor took back his opinions on the catholic church have to do with Obama who is barely know to the public, who was brought up in Indonesia ( the most populated Islamic country, which practices Sharia Law, were a school girl going to class got kidnapped and her head chopped off because she was wearing a catholic uniform just a couple of years ago) who's father and step father were muslim, who has never done anything for his country but run for office to get power and complain what a shit country it is , wasn't it Obama's wife that called America a mean country and has never been proud of it until it started to vote for her unqualified husband. Who has gone to a church that practices Black Liberation Theology, who's racist pastor has been a close friend of the Obama's wasn't it Obama that called him his uncle, baptized Obama's two kids, officiated Obama's wedding, baptized Obama himself, who Obama is on tape introducing this same pastor as his 'spiritual advisor", his mentor and sounding broad.
