The real Pastorgate: McCain's embracing of an "agent of intolerance" for political gain

[usregimechange]

Unholy alliance




Moral ineptitude

February 28, 2000: "Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right." ~McCain

v.

April 2, 2006: RUSSERT: "Do you believe that Jerry Falwell is still an agent of intolerance?" MCCAIN: "No, I don’t." McCain, "Meet the Press,"


The question

Since politicians are to be held responsible for the words of their supporters, let us also ask McCain to explain his embracing a former, in his own words, "agent of intolerance" who had changed so much since 2000 that he blamed even feminists for 9-11!

Let's ask a question such as:

"Since you just climbed out of your Straight Talk Express, tell us you didn't just embrace an agent of hate and intolerance simply for political gain?"


DU complicity

Yes, I am calling us all out for attacking our fellow Democrats, at times aligning with Sean Hannity for Christ sake, and focusing on what controversial remarks made by associations of our candidates. It is no wonder the echo chambers have filled the MSM sheep with what only hurts our party and the progressive movement that we have all worked so hard for.

So...

Do you want a "pastorgate?" Then, shut the hell up and focus on a real one.

See above.

3. yup agreed

McCain better think twice.

He even sought John Haggee's endorsement.

4. I agree with you.

Wrights comments were few but the media managed to blow it up beyond recognition. And once again Democratic supporters take the divisive bait.

[Yes We Did]

9. Doesn't the OP know the rules? You can't go after McCain on here!

You have to slam Obama or Hillary!

And forget those "party unity" posts. Those drop right off the radar.

2. Fallwell is long gone.McCains new preacher that just ..

endorsed him is John Hagee. This guy is a real fanatical nut and McCain went and sought out this racists backing.

between the rightwing smear machine and the Clinton machine for a while.
