Please MSM, do not discuss McCain's minister.
Continue to scare us white folks by showing clips of Obama's minister, taken out of context, to show that behind the optimism of Obama's image is, well, and angry black man. Please don't discuss anything else (except for Spitzer's penis.
Whatever you do, don't mention embraced McCain supporter Reverend Hagee, because he's just another fundamentalist loon, and what harm could they do. (see: G W Bush Presidency).

8. Please provide a link to back that up...
...I loathe McCain and if w3hat you say is true, then he needs more scrutiny, but if you keep trying to compare this to Wright, you really don't get the difference.

9. one example of what is not good enough:
MCCAIN: Well, obviously I repudiate any comments that are anti-semetic or anti-Catholic, racist, any other. And I condemn them and I condemn those words that Pastor Hagee apparently…that Pastor Hagee wrote. I will say that he said that his words were taken out of context, he defends his position. I hope that maybe you’d give him a chance to respond. He says he has never been anti-Catholic, but I repudiate the words that create that impression. I will say, I’d like to say on his behalf, he’s been a very strong supporter of the state of Israel and when we were doing the No Surrender tour, he came and spoke on behalf of not surrendering in Iraq. So, but any comments that are made that are in anyway offensive then I repudiate those for all of the obvious reasons, Bill.

Snip-->

But unlike his previous, half-hearted attempts to distance himself from Hagee, McCain also spoke up in the controversial pastor’s defense, saying that Hagee “said that his words were taken out of context”:

"I will say that he said that his words were taken out of context, he defends his position. I hope that maybe you’d give him a chance to respond. He says he has never been anti-Catholic, but I repudiate the words that create that impression."

McCain then said he could look past Hagee’s bigoted comments because “when we were doing the No Surrender tour, he came and spoke on behalf of not surrendering in Iraq.”

11. Hagee is a lot scarier than Wright.
Wright is right, if you pardon the expression. Or at least correct in his assessment from his point of view of the things we have done.
Hagee is a lunatic fundamentalist who wants us to bomb the Middle east to bring on Armageddon. People like Hagee are extremely dangerous. Well, all fundamentalist extremists are but our brand is particularly dangerous.
