Obama, Farrakhan Share Cover Of Wright's Monthly

[Herb Schaffler]

Will McCain disown Hagee like Obama had to disown Wright?

From an Obama blogger:

Basically, the jist of this is that Hagee thinks God sent Hitler to punish the Jews for their disobedience in not going to Israel earlier and that the only way to teach them to do so was Hitler & the holocaust.

So basically, he's saying that the systematic slaughter of 6 million innocent people was an act of god!?!?!?
I don't know what to say to that that just defies decency. I am outraged at such comments. And disgusted at the McCain double standard.

Now you're quoting bloggers for Obama? What happened, lightening strike your tin-foil Ron Paul topper?

No Herb, he's saying the systematic slaughter of 6 million innocent people was an act of God!.!.!.!
God has been systematically thumping and punishing the Jews for their disobedience since before the book was written. Look at Sodom and Gomorrah. No wait! Don't! Lot's wife did that and hasn't been the same since.

Why do you find it outrageous for Hagee to hypothesize about the meaning of the holocaust. Guys like Louis Farrakhan and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad insist that the holocaust never happened and want to annihilate the Jews, yet it doesn't bother you in the least that Barack Obama has probably spoken to the former and is willing to play footsies with the latter. You're all over the place on this one Herb.

By the way, being an atheist, why are you even bothered by the rantings of phony religious leaders who follow the teachings of a non-existent entity. I would think this would all be so Tolkienesque to you.

My point was that if Obama should disown Wright, then McCain should disown Hagee as they both eventually did. I'm very strongly opposed to double standards and this is what I've seen with the Republicans criticizing Obama for not disowning Wright when they were perfectly willing to accept McCain's acceptance of Hagee's endorsement.
