Election - "Pastor
Hagee: The Antichrist Is Gay, "Partially Jewish, As Was Adolph Hitler"
(Paging Joe Lieberman!)." ... "On March 16, 2003,
on the eve of the United States' invasion of Iraq, [Republican Televangelist]
Pastor John Hagee took to the pulpit to warn of the coming Antichrist.
In his sermon, "The
Final Dictator," Hagee described the Antichrist as a seductive figure
with "fierce features." He will be "a blasphemer and a homosexual," the
pastor announced. Then, Hagee boomed, "There's a phrase in Scripture used
solely to identify the Jewish people. It suggests that this man [the Antichrist]
is at least going to be partially Jewish, as was Adolph Hitler, as was
Karl Marx."" ... "This "fierce" gay Jew, according to Hagee, would "slaughter
one-third of the Earth's population" and "make Adolph Hitler look like
a choirboy."" ... "Exposed here for the first time, Hagee's comments identifying
the Antichrist as a partly Jewish homosexual arrive in the wake of a furor
the pastor provoked by describing the Holocaust as an act of God. Hagee's
chilling sermon
about the Holocaust prompted [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate
and Arizona Senator] Sen. John McCain to reject the preacher's support,
an unexpected turnabout after McCain spent over a year soliciting his endorsement."
... "Days after McCain's rejection, I reported
that a key McCain ally, [Connecticut Independent Senator] Sen. Joseph Lieberman,
planned to deliver the keynote speech at Hagee's upcoming Christians United
For Israel (CUFI) summit. As the story exploded
into the mainstream press, pressure mounted on Lieberman to withdraw."
... "[New York Democratic Representative Eliot] Engel is slated to speak
on CUFI's "Middle East Briefing" panel this July. He will be joined on
the panel by Republican [Indiana Representative] Rep. Mike Pence, Weekly
Standard editor and New York Times columnist [and Fox contributor] Bill
Kristol, and Christian right activist Gary Bauer." -By

Election - "In
Rebuking Minister, McCain May Have Alienated Evangelicals."
... "The [Republican televangelist, Reverend] Rev. Rod Parsley paces the
stage, wiping his forehead and shouting to his congregation in a taped
sermon that marriage is under attack by "tortured and angry homosexuals.""
... "During another of his nationally broadcast television shows, he compares
Planned Parenthood to the Ku Klux Klan, saying that its goal is to "eliminate"
blacks. And at another service at his 12,000-member World Harvest Church
in Columbus, Ohio, he punches the air and calls Islam a "false religion"
that God has told America to destroy." ... ""We were built for battle!
We were created for conflict! We get off on warfare!" he adds."
... "Images of one of the nation's rising stars of television evangelism
are widely available on DVDs and Web sites, with sermons that are almost
certain to inflame some segment of the voting public. But in its quest
to secure support from evangelical Christians, the campaign of presumptive
[2008 Election] Republican presidential nominee John McCain did not note
a long record of inflammatory statements by Parsley and the [Republican
televangelist, Reverend] Rev. John Hagee of Texas, another TV evangelist,
until long after McCain had accepted their endorsements." ... "The move
backfired last week when clips of the ministers' sermons gained national
attention, prompting McCain to reject their support. The candidate's abrupt
turnabout brought criticism not only from secular viewers, who questioned
why he had aligned himself with controversial religious voices, but also
from evangelicals, who said he may have alienated a powerful bloc of potential
Republican voters." ... "In February, McCain appeared with Parsley to accept
his endorsement and called him a "spiritual guide."" ... "He [Parsley]
and his family reside in a 7,462-square-foot house, valued at more than
$1 million, on a 24-acre gated property." ... "In 2005, Parsley created
a voter registration organization called Reformation Ohio, telling Christians
that it was time to "lock and load" and to prepare for a "Holy Ghost invasion"
of government." (1, 2)

Election - "McCain
Backer Hagee Said Hitler Was Fulfilling God's Will (AUDIO)."
... "[Republican televangelist] John Hagee, the controversial evangelical
leader and endorser of [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate
and Arizona Senator] Sen. John McCain, argued in a late 1990s sermon that
the Nazis [Germany] had operated on God's behalf to chase the Jews from
Europe and shepherd them to Palestine. According to the Reverend, Adolph
Hitler was a "hunter," sent by God, who was tasked with expediting God's
will of having the Jews re-establish a state of Israel." ... "Going in
and out of biblical verse, Hagee preached: "'And they the hunters should
hunt them,' that will be the Jews. 'From every mountain and from
every hill and from out of the holes of the rocks.' If that doesn't
describe what Hitler did in the holocaust you can't see that."" ... "He
goes on: "Theodore Herzl is the father of Zionism. He was a Jew who at
the turn of the 19th century said, this land is our land, God wants us
to live there. So he went to the Jews of Europe and said 'I want you to
come and join me in the land of Israel.' So few went that Hertzel went
into depression. Those who came founded Israel; those who did not went
through the hell of the holocaust." ... ""Then god sent a hunter. A hunter
is someone with a gun and he forces you. Hitler was a hunter. And the Bible
says -- Jeremiah writing -- 'They shall hunt them from every mountain
and from every hill and from the holes of the rocks,' meaning there's
no place to hide. And that might be offensive to some people but don't
let your heart be offended. I didn't write it, Jeremiah wrote it. It was
the truth and it is the truth. How did it happen? Because God allowed it
to happen. Why did it happen? Because God said my top priority for the
Jewish people is to get them to come back to the land of Israel." (Listen
to the audio below.)" ... "The sermon, which was first
posted by Bruce Wilson on his site, Talk To Action, adds another element
to Hagee's controversial stance on the state and history of Israel." ...
"Since McCain secured the endorsement, both his campaign and Hagee have
been pressed to explain a series of derogatory remarks the Reverend made
about the Catholic Church, including his reference to the institution as
"the Great Whore."" ... "As Wilson notes, in his 2006 book "Jerusalem Countdown",
Hagee proposed the theory that "anti-Semitism, and thus the Holocaust,
was the fault of Jews themselves -- the result of an age old divine curse
incurred by the ancient Hebrews through worshiping idols and passed, down
the ages, to all Jews now alive." He also wrote that "Most readers will
be shocked by the clear record of history linking Adolf Hitler and the
Roman Catholic Church in a conspiracy to exterminate the Jews.""

days of the Republican primary. Maverick
uprightness cred allows him to get away with begging for endorsements
from extremist religious leaders like John Hagee. "Man
of conviction" cred allows him to get away with transparent flip-flopping
so egregious it would make any other politician a laughingstock. Anti-torture

- "The
difference between Jeremiah Wright and radical, white evangelical ministers."
... "Ross Douthat and Ezra
Klein are arguing about whether Jeremiah Wright's statements are comparable
to those of Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and John Hagee's." ... "The statement
of Wright's which seems to be causing the most upset -- and it's one of
two singled out by Douthat -- is his suggestion that there is a causal
link between (a) America's constant bombings of and other interference
with Middle Eastern countries and (b) the willingness of some Middle Eastern
fanatics to attack the U.S. [United States] Ever since the 9/11 attacks,
we've been told that positing any such causal connection is a sign of vicious
anti-Americanism and that all decent people find such questions despicable.
This week we learned that no respectable person would subject his children
to a pastor who espouses such hateful ideas." ... "But the idea that America
deserves terrorist attacks and other horrendous disasters has long been
a frequently expressed view among the faction of white evangelical ministers
to whom the Republican Party is most inextricably linked. Neither Jerry
Falwell nor Pat Robertson ever retracted or denounced their view that America
provoked the 9/11 attacks by doing things to anger God. John Hagee continues
to believe that the City of New Orleans [Louisiana] got what it deserved
when Katrina drowned its residents and devastated the lives of thousands
of Americans. And [Oklahoma Republican Senator] James Inhofe -- who
happens to still be a Republican U.S. Senator -- blamed
America for the 9/11 attacks by arguing in a 2002 Senate floor speech
that "the spiritual door was opened for an attack against the United States
of America" because we pressured Israel to give away parts of the West
Bank." ... "John Hagee privately
visits with the highest level Middle East officials in the [Republican
President Bush] White House and afterwards pronounces that they're in agreement.
[2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] John McCain shares a
stage with Hagee and lavishes him with praise, as Rudy Giuliani did with
Pat Robertson. James Inhofe remains a member in good standing in the GOP
[GOP=Grand Old Party=Republican] Senate Caucus. The Republican Party has
tied itself at the hip to a whole slew of "anti-American extremists" --
people who believe that the U.S. provoked the 9/11 attacks because God
wants to punish us for the evil, wicked nation we've become -- and yet
there is virtual silence about these associations." ... "Nor have the views
of televangelist Rod Parsley, one of McCain's self-proclaimed "spiritual
advisers," received a fraction of the attention generated by Wright. As
both David
Corn and Alan
Colmes, among others, have documented, Parsley espouses views at least
as extreme and radical as Wright, including his proclamation that "America
was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion
[Islam] destroyed." Unlike Wright and Obama -- for whom the former's
controversial views are found nowhere near the latter's public or private
conduct -- both George Bush and John McCain's Middle Eastern militarism
are perfectly consonant with the most maniacal and crazed views of Christian
Rapture enthusiasts such as Hagee, Parsley, Inhofe, and Robertson. Yet
the controversy created over their close ties is virtually non-existent."
... "The Republican Party long ago adopted as a central strategy aligning
itself with, and granting great influence to, the most radical, "America-hating"
white evangelical Christian ministers in the country."

"And, in truth, some associations are more meaningful than others. [2008
Election Democratic Presidential Candidate] Barack Obama's close friendship
with, his intellectual debt to, and the spiritual advice he's gotten from
[Reverend] Rev. Jeremiah Wright almost pre-books that 60 Minutes interview
you know he'll do in the fall explaining it." ... "But [2008 Election Republican
Presidential Candidate] John McCain needs be careful." ... "As J-Mart notes
this morning, McCain's campaign included Ron Kessler's WSJ op-ed in its
clips, which implies that they believe reporters should make a note of
it." ... "Well, now McCain is part of that discussion. And it's a dangerous
place for him to be, what with [Reverend] Rev. John Hagee's anti-gay remarks
(curiously unremarked upon by anyone in the McCain campaign -- is the McCain
campaign afraid to repudiate anti-gay remarks?), his anti-Catholic remarks
(once condemned by McCain, but now McCain wants to give Hagee the benefit
of the doubt)?, his millennialism (which means, as some honest McCain adviser
must have explained to the candidate by now, the death of millions of innocent
Muslims)... also: Jerry Falwell, and his casual association of 9/11 with
the sins of homosexuality, and Rod Parsley, a man who McCain has called
a "spiritual guide," a man who has also called Islam a "false religion"
and has advocated war against it and various other bad things." ... "Why

Election - "McCain
Courts Secret Radical Religious Conservative Group For Support In Presidential
Bid." ... "Last month, hard-line conservative Pastor
John Hagee, founder of Christians
United for Israel, announced his
support for [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate and Arizona
Senator] Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ [Republican-Arizona]) candidacy for president.
Despite Hagee’s numerous bigoted
remarks — including his claim that the Catholic church is “the Great
Whore” and a “false cult system” — McCain said that he was “very
honored” by the endorsement." ... "McCain is continuing his tradition
of courting the bigoted right-wing fringe. This afternoon, McCain addressed
the Council for National Policy (CNP) in New Orleans in a “make-or-break
pitch” for support from the secretive, ultra-conservative group that describes
itself as a “self-selected, conservative counterweight” against “liberal
domination of the American agenda.” McCain advisor Charlie Black said McCain
“was anxious to appear” in front of the group." ... "CNP was
founded in 1981 by [Reverend] Rev. Tim LaHaye, “an early Christian
conservative organizer and the best-selling author of the ‘Left Behind’
novels about an apocalyptic Second Coming,” and fellow Christian conservative
Paul Weyrich. Like Hagee, the group and its members have at times expressed
and encouraged radical and intolerant views:"
"–
LeHaye once said
that Catholicism is a “false religion” and called popes “antichrists.”"
... "– Weyrich has
claimed that CNP is a group of “radicals working to overturn the
present power structure in this country.”" ... "– A speaker received
a standing ovation at one CNP meeting when he suggested that AIDS
was a sign from God that homosexuality was an “abomination.”"
"Because
the group is shrouded in
secrecy, its official roster is unknown. However, in 1998, the Institute
for First Amendment Studies obtained a CNP member
list, which contained many right-wing Christian leaders who have a
history of extremist remarks, including Pat
Roberton, James
Dobson and the late Jerry
Falwell." ... "McCain is no stranger to pandering to the extreme religious
right when it suits his political needs. In a 2000 speech,
he referred to Falwell and Robertson as “agents of intolerance.” Yet he
repudiated
that remark in 2006 and later delivered
a commencement address at Falwell’s Liberty University."
