Dog, first off calm down. Your guy is going to get elected. I don't see anyway for McCain to win. That said, I do want to point out this statement that you made: "We see as few words as possible about Rev Hagee and John McCain, who'll chum up with anyone to increase his voter base. We hear only quick dismissive cackles from right-wing propagandists posing as newscasters as they bury McCain's obvious intellectual deficiencies... but no shortness in the persecution of Obama and his white grand-momma! Words Matter."

Recognize a major difference in that McCain does not attend and never has been a member of John Hagee's Cornerstone Church. In fact, McCain is an Episcopalian, a very liberal denomination. Second, I used to be a member of a United Church of Christ church. Trust me, as far back as the early 90's Rev. Wright was known as at the least being very controversial. Everyone says that the media has snipped parts of his sermons to discredit him. Yet, no one has produced anything from his body of work that makes the point that the man was taken out of context.

You have to understand though that MCain is a typical white politician who, when confronted by a gang of media savvy reporters, gets nervous and scared. It is simply part of the typical white politician experience.

obama has little history and we're a nation of TV drama freaks who need to find the dirt thats on every tv show today....

even if we gotta take writers privileges....

but McCain- he ain't no average white dude... his history's got enough skeletons for ALL the candidates... from his Banking Scandals in the 70s all the way to his "lapses" of important facts today.

You are right though... these days that kind of background is the norm, not the exception with white politicians 8^)

I'm not at all certain McCain is out, with the type of propaganda campaign being rolled out these days, and the obvious inability for the general public to question anything coming from the talking heads... it wouldn't surprise me. But I am worried Hillary will win the nomination cuz she's too easy a target. To me shes like a lieberman... wolf in sheep's clothes.

They all suck... my choices were eliminated by Corporate Media months ago.

As for McCain and Hagee, again, words matter... listen to what he said when sucking up to Hagee.

Explain this:

"The United States must join Israel in a pre-emptive military strike against Iran to fulfill God's plan for both Israel and the West... a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation with Iran, which will lead to the Rapture, Tribulation, and Second Coming of Christ."

John Hagee

whats all this- "you have to understand..." talk Bash? You think its an okay excuse for defending a feeble-minded suck-up like McCain.... but not to defend a smart articulate progressive like Obama- eh?

You have to understand... that by telling us WE have to understand... a white racist rapture-loving, brainwashing, prosperity-gospel charlatan, but that we shouldn't trust, or attempt to comprehend the context of a preacher who speaks through the lens of an oppressed minority society??? understand indeed!

careful, as much as I know you don't mean it, and can give me dozens of examples to prove me wrong, your prejudice is really showing here.

I say arrest Hagee and his ilk for confidence theft, false advertising and hate mongering. Wright... as much as I've seen, is not telling us to start wars, assassinate heads of state, desecrate the planet and enrich our hearts with greed... but yet you defend the con-man.

interesting.

But that doesn't really excuse you or anyone from attempting to comprehend Rev. Hagee's ministry, the same as liberal say we are enjoined to comprehend the hate preaching of Rev. Wright. Hagee's specialty is eschatology, that is, the study of end time prophecy. It infuses all of his sermonizing and ministry. Much as hating white people infuses Rev. Wright's ministry. Hagee, being charismatic (in regards to branch of Christianity--not personality) speaks with the unction of the Lord just as Wright claims to do.

But it is very interesting that the same folks who want to cut Wright a ton of leeway will jump at and attack Hagee and cut him not an inch of leeway or even attempt to understand the man. I've known of Rev. Wright for at least 15 years if not longer. I've been aware of his preaching "style". I've seen him interviewed on TV and based upon all of that I can truly say from the bottom of my heart that the man is racist as the day is long.
