Wake up, its time to stop dreaming now.

The untruthful posts about this have already been exposed.

And if, IF they were his pastors, at least he was a man about it unlike to other chump who still hasnt done it yet.

Prove either of these two were his pastor and I will apoligize.

They were not his pastors, but he did court their favor and endorsements and called them great American leaders, etc. The thing that is very telling is that when the hate filled speech was against Catholics, there was little outcry, when the hate filled speech was against gays, there was littel outcry, but when the spectre of the holocaust was raised, the whole house of cards fell.

Even though I am a liberal, I have to agree with Sunshine on this one. McCain is running a smart campaign and will be hard to beat in November.

McCain has called Rev Parsley, “one of the truly great leaders in America, a moral compass, a spiritual guide.†McCain only distanced him from Hagee and Parsley when the outcry became too great, before then he was perfectly happy currying favor from his favorite neo nazi pastors.

I didn't see anyone saying they were mcCain's pastors....so that red herring won't work


But from the OP link:




"""McCain actively courted Hagee, who leads a megachurch with a congregation in the tens of thousands and has an even wider television audience. Former GOP presidential rivals also sought Hagee's backing. """

"Forced"? Yes he denounced them but do you have any kind of proof he was forced?

If you mean was he physically forced, of course not. However, considering Hagee and his Hitler comments were all over the news yesterday, he was forced by a little thing called political expediency. The title of the thread is most appropriate.

That's still different from being forced. Yes, it was the smart thing to do in all ways for all reasons but it still was his choice to do it. No coercion that can be proved.

Again, another conservative that has no clue what the term "forced" in political arena means. I'll be happy to define this for you.

Forced in political terms means "having no choice" not being choked down your throat
