There is HUGE difference between Hagee and Wright. McCain is not a friend of Hagee, he did not seak Hagee out for spiritual counseling, he did not marry McCain to his wife, he did not baptize his children. Obama said Wright was as ingrained with him as his own Grandmother and his skin color.
To link the two is stupid.

So somehow Obama is responsible for Wright's words, yet McCain is not responsible for racist slurs he uttered himself (as I posted above)?
Somehow Obama is responsible for a pastor's words, yet McCain is not responsible for bigoted remarks uttered by Christian pastors whose endorsements he accepts?
Somehow Obama is responsible for a pastor's words, yet McCain is not responsible for the words of his campaign manager Richard Quinn who called Nelson Mandela a terrorist, claimed Martin Luther King was a man "whose role in history was to lead his people into a perpetual dependence on the welfare state, a terrible bondage of body and soul," and advocated the election of the "maverick" KKK leader David Duke? Isn't it interesting that Richard Quinn described David Duke as a "maverick," in the same way he has packaged McCain to be a "maverick" senator?
Spare me your partisan double standard and false outrage.

DROP:
"Right, and if "rural America" happens to be 85-90% White, just a coincidence."
Exactly. You can't produce a quote of Obama saying the words "pesky white rednecks" because NO SUCH QUOTE EXISTS. Meanwhile, McCain has been DIRECTLY QUOTED uttering racist slurs.
Your double standards would be laughable if they weren't so outrageously racist.

Hey drop- 2 of the 3 last pastors at my church are staunch republicans - I disagree entirely and completely with what they say on politics, but they did their job ok, and they did some good work in the community, I bit my tongue when they talked about anything political. (partisan politics has NO business in a church- I believe any church mixing itself in politics should lose tax exempt status immediately.)However I did not walk out one of them baptized my kids. Gee I had no idea the guy spoke for me or that I should have walked out.
Live and learn eh?

Yeah, you should attend a church where the sermons contain edyifying content. If your pastors were Republicans, I'm sure that was the case. Churches will take positions on political issues that have moral implications. It's the endorsement of candidates that is illegal.

Shouldn't I have walked out though? Cause you say these guys speak for everyone in their faith. Are you prepared to say Catholics are all pedophiles too? Shouldn't anyone opposed to pedophilia have denounced their faith and stopped attending their church because of the actual crimes committed, aided and abetted, then covered up by that church's U.S. leaders? I mean by your logic the minister speaks for all the people whether they are present to hear them or not. How about acts? They speak louder than words. Certainly the priests bosses- bishops etc. who protected and nurtured the pedophiles providing them with fertile new victims at every juncture speak even more for everyone in their churches than the mere priests. (sarcasm off)
You know your claim is disingenuous as well as I.

I'm talking about one pastor being held responsible as an individual. If you were a Catholic attending a church where you had reason to believe that the priest was a pedophile, by all means attend another parish. You can always attend another church in your denomination if you diapprove of the pastor's message.

Just as it is stupid to link a highly selective sound byte to the life work of a veteran, minister, and observer of political policy.
Just as it is stoopid to downplay the motives of a candidate such as John McCain for his ACTIVE, EARNEST appeal to John Hagee, knowing full well his beliefe that Catholics are W hores ... every last one of 45 Million Americans.
See? Stupid is as stupid does.

what`s that noise?
Oh that`s the sound of a Republican trying to move the goal posts.
lmao.
McCain sought out Hagee`s support for a year, chased after it even after he called the Pope the great ******.
Obama`s denouncement and distancing from Wright is not even in the same neighborhood as McCains racist comments and chasing after bigots for support.
