McCain actively solicited the sup****t John Hagee, a conservative 
minister who has been quoted as calling the Catholic Church "the Great 
Whore", and who blamed the Hurricane Katrina's damage to New Orleans on 
sin and a scheduled "homo***ual parade". Even after McCain was made 
aware of Hagee's statements, he rejected what Hagee's words but still 
said that he was "honored" and "pleased" by Hagee's endorsement.

The mainstream media has hardly mentioned this. It's true that Hagee is 
not McCain's pastor, but I think it still shows a disparity in the way 
the candidates are treated. 

If a black radical such as Louis Farrakhan says something positive about 
Barak Obama, he is badgered to totally disassociate himself from the 
man, even there was never any association to begin with. In other words, 
guilt until proven innocent.

McCain can pander to white radical ministers such as Hagee, and can get 
away with just saying that he disagrees with some of the things the man 
says without rejecting the endorsement.
