It sure took McCain long enough to reject this far right cult leader's remarks, and this was not even McCain's pastor. McCain finally decided he couldn't have it both ways, as Sen. Obama had already decided about Wright.
McCain Finally Rejects Hagee Backing as Nazi Remarks Surface - The Caucus - Politics - New York Time
SAN JOSE—Senator John McCain rejected the endorsement on Thursday of the evangelical leader, the Rev. John C. Hagee, three stormy months after it was first announced as part of an effort to shore up Mr. McCain’s standing among Christian conservatives.
The Rev. John C. Hagee (Photo: Béatrice de Géa for The New York Times) The rejection of Mr. Hagee’s endorsement occurred after another controversial sermon from the televangelist and pastor of Cornerstone, a mega-church in San Antonio, surfaced in which he argued that biblical verses made clear that Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust was part of God’s plan to chase the Jews from Europe and drive them to Palestine.

somewhere along the way the Straight Talk Express lost some wheels....
McCain now embraces many of the failed Bush policies that he once opposed. He has become just another flip-flopper who sticks his finger in the air to find the way the political wind is blowing.
Apparently McCain was fine with Hagee's known remarks against Catholics, but when Hagee's remarks against the Jews surfaced, that was one extreme remark too many.
The GOP slime machine will of course use Wright as part of a smokescreen to obfuscate the positions that McCain has that run counter to public opinion: extending the millionaire tax break, more years of war in Iraq, no healthcare policy, etc.
They are still running that email campaign that Obama is Moslem. Obama is a member of the same Christian denomination as I am, the United Church of Christ. I spam email back anyone who dares to send me that crap. The Constitution says there is no religious test for public office. Of course, the neo-cons have made short work of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
We must reclaim Constitutional government and not have four more years of the Republicans in power.
