As this <A HREF="http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/02/29/politics/horserace/entry3892932.shtml" REL="nofollow">CBS article </A> states, Obama got a roasting over his endorsement from Louis Farrakhan, yet McCain has got off lightly when endorsed by Christian nutter and pro-Zionist John Hagee.<BR/><BR/><I>"He [Hagee] has also denounced the Roman Catholic Church as "the great whore of Babylon" and "a cult." He blames it for the Holocaust and predicts its imminent demise.<BR/><BR/>"This is the apostate church," Hagee said. " … this false religious system is going to be totally devoured by the anti-Christ.""</I><BR/><BR/>McCain's response was not a rejection of Hagee. He only said he disagreed with some statements but didn't even specify the one quoted above.<BR/><BR/>McCain is anti-Catholic?Seánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105226003936491432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-27105826684682644392008-02-19T16:05:00.000+13:002008-02-19T16:05:00.000+13:00I suspect the thing people most tantalising about ...I suspect the thing people most tantalising about him at the moment is the possibility that he may change the face of the Democrat party in America forever. The Democrats, like Labour here, have always portrayed themselves as caring for the underdog and coloured people. Nothing could be further from the truth, and now that a coloured man has a very real chance to be their representative, some in the Democrat senior leadership are not impressed. <BR/><BR/>I mean after all, they don't want to end up eating fried chicken at the Hanover Club...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-73187339758150256782008-02-19T15:50:00.000+13:002008-02-19T15:50:00.000+13:00I've listened to the man, and then read his actual...I've listened to the man, and then read his actual words, and he's hollow. He's like Rowan Atkinson's take off of an Anglican priest.. you can't understand the words but there's no mistaking the preachy style coupled with the upper class accent.<BR/><BR/>As I've written somewhere else, Obama elevates to a Martin Luther King sound of "I have a dream!".<BR/>Now, those words have reverberated for decades, but I doubt whether most people can remember much more than that.. and they don't need to because most have a rough idea of what it was about and then couple them with some of the ringing comments of JFK. It all seems to hark bark to an era of great men, of whom Obama is the heir apparent.<BR/><BR/>But there's also a feel of the tragi-comic here. He's far to the left of any previous president and has no chance at all of implementing much of what little he actually says.. but he has a good chance of being near deified like JFK and King by being assassinated . He must be a nightmare for the security services.<BR/><BR/>There's a reason why seeming grey men/women are the leaders now.. the world is too interconnected to allow messianic figures to run loose.<BR/><BR/>JCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
