Republican presidential nominee John McCain is "proud" and "honored" to have received the endorsement of Reverend John Hagee who claimed that Hurricane Katrina was God's judgement against homosexuality.
All hurricanes are acts of God, because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they are -- were recipients of the judgment of God for that. The newspaper carried the story in our local area that was not carried nationally that there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came. And the promise of that parade was that it was going to reach a level of sexuality never demonstrated before in any of the other Gay Pride parades. So I believe that the judgment of God is a very real thing. I know that there are people who demur from that, but I believe that the Bible teaches that when you violate the law of God, that God brings punishment sometimes before the day of judgment. And I believe that the Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.
McCain wasn't just proud to receive Hagee's endorsement, McCain actively sought the endorsement of anti-gay Hagee.
In an interview that will appear in this Sunday's New York Times Magazine, controversial televangelist Rev. John Hagee declares, "It's true that [John] McCain's campaign sought my endorsement."
And John Hagee hates more than just the gays. Hagee had this to say about women:
Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick. Do you know the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS? You can negotiate with a terrorist.
And this to say about the Catholic Church:
Most readers will be shocked by the clear record of history linking Adolf Hitler and the Roman Catholic Church in a conspiracy to exterminate the Jews.
Hagee ain't afraid to tell us how he really feels.
Now it is time for John McCain to do the same. Does John McCain believe that Hurricane Katrina was God's judgement against homosexuality and that the Catholic Church is "a false cult system?"
Let's hope that the traditional media gets over its love affair with the "straight talking" McCain to find out.

This guy?
"Hagee and Martha divorced on grounds of Pastor Hagee's infidelity[citation needed] in September 1975, and Hagee married Diana on April 12, 1976.[2]. Due to the bylaws of his Assemblies of God denomination, Hagee could no longer be ordained or licensed within.[citation needed] He was defrocked[citation needed], but sued the denomination for millions of dollars due to defamation of character."

Infidelity, sundering what God has brought together and sueing a church for following their beleifs? I think he should make sure his storm cellar is well stocked.

If McCain truly sought the endorsement of this hate-monger, he certainly deserves it. If. And if the majority of the American people want to believe in this kind of perverse rationality, they will deserve whomever Hagee endorses.
Personally, in spite of all the hate filled rhetoric, I have faith that the American people are better than that. I have no proof, mind you, but for my own piece of mind I must believe it.

I am with Serena on this, that doberman joke is a riot.
T.T.H. Typical Texas Humor, PMS, dead baby jokes, aggie jokes, it is all part of what we call funny down this way.
How many aggies does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Five, one to hold the bulb and four to turn the ladder.
What is red and white and goes round and round?
Dead baby in a blender.
Yeah, its sick, but so is our society.

Actually, I tend to agree with him on the whole Hitler and the Catholic Chuch statement.
The Pope was notoriously silent about the Holocaust - never condemning it further than to give 3000 Jews who had converted to Catholicism visas so they could flee to Brazil. However, 2/3 of those were revoked for "improper conduct" when the Jews went back to practicing Judaism. What happened to them? They were sent back to Germany to die in the camps.
At no other point did the Catholic Church step in to stop the genocide of the Jews. Instead they claimed nuetrality. After all, it wasn't Catholics being killed - they'd already worked out a diplomatic deal authorizing the Church to practice their religion in exchange for staying out of politics in Germany.
I know we have the rule about long comments, but I do want to put out these facts before closing and since someone else already listed them... *grins*
That sounds like "a conspiracy to exterminate the Jews" to me.
