McCain Rejects Hagee Backing as Nazi Remarks Surface

By Michael Luo

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 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.

“Obviously, I find these remarks and others deeply offensive and indefensible,” Mr. McCain said in a statement Thursday. “I did not know of them before Reverend Hagee’s endorsement, and I feel I must reject his endorsement as well.”

They publish crap without truth and twist things to sell paper. Hey, head lines are big sellers on the subway and streets of Manhattan.

Have to compete with NY Post on headlines.

and hoping that will make the issue go away.

Good luck, buddy.

Why should the issue go away it does not hurt MAC only the idiots in the MSM think that , cause if you bring Hagee or the other nut preacher up guess what  Wright is front and center again

the fact that the NYT is shitty peice of rag that I wouldn't wipe my butt with.  It will be more and more irrelevant as time goes on...

Wright not the biggest worry for Obama, it's his wife who is the bigger liability. But not to worry, Obama has asked me to take her out hunting with me.  That should take care of her.
