Well, I’ll give credit where credit is due.
John McCain threw John Hagee under the bus where he belongs:
(CNN) — In the face of mounting controversy over headline-grabbing statements from Pastor John Hagee, CNN has learned presumptive Republican nominee John McCain has decided to reject his endorsement.
The Huffington Post had published a recording of Hagee saying that Adolf Hitler had been fulfilling God’s will by hastening the desire of Jews to return to Israel in accordance with biblical prophecy.
“Obviously, I find these remarks and others deeply offensive and indefensible, and I repudiate them. I did not know of them before Reverend Hagee’s endorsement, and I feel I must reject his endorsement as well,” McCain said in a statement to CNN Thursday.
It needed to be done, and it was. What I’ve got to wonder is why McCain’s staffers didn’t spend some time running a Google search on this windbag before seeking his endorsement.
