John Hagee, the controversial evangelical leader and endorser of Sen. John McCain, argued in a late 1990s sermon that the Nazis had operated on God's behalf to chase the Jews from Europe and shepherd them to Palestine. According to the Reverend, Adolph Hitler was a "hunter," sent by God, who was tasked with expediting God's will of having the Jews re-establish a state of Israel.But his interpretation of the role of the Nazis could be harder to dismiss, in part because McCain and Sen. Barack Obama are expected to compete heavily over the Jewish vote come the general election, in part because McCain has said he admires Hagee's commitment to Israel
As Wilson notes, in his 2006 book "Jerusalem Countdown", Hagee proposed the theory that "anti-Semitism, and thus the Holocaust, was the fault of Jews themselves -- the result of an age old divine curse incurred by the ancient Hebrews through worshiping idols and passed, down the ages, to all Jews now alive." He also wrote that "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."
TPJ: So far the MSM (mainstream media) hasn't hit this issue nearly as hard as they did with Obama and Rev. Wright. This pokes the soft underbelly of the real reason that many Christians support Israel, so that Armagedon can occur which will just so happen to wipe out many Jews.
Concerned Jews:
TPJ: So these recent comments that have emerged by Pastor Hagee must be condemned by McCain who is supposedly a strong supporter of Israel. But condemning these comments isn't good enough, he must denounce Hagee and no longer say that he is "glad to have" the endorsement of the controversial Pastor just as Obama did with Wright. McCain must be held to the same standard.cite a verse from Revelations claiming that Jesus will return only after two-thirds of the Jews are killed and the rest are converted to Christianity. "They are not supporting us out of love," says one opponent, Rabbi Shalom Dov Lifshitz from the anti-missionary group Yad La'achim, "but because they believe that if we convert out of Judaism to Christianity, it will bring on the Apocalypse." And that, he says, is "a danger to the people of Israel."

Perhaps McCain is against diplomacy with Israel's enemies because doing so might prevent those states from attacking Israel and thus blocking and stalling Armageddon. You never know especially with his connection with this Hagee nut. It is up to McCain to prove me wrong.
Speaking of appeasement, here is John McCain supporting this kook when before he condemned such people as "agents of intolerance!!
We need to pound the network news channels to report on this even a fraction of the amount of time they devoted to covering the wright statements.
Meanwhile, Clinton is saying the Florida/Michigan voting issue is like that of what is going on in Zimbabwe where there is out right vote rigging and violent oppression of anyone questioning such an act. This is going way, WAY beyond the pale by Clinton, this Florida/Michigan issue will be settled and those delegates will be seated. Hillary is basically threatening to blow up the Dem's chance to win in November if she doesn't get her way. She's holding the party for ransom.

Interesting how Hagee's comments get ignored with the Rev. Wright's get played over and over again. Race is certainly a factor.
And I do think Hillary, bless her heart, has gone over the edge. Chelsea need to slap her good and hard!
I see he flip-flopped on this. Which is good, but I have to laugh at the right-wing talking heads that are trying to say that this completely different than the Wright situation... What a bunch of douche bags!
