Bigoted crazy (l.) and soulless grasper
-McCain scores coveted "insane people" vote-
Well, part of it anyway. John McCain says he's "very honored" by the endorsement of end-times nutbag John Hagee, who McCain says "does not stand boldly on both sides of any issue."
True enough. Hagee stands as far to the right on any issue as he possibly can. This is a man who believes that "The United States must join Israel in a pre-emptive military strike against Iran to fulfill God’s plan for both Israel and the West… a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation with Iran, which will lead to the Rapture, Tribulation, and Second Coming of Christ." Cue the cuckoo clock noises.
Other right wing crazies aren't so happy with Hagee, however. According to the report, "McCain’s acceptance of Hagee’s endorsement was condemned today by conservative William Donohue, president of the Catholic League. Calling Hagee a 'bigot,' Donahue said the right-wing pastor has waged 'an unrelenting war against the Catholic Church' by 'calling it "The Great Whore," an "apostate church," the "anti-Christ," and a "false cult system'" -- whew!
Meanwhile, Obama has to both reject and denounce Louis Farrakhan. Of course, Obama never sought Farrakhan's support, while McCain's been kissing Hagee's butt for some time.
Don't hold your breath waiting for anyone to ask McCain to answer for Hagee's bigotry and lunacy. That'd be consistent. The mainstream media doesn't do consistent. (Think Progress)

-Speaking of crazies...-
WorldNetDaily contributor Jane Chastain (who must curse her lot daily for looking like Jane Fonda) tells us, "Don't buy the cookies!"
Ack! Which cookies? What's wrong with them? Are they mooslim terr'ist poison cookies?
Worse, they're feminist cookies! And the America-haters spreading them to the unsuspecting public are innocent-looking Girl Scouts.
"[B]uying that box of cookies now presents a moral dilemma, as the Girl Scouts have become a training ground for the left-wing feminist agenda," Chastain warns. Add Girl Scout cookies to the list of things that are destroying America. What, with their little beret's -- I'll bet they're really French.
According to the scouts' website, "Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place." Damn those little feminazi cookie-pushers! (WorldNetDaily.com, via Right Wing Watch)
