McCain Distances Himself From Hagee
Ever since Rev. Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright became inconvenient for the Obama campaign desperate liberals have been trying to hang Hagee around McCain’s neck. The problem, of course, is that while Obama has attended Wright’s church for the last two decades and has said that he could no more disown Wright than his own grandmother McCain hasn’t attended Hagee’s church in 20 years.
I don’t think the true extent of the hurt Wright has done to Obama will be known until we’re well into the general election and voters who aren’t inclined to pay attention to primary battles get serious about figuring out who Obama is, so it’s not surprising that the left would try to find an antidote for Wright in Hagee.
But Hagee wasn’t McCain’s mentor. Hagee didn’t marry McCain and his wife. Hagee wasn’t a part of McCain’s campaign. McCain didn’t name books after Hagee’s sermons. McCain didn’t use Hagee as a “sounding board.” Wright and Obama were all of those things to each other, and that’s why Wright matters and Hagee doesn’t.
