We spend ALL day on Wright and not even half a day on McCain's evangelicals

[oviedodem]

This is what "progressives" have come to. Our candidate who has spoken about how his pastor has said inappropriate things gets raked through the mud by fellow democrats and yet not one shred of energy is spent attacking McCain on not even saying a peep about his PUBLIC ENDORSING pastors. Now granted it is a story just like Ferraro, however, I have not seen ANY vigor like this towards McCain on this or any of his issues.

This is why we are going to lose in Nov. If it is not one thing it is the next with this primary season and our candidates. We are like cannibals here eating each other alive and completely missing the proper point; BEATING THE REPUBLICANS IN NOV!!

Now, as an Obama supporter, I am not going to sit here and he is without fault. Right now I would prefer if he was out there pro-actively getting on McCain and getting out his message. I would be delighted if both candidates would do that instead of needling each other. If I were Obama I would issue a moratorium on speaking from any of his surrogates DIRECTLY involved with his campaign and put each and every one of them on notice that if they say anything out of line they are gone (he probably has).

Lastly, I hope we are all seeing how "guilt by association" is playing out here with ALL candidates especially Hillary and Obama. It is really not fair and we have to see through that no matter what the repukes do.

1. The Dems KNOW about the Winger Christians ... the Wright postings are either Hillbots or trolls

[karmicglee]

2. There are no breaking news today about McCain/Hagee

That is why. McCain/Hagee, of course, necessitates as much coverage as Obama/Wright. But today, March 13th, never-seen videos of Wright have surfaced, and they have naturally been spoken about a lot.

3. Olbermann is talking about yet another nut-job endorsement with

no retraction. These are the things we need to be calling people out on.

6. Probably next week will be devoted to the "unseen Hagee" sermons...it seems

to be the way it works with the McCorporate Media.

5. KO was talking about Rod Parsley:

McCain's Spiritual Guide: Destroy Islam
WASHINGTON DISPATCH: Televangelist Rod Parsley, a key McCain ally in Ohio, has called for eradicating the "false religion." Will the GOP presidential candidate renounce him?

By David Corn
March 12, 2008

Senator John McCain hailed as a spiritual adviser an Ohio megachurch pastor who has called upon Christians to wage a "war" against the "false religion" of Islam with the aim of destroying it.

On February 26, McCain appeared at a campaign rally in Cincinnati with the Reverend Rod Parsley of the World Harvest Church of Columbus, a supersize Pentecostal institution that features a 5,200-seat sanctuary, a television studio (where Parsley tapes a weekly show), and a 122,000-square-foot Ministry Activity Center. That day, a week before the Ohio primary, Parsley praised the Republican presidential front-runner as a "strong, true, consistent conservative." The endorsement was important for McCain, who at the time was trying to put an end to the lingering challenge from former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, a favorite among Christian evangelicals. A politically influential figure in Ohio, Parsley could also play a key role in McCain's effort to win this bellwether state in the general election. McCain, with Parsley by his side at the Cincinnati rally, called the evangelical minister a "spiritual guide."

The leader of a 12,000-member congregation, Parsley has written several books outlining his fundamentalist religious outlook, including the 2005 Silent No More. In this work, Parsley decries the "spiritual desperation" of the United States, and he blasts away at the usual suspects: activist judges, civil libertarians who advocate the separation of church and state, the homosexual "culture" ("homosexuals are anything but happy and carefree"), the "abortion industry," and the crass and profane entertainment industry. And Parsley targets another profound threat to the United States: the religion of Islam.
