Editor and Publisher reports that this Sunday's New York Times magazine will report:
In an interview... controversial televangelist Rev. John Hagee declares, "It's true that McCain's campaign sought my endorsement."
McCain has attempted to distance himself from some of Hagee's views, much as Barack Obama is doing in relation to Rev. Jeremiah Wright. But unlike McCain, Obama has not stood on stage with Wright and accepted his accolades this year.

That's fine as far as it goes. More to the point about the origins of this controversy, Obama did not court and did not accept the endorsement of Louis Farrakhan, while McCain -- as we reported here at Talk to Action, courted Hagee for at least a year; received and touted his endorsement; and has not renounced it even as he has denounced Hagee's views on certain things in general terms.
