<snip>
On the eve of John McCain’s scheduled trip to New Orleans, McCain backer John Hagee repeated his belief that Hurricane Katrina was sent by God as punishment for the city’s “sin” of hosting an upcoming gay gathering.

1. What Hagee fails to mention

is that the French Quarter--famous for drinking, debauchery, and general sinning--went largely untouched by Katrina. I'd like to know how he explains that.

you're forgetting the mysterious ways :D

6. Meanwhile, across town, the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary

took about eight feet. Go figure. :shrug:

2. If they are going to try to tie him to McCain like they did to Obama.. not going to work...

This man wasn't his pastor, just a backer.

If I was a murderer and I sent Obama $2,300.00 then you can say "Murder backs Obama".

They could pick apart the entire donor base.

We should be on him about the issues, not stupid crap like this.

3. Except McCain

actively sought his endorsement and has not 'denounced and rejected' his statements.

But Saint McCain gets a free pass from the MSM.

9. Obama didn't seek out endorsement from Farakhan (sp?)

either, but that hasn't stopped people, Hillary for one, from asking him to denounce AND reject his endorsement. McCain should do the same!

4. explode

Shouldn't Hagee explode since he's a glutton? Isn't that a sin?

7. Fallwell did

just give Hagee time.

8. I can't believe that anyone let's these blowhards get away with

this shit. I live in the Northern half of the country, and can't help but notice that the South gets creamed by disaster a whole hell of alot more frequently, so if you follow thier "logic", God must be really pissed at the Southern states quite often, you know, the RED states...
just sayin'
