McCain ‘Very Honored’ By Support Of Pastor Preaching ‘End-Time Confrontation With Iran’
McCain ‘Very Honored’ By Support Of Pastor Preaching ‘End-Time Confrontation With Iran’
Yesterday, hard-line conservative Pastor John Hagee, founder of Christians United for Israel, endorsed John McCain. Hagee said that McCain “is a man of principle, [who] does not stand boldly on both sides of any issue.” McCain, who had been courting the endorsement for over a year, said that he was “very honored by Pastor John Hagee’s endorsement.”
Demonstrating how wildly out of the American religious and political mainstream Hagee’s views are, 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.’”
Hagee holds many other radical beliefs. In a 2006 address to CUFI, Hagee declared:
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.
Speaking to the 2007 AIPAC conference, Hagee compared supporters of a two-state solution in the Middle East to Nazis. Hagee also echoed right-wing Israeli politician Binyamin Netanyahu, telling the audience that “Iran is Germany and Ahmadinejad is the new Hitler.”
Paging Tim Russert: Someone should ask John McCain if, unlike Hagee, he supports a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, and whether he believes that a military strike against Iran would “fulfill God’s plan for…a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation” as Hagee does.
UPDATE: Faith in Public Life has more.
UPDATE II: Hagee’s tv show, “John Hagee Today,” is also broadcast on Cornerstone Television. In 1999, McCain wrote to the FCC on behalf of campaign contributor Lowell “Bud” Paxson, urging a deal that would have made $17.5 million for Cornerstone.

Hagee said that McCain “is a man of principle, [who] does not stand boldly on both sides of any issue.â€
Right, he just stands boldly on one side, and then the other, and then back again….
February 28th, 2008 at 4:08 pmIf McCain is elected, it WILL be the “End Time”…he’ll start World War 3.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:11 pmHagee is a loose cannon not unlike the whole PNAC bunch. I can see why he would be supporting McCain — he’s just the kind of guy who can deliver on Hagee’s “end-times” prophecy.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:11 pmthis guy is the ultimate in subversive intentions…
February 28th, 2008 at 4:12 pmmore scary than … no, just AS scary as cheeeney…
“Iran is Germany and Ahmadinejad is the new Hitler.â€
Does this mean Hitler was not the commander of Germany’s armed forces?
February 28th, 2008 at 4:13 pmMcCain, like his mentor, GW Bush, firmly stands on the WRONG side of pretty much every significant issue.
Except of course on minor issues such as economic policy to which he admits he should have paid more attention.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:13 pmNice… Hagee and Donohue tearing into each other.
Pass the popcorn…

what’s next? a mccain endorsement from bozo the clown?
February 28th, 2008 at 4:14 pmWow, it sounds like Pastor John Hagee is a lot like Farrakan in his inflammatory speech. I wonder if John McCain is going to repudiate him the way Obama repudiates Farrakan? Not likely.

WTF? I’ve seen this piece of work on CBN, the ‘terrist network’. This guy could lay claim to be the world’s biggest turd, enamored in scripture.
While everyone’s whispering about Obama’s faith, what is McCain? Or does he flip flop religion like politics?
February 28th, 2008 at 4:17 pma mccain endorsement from bozo the clown?
Bozo’s daddy — George H.W. Bu$h — has already endorsed McLame. We’re still waiting to hear from Bozo.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:17 pmAnd my view of God may differ (slightly) from that of Hagee, but I’m pretty confident that if you take steps intended to bring on the “End Times”, it won’t work.
I think, even if God had planned to make, say Jan 21, 2009 the Apocalypse, if some stupid human tried to deliberately fulfill some destructive prophesy on that day, God would say, “all right, that does it! No Apocalypse today. You’ll just have to sit and wait a few more centuries, you’re so anxious.”
February 28th, 2008 at 4:17 pmHagee is just plain nucking futs.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:18 pmDamn! Where is a napalm strike when you need one?
February 28th, 2008 at 4:21 pmThe general population has realized by now a man of principle does not mean raping, murdering, blowing up, burning off skin and torturing others for power, money and oil. These actions and desires will bring the repugs and the so called moral majority down to the bottom of the sewer where they belong.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:21 pmWell, I guess ol’ Hagee ISN’T one of those “agents of intolerance” then.
OK. Nice to know.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:25 pmThese End Times folks need treatment.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:25 pmWow. William Donohue calling Hagee a “bigot”…?

February 28th, 2008 at 4:26 pmReligious people are the most dangerous people in the world.
Anyone who can believe what they believe is not using their brain.
The Magical Invisible Faerie in the Sky does not exist, never has, never will, it is a story made up by ancient people to explain what they did not understand, and many used it to control the population, as in, he is invisible and does nothing to show that he exists so you have to just believe us.
Yeah right, and I have a bridge to sell you.
Just read some of Rapture Ready Dayrll and you will get the picture of loons they are.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:27 pmHagee said the same thing about Iraq being the end time trigger. Doesnt he listen to Greenspan who said its largely about oil?
Hagee thinks he wil be saved by helping to foment war, hes very wrong.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:27 pmThis is the obvious winner in the “Most Stupid Reasons to Go to War” category.
Runners-up:
* They might be making nuclear bombs. According to our intelligence, they’ve quit doing that, but we don’t believe them so we’re going to bomb them anyway.
* We can’t get the radical Muslim extremist we’re after, so we’re going to go after a different one we don’t like, even though he’s not particularly religious. We’re counting on our people not knowing the difference.
* We think this country has weapons of mass destruction, even though inspectors have been unable to find them. We’re going to bomb them anyway.
* Our oil habit has become such that we must find more of it at cheap prices. Therefore, we must invade oil-rich countries, install puppet governments that will do our bidding, and get the oil at a cheap price.
AND THE WINNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
“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.”
The Rapture as justification for war. I don’t think anything can top that.
It seems to me that if the Rapture is God’s plan (and as a Christian, I believe this is so), that God might take a dim view to our messing with it and attempting to hasten it. God’s plan will take place in God’s time. In the meantime, we must live the way God wants us to, which means not bombing each other, exercising responsible stewardship of the earth, etc.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:28 pmThese people (for lack of a better word) make me sick to my stomach. If it were anyone else (other than someone calling themself a Christian) of any other religion they would be vilified. Barack Obama can and probably rip McCain a new butthole over crap like this when they debate.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:28 pmThe term Christian infers ‘Christ-like’. As in leading a Jesus Christ influenced existence. None of these pseudo-christians are anything close. They are sick, bent on control to satisfy their self serving needs.
Lets just say, for instance, that he succeeds in getting McCain elected and gets him to start his glorious war, what will he do after all is said and done and Hagee realizes he hasn’t floated up into the sky and all he accomplished is murder and destruction? All for his and other demented likeminded peoples whimsical fantasy. Or nightmare.
I think McJowls is gonna get blown out this November worse than LBJ did to Goldwater in ‘64.

I think the “Great Whore” is the whole organized “Christian” religion. More innocent blood has been shed by them than any other force in the world.
And it shows no sign of slowing it’s bloodlust.

February 28th, 2008 at 4:30 pmHagee said that McCain “is a man of principle, [who] does not stand boldly on both sides of any issue.â€
BWAGAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
February 28th, 2008 at 4:31 pmA vote for McCain is a vote for WW3 and the end of the world as we know it?
Now that’s an endorsement!
February 28th, 2008 at 4:31 pmI’m afraid that Pastor Hagee is in for a very rude awakening if the rapture should occur before he sheds his mortal coil. He’ll be stuck down here with the rest of us heathens.

February 28th, 2008 at 4:36 pmThese “end time Christians” are more like the Zealots than Christ, preferring to kill everyone to bring about God’s kingdom rather than love everyone into it. They really should read the Bible they claim to follow. I don’t see anywhere in mine where Christians are supposed to bring about the end times, just be prepared for it.

Actually, some new scrolls archaeologists found in Egypt indicate that the Mark of the Beast may actually be 616, not 666.

February 28th, 2008 at 4:39 pmMany Scholars believe that 666 refers to a Roman Emperor such as Nero[8] (whose name, written in Aramaic, was valued at 666, using the Hebrew numerology of gematria, a manner of speaking against the emperor without the Roman authorities knowing). -Wikipedia

Daryll, you told us you were now rapture_ready. Please make up your mind.
And, no, Hagee is not a true man of God, he’s a vicious bigot.
Is Donohue confused about Hagee’s faith, or his own? You’re not making any sense.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:42 pmFrom the looks of McBush, he’ll be lucky to live until November . .

Daryll, please get some help - for your own sake. The man you refer to as a “true man of God” is not. If there is a God “IF”, he/she would not bring Hagee into the Kingdom of God.
Hagee spews bigoted and racists remarks about other children of God. So to you, if Hagee insults black people or the citizens of New Orleans, that is ok? But, those poeple are children of YOUR GOD! Does God now take his orders from nutjobs like Hagee and Robertson? I thought God was an all knowing and all loving God - ya know, turn the other cheek and stuff lie that. A bigoted self-appointed ‘paster’ can command God’s attention, but the citizens of New Orleans cannot?
So help me to understand your God. He /she is ok with a mortal men (Hagee) insulting and discriminating against other children of God?

Comment by Daryll — February 28, 2008 @ 4:39 pm
Huckabee is done, period. No, we have a secular right to bash Hagee if he puts himself into the political arena and, further, as a Christian I have a right and duty to confront his false ministry. The Bible says no man, nor Jesus himself for that matter, knows when the end is. The Bible does not suggest that Christians should bring about the end times and no political leader has any right to attempt to end the world to advance his religious wishes.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:54 pmThe 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.
Many conservative Christians disagree with this view.
While the Bible does say, in the Old Testament I believe, that one who blesses Israel will be blessed by God, bitblt has difficulty seeing that the Bible puts the U.S. in special position in the matter of Israel’s continued existence.
In actuality the U.S. may have a special position in the continued existence of Israel, but bitblt doesn’t see that in the Bible.
There is also the question of whether or not modern secular Israel is the same as the ancient theocratic Israel.
Further, many Bible students believe that the New Testament book of Revelation – the largest source of New Testament prophecies – suggests that the U.S. will become a bit player on the international stage.
The lack of influence from a one-time superpower will probably come about because of the cultural confusion in the U.S. This assessment, of course, is bitblt’s opinion.
So what is the answer to this question? Is the U.S., as a nation, worth preserving?
There is no scripture known to bitblt that suggest the U.S. has a responsibility to cause the end times scenario to commence.

Israel is our spiritual time piece.
February 28th, 2008 at 5:01 pmWill Tim Russert question MacCain if he will reject or denounce Hagee’s racial statements against Arab and Moslem Americans?
Will Russert asks McCain about Hagees statements just like when he asked Obama about L. Farrakhan statements against Jews, in the same way and fashion that Obama was asked? Although Obama neither asked nor was endorsed by Farrakhan.
Why Hagee has a free ride to attack people?
Hagee is enjoying these visits from Republican candidates to his Cornerstone Church all coming to lick his feet in San Antonio.
He became the Mecca for these candidates..
Last month he was visited by Huckabee, few years ago Senator Elizabeth Dole,when she ran for president, came to San Antonio to seek his blessings,yesterday he was visited by McCain…
Hagee once claimed he got 50 million supporters, that he can use to influence the vote, which I doubt he even has 1/20th of this.
Politicians’ visits gives Hagee a lift and gives him the image that he always sought.
McCain is so desperate these days that he will go anywhere if there is a sign of help he can get, it does not matter from who or where.
Once McCain denounced these people like Hagee in year 2000; he denoucned Farrakhan and these Evangelical preachers…
Surprise , McCain is hugging them now in 2008.

This must mean that Daryll services his pastor on a regular basis. Thanks for letting us know how you pay your pastor troll.
February 28th, 2008 at 5:10 pmLouis Farrakhan did bring a lot of black men together to focus on family values.
Not that I’m a fan, but that sounds laudable to me.
February 28th, 2008 at 5:11 pmStill don’t get the whole “Judge not, lest ye be judged†concept, huh?

More lies from the desperightards:
Obama’s top campaign aide, David Axelrod, points out, Obama often has said that he and his minister sometimes disagree. Farrakhan, Axelrod told me, is one of those instances.

Daryll cherrypicks the parts of scripture that fit his agenda. Now he’s promising a swiftboating of McCain so he can get Chuckleberry as the nominee. Basically, Daryll believes everything his pastor tells him until the next time his pastor tells him something and so on and so on.

Oh boy, we have another idiot troll. Maybe this idiot troll can link to something that says that Obama “accepts the support” of Farrakhan. Of course the link can’t be to any of the right winger sites because they all lie. Obama repudiated Farrakhan’s words and even denounced him on national tv in front of millions of people a couple of nights ago. I was one of the millions and I believe my eyes before I would believe anything a right wing troll has to say.
February 28th, 2008 at 5:13 pmadd:
“I decry racism and anti-Semitism in every form and strongly condemn the anti-Semitic statements made by Minister Farrakhan,” Obama said in the statement.

This is absolutely true. In approximately five billion years the Sun will run out of hydrogen and turn into a Red Giant, expanding beyond the orbit of Venus if not farther. If the Earth is not swallowed up by the dying star, it will certainly be incinerated and all life on it will expire. This is God’s plan, and it is indeed inevitable.

February 28th, 2008 at 5:18 pmFirst of all, Bilbo, your use of the word “troll” to define any term that is counter to your ThinkProtected bubble beliefs speaks volumes to your close-mindedness. Why not engage others on their views instead of trying to marginalize them?
Secondly, I do not deny that Obama rejected Farrakhan’s support–but his intentions in doing so are simply to gain the support of Jewish donors (hence, we have seen his motion from the Palestinian cause to the Israeli). It’s sort of like the hypocrisy of ThinkProgress–why don’t you think that the issue of Israel is similiar to the same type of Far Left attacks (except on the comment boards) that other foreign policy issues are on this blog?
It’s because CAP is funded heavily by Jews. Quite a cowardly stance, if you ask me.

How did you go from anti-anti-Semitic bigot to anti-Semitic bigot in just two posts?
Now there has been some well-deserved criticism of Barack Little Beauty Obama lately on his recent shift from supporter of Palestinians to supporter of Israel. It’s an unfortunate product of the power of the Israel lobby in this country, and I do hope that after his election we will see a shift back to a more even-handed approach to Middle East peace.
However, it is a fallacy to assume that all Jews support Israel 100% and therefore are the cause of this political shift. Jews are just as politically-diverse as Christians and Muslims, and there are many who oppose Israeli occupation and collective punishment.
Let’s not fight stereotypes and bigotry with stereotypes and bigotry.

Thanks for the heads-up, D. By the way, I wasn’t making implications. I was making inferences from your behavior. The way you casually dismiss the tenets of your professed faith makes me think that you believe Jesus didn’t really mean all the things he said. The alternative is not so good for you.

ralph was addressing Daryll, but since bitbutt asks, ralph believes that Jesus meant that we must be ever mindful that our own judgments (which are necessary if we are to function on this earth) are always fallible, and that we should not presume to know God’s will.
Daryll presumes to know God’s will and has stated such dozens of times on this board. Daryll constantly makes pronouncements about the faith of others and condemns them for it.
ralph finds it fascinating that one who preaches so loudly about his faith can so easily contradict important tenets of it.
February 28th, 2008 at 5:43 pmI support Israel’s integrity , and right to exist as a sovereign nation…ON THEIR SIDE of the BORDER. When Israel built settlements on disputed, occupied land, they lost the Moral Highground.
And if the Palestinians had followed trhe playbook of Martin L. King and Nelson Mandella…they would HAVE a Palestinian State , Long Ago.

We buy the houses from the Rapture Ready folks for a fraction of the value and let them live in them for however long they think it will take for Jesus to show up. They call it up front, of course.
They get to spend the money in their last days on earth, and after the Rapture, the investors are stuck with a smoldering pile of junk and the Raptured laugh all the way to eternity.
But if Jesus takes a wrong turn, or for whatever reason doesn’t show up at the prescribed time, the investors would get the house and the “all dressed up and nowhere to go” will be living in a van down by the river.

Seriously…I have to agree with others who’ve commented…we are entirely too close to living in a theocracy now….if someone like McCain is elected, there will be no stopping the christian right (who are actually neither) from seizing control over the nation. And then….well…God help us!

February 28th, 2008 at 11:53 pmSomeone should ask John McCain if, unlike Hagee, he supports a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, and whether he believes that a military strike against Iran would “fulfill God’s plan for…a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation†as Hagee does.
****************************************************
Good grief…the level of arrogance and self-rationalization among some people on the Religious Right knows no bounds. The Bible very clearly states that nobody knows when Armageddon will take place — but Hagee apparently believes that launching a military strike against Iran will somehow force or manipulate God into making the Rapture happen when Hagee thinks it should.

OMGZ, this cannot stand!
Prejudice against fictional characters!!
It’s not their fault they are fictional.
Why the evil…. idiot. lmao
Yeah, I knew Hagee was one of freekazoids raving about a Fictional Character in a Fiction Book.
How f-king intelligent is that?
It’s really telling when a fictional book about magic and wizards seems more plausible than the fictional stories told by Hagee to the flock of sheeple that he leads around by the nose.
This idiot keeps making predictions and he is batting a big fat Zero.
In biblical times, he would have been stoned as a false prophet. =P

************************************************
Of course, what people like Hagee can’t bear to acknowledge is the fact that books or music or movies by themselves don’t have the power to persuade people to do anything which they don’t on some level already want to do. If something as simple as reading a book or watching a movie can provoke someone into committing what their faith considers to be a sinful act, the fact is that the impulse to stray from his/her faith and commit that act was almost certainly there long before the person read that book or watched that movie — reading the book or watching the movie becomes an equivalent of “the devil made me do it”, an excuse which the person uses in an effort to disavow responsibility for his/her own impulses and behavior. Someone whose personal sense of ethics is strong enough cannot be tempted into violating their principles simply on the basis of reading a book or watching a movie.
If people like Hagee object so much to anything which involves magic, then they probably shouldn’t let their children read Grimm’s Fairy Tales or watch Disney movies like Aladdin either since so many of those stories involve characters who practice magic — yet I’m sure many of them consider stories like Aladdin, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Sword In The Stone, etc. to be perfectly wholesome entertainment.
