Spiritual Guide

David Corn reports: “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.” Since McCain’s managed to get away with not disavowing John Hagee, who can be tagged with anti-Catholic and anti-Jewish sentiments, I’m pretty sure that mere bigotry against Muslims isn’t going to bring the heat. The press loves McCain, so it’s hard to tag him with any of this stuff. It’s rendered doubly hard by the fact that Barack Obama’s campaign needs to keep fighting Hillary Clinton.
