Scarborough ignores McCain’s embrace of anti-gay forces.

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe yesterday, host and former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough claimed that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) “has never attached himself to these people on the far right that say if you’re gay, you’re going to hell, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.” Watch it:

As Media Matters points out, McCain sought and embraced the endorsement of San Antonio Pastor John Hagee, who claimed Hurricane Katrina was God’s judgment on New Orleans for hosting a gay pride parade. Ohio Pastor Rod Parsely, who McCain has called a “spiritual guide” on the campaign trail, claims that same-sex marriage is a “brutal attack from the forces of darkness.”
