And He Doesn’t Want His Gay Friends “Jumping Off The Balcony”

March 22nd, 2008, 6:32 AM EDT

Sunday’s New York Times Magazine has an interview with John McCain’s controversial endorser, John Hagee, who says John McCain sought his endorsement.

Here are some other nuggets:

How did you feel when critics called you a Catholic-basher and said McCain should reject your endorsement? My statements regarding the Catholic Church have been grossly mischaracterized. I never called the Catholic Church “the anti-Christ” or a “false cult system.” I was referring to those Christians who ignore the Gospels.

What about your observation in a recent book that “most readers will be shocked by the clear record of history linking Adolf Hitler and the Roman Catholic Church in a conspiracy to exterminate the Jews? What I was trying to express was the fact that Christian anti-Semitism — both Catholic and Protestant — contributed to an environment in which Nazi racial anti-Semitism could flourish.

Sounds reasonable?

  2. Yeah, we took what he said “out of context”. What an asshole!

  3. Don’t the Baptists have something nasty in store for the Jews? I mean, if things work out like Hagee thinks they will?

    Why don’t the Israelis see Baptists as the wolves in sheep’s clothing that they are?
