Rev. Wright preached hate, did he or did he not?
Rev. Hagee preached hate, did he or did he not?
So way do Obamites defend Obama going to a church that pastored by Rev. Wright by saying Rev. Hagee has made hate comments to. Is not hate, hate. Even though McCain never has ever gone to Hagee's church, the Obamites will use McCain's association with Hagee, to defend Obama's association with Rev. Wright. Is it just me or does that seem to be a little hypocritical?

Since I know I'm probably the chief "hypocrite" you're referring to I guess I'll try to answer this to the best of my ability.
"Rev. Wright preached hate, did he or did he not?"
That could be a matter of interpretation; he spoke out against our government, he repeated allegations that have been made in the past by many others, he spoke out against those who committed what he considers past offenses against members of his race.
"Rev. Hagee preached hate, did he or did he not?"
When given the chance to correct what he had said at an earlier time he said it again, that the people of New Orleans had been punished with Hurricane Katrina for planning to hold a Gay Pride Parade. There is no interpretation needed here, he made himself quite clear, more than once.
One big difference is while we're still hearing daily about Reverend Wright many people have never even heard of Reverend Hagee. Another one is while Obama has denounced the things Wright has said McCain has not done that about Hagee or other religious leaders whose endorsement he actively sought and he's proud and pleased to have gotten. I sure do see some hypocrisy here and it's not from my side.

I just want to make sure we understand each others.
The matter of interpretation
AIDS was created to kill blacks
Jews are terrorist
USKKKA
Bill Clinton Riding Dirty on the Black community
Of course all of that was taken out of contexts, I know so you do not have to use that excuse. Look I understand you are partisan, I have not problem with that. Why I call you a hypocrite is you have defended Rev. Wright but wrote discussion against Hagee, that is hypocrisy. Annie you can deny it but you are a partisan, and you are a hyprocrite. Let us reverse it for one minute what if I did what you do but in reverse, you would be calling me a hyprocrite. I am some want proud of you Annie, you can look at yourself in the mirror, and call other people a hyprocrite. You have the makings of one of those evil Republicans you hate so much.

I believe the issue at hand is a man running for president of the USA. McCain didnt sit in a church preaching hate for 20 years. Yes Hagee preaches about what he thinks God has done. Not about our government being so bad. Wright is supose to be a man of spirit but says the GD word. Huge diffrence. Really theres no comparison to the two. I will even go as far as to say Hagee is just as bad if that makes things better for some. Did any running politician sit in his church for 20 years? The trueth about Obama will come out if he is nominated. Who knows?

Neither Wright not Hagee seem to be the type of people that you'd want if you were trying to hold a party for nuns but the type of people you want around you when you are going to act in a stand-up comedy.
But Wright at least seems to base his thoughts from a somewhat interesting perspective. There are parts of the world that don't think the US of A is the heroic place that Americans think it is. Lots of these guys are nut jobs, but it pays to try and understand them - particularly if you're trying to fight a war on terror.
Hagee, I find the guy to be utterly hillarious. I remember reading some book he wrote about how Israel and the USA were allies against the end of the world. It had the usual Islamic villains but more interestingly it pointed that the Anti-Christ would come from the European Union, which despite recent differences remains the USA's most valuable ally. And who was the source of his knowledge on Israel? - Former Prime Minister, Binyamin Nethanyahu whom, when he was Prime Minister of Israel - most Israelis ended up describing him as giving them April Fools Day 365 days a year.

It is worse than hypocritical. It is childish and illogical. These people want to run the country?
