Dude, you heard that too? That is exactly why I am not voting for him..plus he is black…
I mean it has nothing to do with his big government policies, his socialist leanings, his wifes disdain capitialism ( and somewhat for our country), or his utter failure in judgement regarding who he associates with.

As a West Virginian I can confirm some of the truth of this otherwise depressing message.
The “Muslim” blood libel has been passed from church-to-church-to-church throughout our state. It’s a sad commentary on the power of the Religion Industry to continue to poison our politcal dialogue. And, hey! It’s all tax FREE! Yay, Religion!

JamesF, “or his utter failure in judgement regarding who he associates with.”
Not like Hagee and McSame. Not like that, right?

Tim - You are exactly right - they are not the same at all. In one case you have a person who willfully attended the sermons of a controvesial pastor.
In the other case, you have a controversial pastor giving his endorsement to a candiate.
The later does not carry with it any implication of a common belief system, while the former most certainly does carry that implication.

JamesF, you said, “willfully attended the sermons of a controvesial pastor.” , oh my! That’s so horrible! Please, quit with the fake outrage.
Hagee endorsed McSame, and McSame accepted it. That’s not “associating”? Come on now.

McSame accepted it, and that absolutely carries “with it any implication of a common belief system”.
If the Nazi party endorsed McSame and McSame accepted it, would you still be making your lame excuse?

Tim,
If you have any intellectual honesty, you will admit that there is a big difference. Does the fact that Obama accepted Robert Byrd’s endorsement imply that he agrees with Byrd’s KKK background? I personally do not think that is there.
If the Nazi party endorsed a canidate and they accepted it, that does not imply (to me) that the canidate has common beliefs with the endoreing entity. Now, if the canidate were attending (and defend his attendace) Nazi party meetings and bringing his family along to be subject to the preachings of the Nazi party, I would certainly be inclined to think that the canidate shared the beliefs of Nazi party. Additioanlly, if the canidate were to claim that the leader of the Nazi party was like an uncle to him, that would also give me reason to pause…

BTW, I would not consider’think progress” to be a source of information carrying any weight at all in any kind of intellectual discussion ( as you would likely reject info coming from the Heritage Foundation or the Cato Institute)

If you have any intellectual honesty, you would admit that if McSame were to get elected, either by hook or crook, our country goes from being in a ditch to being six feet under. That’s the bottom line. Obama can and will fix several huge problems created by the Bush admin. McSame will only make them worse. Your support of McSame is like roaches cheering for Raid. Wake up now. Your defense of McSame is strange as well, you want to act like you have standards, but you don’t hold McSame to any of the same standards. Typical righty.
If you have any intellectual honesty, you would quit with your fake outrage and your willful ignorance. You will quit acting like there is any problem at all with Obama, or Wright for that matter. Your arguments are getting to be totally piss poor at this point.
Hagee endorsed McSame, and McSame accepted it, McSame defended Hagee. Now it’s time for you to accept it. Your guy, McSame, is a total flip flopping hypocrite hell bent on making Bush’s mistakes even worse. Hagee is a total nutcase and that’s McSame’s guy. McSame defended Hagee, that’s called “associating” everywhere except for n your mind.
And lastly, Thinkprogress is excellent. What’s a matter, you don’t like facts?
