A lot of conservative Christians and even some Zionist Jews believe the refounding of Israel is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. A lot of people also believe AIDS is the creation of the CIA, and that the U.S. is at least partially responsible for the terrorist attacks against us, or even that the U.S. government created 9/11. Is there some sort of scale on which you can place "nutty" ideas? Are Obama and McCain equally entitled to have controversial preachers, or is one worse than the other?

John Mccain did the right thing.As far as the pastor goes,well is that extremist christian enough for ya?Hate to say i told you so,but i told you so!
Anyways i dont believe in the biblical prophecy about Israel.I do believe they have the right to a state of their own in light of what happen in WW2 and our history.

Luckily for McCain, Hagee isn't 20 years worth of baggage.
