That doesn't make him "right." As you seem to be admitting, it's a BS issue on both sides. All I was doing was pointing out the double-standard, but I really couldn't care less if McCain embraced Hagee's endorsement for 3 months, or sat in his pews for 20 years. It has very little to do with him, and nothing at all to do w/ what kind of President he'd be.
It's Thorn who is using the double-standard, and playing one side of this.
It's a completely BS issue that we have already devoted more than enough time to trying to play these "Gotcha" games.
I don't care what Hagee said in relation to McCain's candidacy. It was nice to hear McCain distance himself from it, but I thought he honestly didn't need to.
Obama was slightly more compelled to distance himself from Wright since he did attend his church, but I thought that was comparably ridiculous.
If we're going to keep playing the association game this is going to be a trivial, frivolous election season at a time when we need more from our candidates.
