McCain's Pastor Problem: The Video

During a 2005 sermon, a fundamentalist pastor whom Senator John McCain has praised and campaigned with, called Islam "the greatest religious enemy of our civilization and the world," claiming that the historic mission of America is to see "this false religion destroyed."

A very revealing article and video that should be read and shown on TV all across the nation and EXPOSED AND REPEATED by the MSM 24/7 FOR ABOUT FIVE WEEKS. - - which is as likely as everyone getting a 100% income tax rebate for ten years. Rod Parsley, an arrogant, self-righteous maniac with a minimum of formal education, runs the Pentacostal "World Harvest Church" in Columbus, Ohio, a fundamentalist congregation of a type that is typicallly attended in so many towns in the greatest portion of Ohio, including the city of Akron and virtually all of the state south of that city, possibly excepting some other college and university towns and a large Amish farm area. As is true of all evangelistic "churches", Parsley's is a tax exempt, fund raising "religious" entity, and lately, a political operation, AND he has been so loud, prominent, and aggressively active in promoting the Republican Party in Ohio that a REPUBLICAN member of the US Congress has been tempted to investigate him, along with some others of his same ilk. But alas, the Congressman has apparently lost his nerve and seems to have retreated from pursuing any action about these illegal operations. The final question that is prompted by this article: does John McCain ascribe to the maniacal preachings of Parsley or is he pandering as usual and simply acting like the loose cannon we have come to expect ? Of course, the MSM will have no part in publicizing the McCain/Parsley/Hagee connections, even though they have created and pursued the fake furor over Obama's speculated connection with Reverend Wright with their typical frenzy. Whichever is the case, McCain is making a pathetic fool of himself. He is so vague, forgetful, and innocent of the simplest facts about so many important issues a candidate should have in his command that he makes dum-dum Dubya look like a great scholar.
