And for months, McCain refused to disassociate himself from the extremists, even going so far as to defend the hate-filled rhetoric. McCain said Hagee had been â€œtaken out of contextâ€) and repeatedly say he was â€œhonoredâ€ and â€œgladâ€ to have their support. .. Yesterday, after the latest revelations that Hagee believed Hitler was fulfilling Godâ€™s will, McCain gave up.&rdquo; As with Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright, these guys are in some ways just echoing what many people believe. Their conclusions are perhaps more outrageous, but not clearly on a different order of magnitude. If this leads to a trend against religious endorsement of presidential candidates, though, that would certainly be a good thing.
