McCain’s Pastors: Same Questions, Different Answers
If turnabout is fair play, then John McCain critics believe his association with controversial pastors should be held to the same scrutiny as Barack Obama’s ties to Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
After all, they point out, one of McCain’s religious supporters, John Hagee, called the Roman Catholic Church “the great whore.”
Another, Rod Parsley, referred to Islam as a “false religion” that America was called on to destroy.
Still, when McCain’s link to both men came to light, the backlash was negligible compared with the furor Obama has faced for nearly two months over his relationship with Wright, his former pastor.
