In case people haven't heard enough about Reverend Wright's comments, another religious leader has made controversial comments of his own. Pastor John Hagee, who endorses McCain made comments about Catholics. He referred to them as "the great whore" and said that they were anti-jew, among many other remarks. However, he has issued an apology to the head of the Catholic League expressing "deep regret for any comments Catholics found hurtful." The Catholic church has accepted the apology, but the Democrats are not. Surprise surprise. I am sure that they just want to make this a bigger deal so that people don't think as badly of Rev. Wright's comments. I think that all of this attention on these old religious freaks is stupid. Who gives a damn what they think. Obviously you don't if you aren't their religion or don't belong to their church. Do you know how many things are said in churches everyday that many people wouldn't agree with? We just don't have to hear about them, but now with the campaigns we have to. Religion should not be a part of politics. The comments shouldn't even be a big deal because they only represent the person saying them, not anyone who associates with them. I don't even like McCain, but I think it is stupid that they are associating this with him, just like I thought it was stupid that they did so with Obama and Rev. Wright. We are giving these dumb asses the spotlight when they don't deserve it. Let them talk out of their ass....what do we care? People need to remember that religion is separate. If they have a problem with it, it should be a problem with whoever said it, not a problem with the person endorsed by them. If I have to hear anything else about this, I am going to scream. What these people are saying is dumb, and the way people are reacting by associating them with candidates is dumb. Everyone has said things that people wont agree with, when you start digging-chances are, you are going to find something dirty.
