Spins to the Left of Me, Spins to the Right

It's interesting that Hannity asked McCain about Rev. Wright/Obama and not about McCain's relationship with John Hagee. I recognize that Hagee isn't McCain's pastor, but I have yet to see McCain disavow the kooky right wing pastor's support. Just to be clear, I don't care about either religious man. It's about what McCain/Obama say not about what these "men of God" say. Just like to be "fair and balanced" is all.


Addition by Patrick:

Following along the lines here, I'm concerned about the lack of investigation into McCain's relationship with the "ubercon" Rev. Rod Parsley, whose rantings are well-documented in Mother Jones' article mentioned by Olbermann on last night's broadcast (click further for the embed).

Parsley, the wild-eyed militiaman for Christianity's radical extremist sect, has stated on more than one occasion just how much he hates Islam, thinks it THE false religion, and advocates an all out, preemptive war with the Muslim world.

He also likes the money:

“Parsley is upfront with his congregation about the church’s need for money. ‘I just love to talk about money,’ he told them. ‘I just love to talk about your money. Let me be very clear — I want your money. I deserve it. This church deserves it.’”
