“Secondly, McCain already denounced Hagee’s anti-Catholic rhetoric. ”

Uh, Jay, he stood onstage accepting Hagee’s endorsement only two weeks ago. Anything he may say or do to “denounce” Hagee’s message at that point is irrelevant.

The bottom line is that if Obama has any political chops at all, he
will back the McCain people down from running against Obama’s pastor on the grounds of mutually assured destruction. McCain’s cheek-and-jowel association with the absolute worst offenders of the “agents of intolerance” should be enough to refrain the subject of Obama’s pastor from being widely exploited without consequence. If it isn’t, then Obama is not a good enough politician to get elected President in the first place.

For one, Hagee isn't McCain's pastor. Secondly, McCain already denounced Hagee's anti-Catholic rhetoric. There's no comparison between the two.

The Creation Of A Conservative By Jay Reding…

David Mamet has a frank and amazing essay in The Village Voice about how he ended up going from being a “brain-dead liberal” to a conservative: I wrote a play about politics (November, Barrymore Theater, Broadway, some seats still available)…….

This certainly has the potential to be a huge problem for Barack Obama as it pushes all the right buttons on all the wrong people. It’s probably just one more reason why he won’t become President, but if John McCain chooses to play the guilt-by-association game, he could have a few problems of his own, having just last month embraced in ideological unity John Hagee, wingnut extraordinaire who believes Hurricane Katrina was God’s revenge against gays and who called the pope a whore.

Naturally, that little nugget of information is nowhere to be seen on JayReding.com.
