He didn't do it because it didn't matter to most people. These pastors are not Wright. It's not the same thing. That's the truth.
McCain only did it when it became a real threat to votes, i.e. the Jewish voting bloc. The comments Hagee made about gays never meant anything because too many of McCain's supporters agreed with them. The Catholic comments were dispatched quickly by the spokesman for Catholics in the US -- Hagee issued an apology, and the Catholic leader immediately (as if he was waiting in the wings and coordinated the whole thing with Hagee) issued a public statement saying: Apology accepted, and this matter is now closed. And so it was. This guy, you see, backs conservatives, so he wanted to make it go away as much as McCain did.
If these pastors hadn't made statements that could offend the Jewish voting bloc, McCain would still happily have both their endorsements.
Pandering means never having to say you're sorry!

Astral, did you read the comments on that HuffPo article? Or the bio of the blogger? Consensus all around is that it's a made-up story. Most of those cited have been writing that way for a long time anyway, like Joe Klein and Politico. And the HuffPo blogger himself.

That's a new troll -- when did it get here? I notice it was very busy last night.

Virtually everything Clinton says these days is more spin than substance.
And she always says it with such a straight face. Scary.

Well, I'm glad to hear you came away from Hillary's "win" speech with a good feeling. I myself came away from Hillary's speech feeling a fresh surge of energy and the great need to go kneecap a few people (after I'm done whining and complaining about unfair treatment). Then I'll give in to the urge to stand in front of large crowds of people and say a lot of things I know to be untrue. After that, I'll stiff a few folks that I owe money to, then I'll send some people out to repeat the things that I know are untrue.
But that's just the start! Stay tuned for more!
