I’ve nothing more to add to Rick Moran’s comments about John Hagee endorsing John McCain, or its near mirror image on the other side of the aisle, Louis Farrakhan’s endorsement of Barack Obama. The post is worth it alone for context of Moran’s searching aside about Hagee, Bob Jones University, and the rest of that crowd, when he asks “why aren’t these people read out of the conservative movement the same way the Birchers and other extremists were kicked out by Buckley and others in the 1950’s?” If our political leaders truly want to lead us down a path of transcending divisive politics, lukewarm backpedalling when offered this kind of “support” isn’t going to help get us there.
