A Major Candidate Welcomes This Guy's Support?

As the information trickles out about John Hagee, it becomes more and more crazy for John McCain not to cut bait. Of course, he's in a tough spot. He had to grab somebody to prove his religious right bona fides, and Hagee became the choice. By distancing himself, he'd risk alienating that entire group of committed Republicans, and most important, volunteers.

In addition, McCain is justifying his support for Hagee because of Hagee's "support for Israel." And yet this is a guy who sympathizes with the far-right assassin of Yitzhak Rabin, who believes that Reform Jews aren't driven by the word of God, and who believes many Jews have brought about their own anti-Semitism. This guy is a pig, and that's a technical term.
