Who said "God caused Hurricane Katrina to wipe out New Orleans because it had a gay pride parade the week before and was filled with sexual sin?" No, it wasn't Barack Obama's loose-talking black pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. It was John Hagee , the ultra-conservative white pastor from Texas. He also said this: "All Muslims are programmed to kill and we can thus never negotiate with any of them."
Republican presidential candidate John McCain actively sought and got the support of Mr Hagee whom he has praised and embraced. Here are the questions you need to ask yourselves: why did the American media and many Americans knee Mr Wright in the groin for his outrageous sermons but give Mr Hagee a free pass for his hate-mongering remarks? Why was so much poop flung at Mr Obama for his association with Mr Wright but none at Mr McCain for being pals with Mr Hagee? Why was Mr Obama forced to denounce Mr Wright but Mr McCain wasn't made to do the same with Mr Hagee?
Actually, the answers are easy. They're as clear as black and white.
