McCain Gives Commencement Speech at Falwell’s University

By Charlie Savage, Globe Staff | May 13, 2006

“LYNCHBURG, Va. — When he ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2000, Senator John McCain denounced religious right leader Jerry Falwell as an ”evil” force whose message of ”intolerance” hurt the GOP and America.

Today, McCain, who is all but officially on the presidential campaign trail, will deliver the commencement address at Falwell’s evangelical Christian college. Though he’s simply speaking to Liberty University graduates and their parents, the Arizona Republican’s visit to the Lynchburg, Va., college is nonetheless freighted with broader political symbolism.”

    Hagee, in ‘NYT’ This Sunday, Says McCain Sought His Endorsement

    By Greg Mitchell

    NEW YORK In an interview that will appear in this Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, controversial televangelist Rev. John Hagee declares, “It’s true that [John] McCain’s campaign sought my endorsement.”

    McCain has attempted to distance himself from some of Hagee’s views, much as Barack Obama is doing in relation to Rev. Jeremiah Wright. But unlike McCain, Obama has not stood on stage with Wright and accepted his accolades this year.

The “bomb bomb bomb Iran” singing presidential candidate is now taking the counsel of a Messianic preacher who actively seeks to force Armageddon (because apparently God needs his help) by having America initiating a show down with the Middle East, which he thinks will best be sparked by attacking Iran.

So McCain goes and seeks this guys support in a climate of a drum beat to war with Iran that is quite similar to the fabricated evidence drum beat that lead to the invasion of Iraq.
