hagee vs. WRIGHT

McCain deliberately sought the endorsement of a religious extremist yet Obama's pastor gets much more attention in the wingnut media. Today I heard Sean Hannity and Fats Limbaugh both continuing their attacks on Obama because of Wright yet we see nothing comparable in the MSM about McWar and Hagee. Perhaps this AP story will help redress the imbalance.

Jewish Leader Calls Hagee 'Extremist'
4 hours ago

NEW YORK (AP) — The leader of the largest branch of American Judaism said Wednesday that synagogues in the movement shouldn't work with the Rev. John Hagee, a Christian Zionist, calling him an "extremist" on Israeli policy who disparages other faiths.

Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the liberal Union for Reform Judaism, said Hagee and his group, Christians United For Israel, reject any Israeli land concessions to achieve peace with the Palestinians.

Yoffie also condemned Hagee's views on Roman Catholicism and Islam. The San Antonio pastor has suggested that Catholic anti-Semitism shaped Adolf Hitler, among other comments.

"On Israeli-Palestinian politics, John Hagee and the CUFI are extremists," Yoffie said, in a speech to Reform rabbis meeting in Cincinnati. "In expressing contempt for other religions and rejecting territorial compromise under any and all circumstances, their views run against the American grain."

The Union for Reform Judaism represents more than 900 North American synagogues
