Washington Dispatch: Televangelist Rod Parsley, a key McCain ally in Ohio, has called for eradicating the "false religion." Will the GOP presidential candidate renounce him? Senator John McCain hailed as a spiritual adviser an Ohio megachurch pastor who has called upon Christians to wage a "war" against the "false religion" of Islam with the aim of destroying it.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Friday repudiated any views of a prominent televangelist who endorsed him last month "if they are anti-Catholic or offensive to Catholics. "McCain has come under fire since televangelist John Hagee endorsed him on Feb. 27, but until Friday his response had been tepid. The Arizona senator merely said he doesn't agree with everyone who endorses him. He said Friday he had been hearing from Catholics who find Hagee's comments offensive. Hagee, leader of a San Antonio megachurch, has referred to the Roman Catholic Church as "the great whore" and called it a "false cult system" and "the apostate church" — "apostate" means someone who has forsaken his religion.
Now correct me if I'm wrong. Obama had to denounce Farrakhan for merely endorsing him (in part based on his views of Jews). He later had to repudiate statements made by his pastor. McCain apparently sought after the endorsement from John Hagee who disparaged Catholics. He renounced the anti-Catholic remarks when finally boxed in - but apparently NOT the endorsement. And McCain continues to associate with Rod Parsley who is calling on Christans to wage "war" on Islam. Today's word is: H Y P O C R I S Y
