"The pastor of
Cornerstone Church of San Antonio, [John Hagee] is indeed a pea-brained bigot ... and it's sad -- and
uncharacteristic -- of McCain to accept his support. Those people
unsatisfied with Barack Obama's equivocations about Louis Farrakhan
should have the intellectual consistency to admit that McCain's embrace
of Hagee is far more troubling," - Jamie Kirchick, TNR, February 2008.
"Rather than draw attention to the murderous antisemitism, terrorism and
impending nuclear-armed theocracy that Israel must confront, J Street
prefers to churn out countless blog posts, press releases and op-eds
denouncing the people who it believes are the real impediments to
peace: stalwart defenders of Israel like Pastor John Hagee, Senator Joe
Lieberman and former House speaker Newt Gingrich," - Jamie Kirchick, the Forward, July 2009.
