Bill Donohue rejects John Hagee’s assertion that he was talking about anti-Semitic Christians, not the Catholic Church when he spoke of the “Great Whore” and “false cult system.” And, he asks, if Karl Rove thinks Obama didn’t do enough on Farrakhan, how can anyone think McCain has adequately addressed the Hagee issue.
Daniel Radosh writes about “Hagee’s Heresy” – he might think that Jews can go to heaven without accepting Jesus.
Calire Hoffman at the Washington Post warns McCain to beware: Hagee hasn’t only offended Catholics, homosexuals and Muslims – he’s gone after Harry Potter!
Leonard Fein says in the Forward: “The Jewish community can’t ‘denounce and reject,’ but we are not required to fawn and encourage.”
