This clip of Pastor John Hagee, whose endorsement John McCain has gladly accepted, is making the rounds. It's a sermon Hagee gave in 1990 that says Hitler was acting on God's behalf in “hunting” the Jews so that they might establish the state of Israel.
Says Hagee: “‘And they the hunters should hunt them,' that will be the Jews. ‘From every mountain and from every hill and from out of the holes of the rocks.' If that doesn't describe what Hitler did in the holocaust you can't see that.”
Hagee, as you likely know, has made disparaging remarks about Catholics (for which he recently apologized) and has said that gay sin was responsible for Hurricane Katrina.
McCain has called the Hagee/Katrina controversy “nonsense.”
Joe Lieberman recently defended Hagee, saying, “He represents a lot of people in this country, particularly Christians who care about the state of Israel.”
