McCain is an anti-gay far-right conservative. For four years McCain's been pretending to be Mr. Moderate to woo the country for his eventual presidential run, and now that he's seriously thinking of running for president, he's moving back to the far-right where he belongs.
Potential presidential candidate John McCain says he longer considers evangelist Jerry Falwell to be one of the "agents of intolerance" that he criticized during a previous White House run.(ThinkProgress has the transcript and video of McCain sucking up to Falwell.)
Jerry Falwell is no longer an agent of intolerance? That's news. Wow, tell us Mr. McCain, exactly when was it that Falwell stopped being an agent of intolerance? Was it when, just days after the September 11 attacks, Falwell blamed gays and lesbians, and pro-choice Americans, and the ACLU for the September 11 attacks? Yeah, that was a great moment in tolerance.
Or was it a year later in October 2002 when Jerry Falwell said that Mohammed was a terrorist?
"I think Muhammad was a terrorist. I read enough of the history of his life written by both Muslims and - non-Muslims, (to know) that he was a – a violent man, a man of war."Or was it in March of 2006 when Falwell told Jews they're going to hell?
I'm just curious, Mr. McCain, when exactly was it that Jerry Falwell stopped being an agent of intolerance? Perhaps it was about the time you decided to run for president.
McCain is as morally corrupt as any other politician. If he wins the presidency, every single person you hate in the Bush administration is going to get yet another four years. Four more years of war, of outrageous spending, of cuts to education and Medicare and Medicaid, of attempts to ban all abortions, of bashing gays in the US Constitution, four more years of Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson being given the keys to the White House.
Four more years of Republicans shoving their social and economic and warmongering experiments down our throats, and watching the country sink lower and lower into the abyss.
John McCain is no longer an agent of tolerance. The myth of John McCain as a moderate is dead.
