McCain's Farrakhan

There was so much talk the other night when Obama was asked about Farrakhan supporting him. I wonder if the media will now focus on McCain’s endorsement problem:

Calling Pastor John Hagee a “bigot,” the conservative Catholic League is calling for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to denounce/renounce/reject his endorsement Wednesday.

With a Youtube link to prove his point, Catholic League president Bill Donohue said Hagee “has waged an unrelenting war against the Catholic Church. For example, he likes calling it ‘The Great Whore,’ an ‘apostate church,’ the ‘anti-Christ,’ and a ‘false cult system.’ …”Senator Obama has repudiated the endorsement of Louis Farrakhan, another bigot. McCain should follow suit and retract his embrace of Hagee.”

Today Donohue noted that former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee expressed disappointment that he hadn’t received Hagee’s backing.

“If Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama were fighting over the support of Louis Farrakhan, we’d say they’re nuts,” Donohue said. “So what are we to conclude about McCain’s embrace of Hagee, and Huckabee’s lament for not getting the bigot’s endorsement?”

Here is the YouTube referenced in the article:

McCain has refused to denounce (or reject) the endorsement of Hagee. So is the media saying being anti-semitic is worse than being anti-Catholic? Is that also what McCain is saying?
