Mc Cain and Leiberman... what does this mean?

Recently Senator McCain renounced any connection with John Hagee, a pastor who says Hitler got it right and apparently runs a group called Christians United for Israel, a misleading name as they are about anything BUT peace.

This July, Pastor Hagee will lead thousands of followers to Washington for an "Israel Summit" sponsored by "Christians United for Israel". And guess who is scheduled to deliver the keynote address? That's right, it's Lieberman.

It isn't possible that Joe doesn't know what Hagee is all about. Pastor Hagee's greatest hits include gems like these:

* On Muslims: "All Muslims have a mandate to kill Christians and Jews."¹
* On Hurricane Katrina: "I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God and they were recipients of the judgment of God for that."²
* On women: "Do you know the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS? You can negotiate with a terrorist."³

And yet McCain has not renounced his connection to Joe Leiberman, who is a keynote speaker at the upcoming conference for Christians United for Israel, and still associates with John Hagee. This concerns me. I'm still researching it, but here's a few things you may want to read and watch.
