Jewish Leader Calls John Hagee An "Extremist"

Religion should have no place in presidential politics. I'm an ardent Obama supporter, but should his candidacy implode in the general election because of the Rev. Wright scandal, I'll be satisfied -- not that Obama lost, but that the most capable candidate the Dems have given us in years was foolish enough to believe in a vengeful sky-god from second-century Palestine. In this sole regard, he's no better, and certainly no wiser, than his loony Republican counterparts.

Rabbi Yoffie was overly kind in calling Mr. Pigee an extremist.

Come on cowards, print my comments or give me some ammo, and kick me off your site, so I can contact all the Newspapers, and t.v. networks, just actually one sided you really are. come on kick me off I dare you.

I guess you are far left, far left, like Daily Kos, Move-on.Org.

See I knew you wern't fair and balanced like fox news LOL.

It's one to say that, let's see how the Jewish people vote come November. I am sure they will go with the default White man.

Why don"t you post my comments are you just one sided, fox news prints what ever comment I make, no matter whether I agree with them or not I. I guess you at Huffington Post aren't fair and balanced like Fox News.

I disagree with Rabbi Yoffie, I think John Hagee is one of the best bible teachers on tv with the exception of maybe Charles Stanley, they are both close as far as their teachings.

let's just see if the people and the media pick this up and run with it like they did the rev wright mess. i doubt it, we all know that there is a double standard in the U.S. Obama was damn near crucified with the wright stuff, and McCain, and Bush have gotten a free ride on the same stuff forever. It's due partly to who controls the media.

I have to disagree with Rabbi Yoffie, John Hagee is one of the best Bible teachers on tv., with the exception of maybe Charles Stanley, they are very close.

John Hagee was a complete, batshit crazy lunatic long before he was an extremist.

i'm glad this rabbi spoke out against this bigot, it's more than that opportunist, teflon john mc cain did

McCain is also linked to Pat Buchanan, Hal Turner and Sean Hannity.

Note why MSM will not touch Hagee.


A former moving company manager and real estate agent, Turner cut his teeth as the Northern New Jersey coordinator for Pat Buchanan's quixotic 1992 presidential campaign. He was an aggressive self-promoter who found a platform for his views on the radio show of Bob Grant, which was broadcast by ABC's flagship station, New York City's WABC. Grant was a pioneer of right-wing radio and, incidentally, a hysterical racist. In March 1995, according to the media watchdog FAIR, Grant entertained the call of a promoter for the neo-Nazi group National Alliance who billed his mission as the "support of European males." "I don't have a problem with the National Alliance!" Grant twice declared. Less than one month later, the Oklahoma City Federal Building was blown up by a white supremacist who said he was influenced by the plot of National Alliance founder William Pierce's pulp novel, The Turner Diaries. Grant insisted on his show for days afterward that Arabs were responsible for the bombing.

John Hagee cares about John Hagee. His mission is to "sound theological and educated" but anyone with a decent high school education and a cursory understanding the basics of theology knows he is a revisionist with one goal in mind: To anoint his faith and damn all others.

Of course he wants to be 'anointed' with cash and plenty of it. As with any televangelist, every other sermon is about "buying your salvation" to keep the creepy preacher happy with baubles, limos and whores.

Obama's got Rev Wright. McCain has Rev Hagee. We should put them in a boxing ring and let them duke it out. Whichever one wins gets to pick the Pres. Unless we're fortunate enough that they knock each other out and we don't have to hear about either one of them again EVER.

When people ask me why I am so stongly support the seperation of Church and State I tell them it is because of the slippery slope that leads to religious fanatics in positions of power. If you do not draw the line seperating Church and State where do you draw the line? Do you allow a fanatic like Hagee or one of his followers in your cabinet? Perhaps as Secratary of State? The though is just too scary to contemplate.

And the point is that no one cares enough to run his sermons on Youtube and cable all day long while calling him the racist that he is, and demanding that McCain renounce him; typical.

This guy Hagee is very succesful con-man who has built a huge fortune bilking poor lonely people out of the last pennies in order to live the life-style of a prince. If he believes in heaven and hell..... Well all I can say to Haggee is, enjoy what you have now because when it's all over it aint going to pretty.

Damn! There goes the rapture...

Dear God, please rapture Hagee NOW! Suck him up quickly. Take his clothes with him, and his wife and kids. Take relatives and friends too. Take the entire church he preaches at.

Dear God, while you're at it, I ask that you rapture Bush and Cheney as well. Take all their friends and associates on up into heaven. I pray you will do this really soon. Just get them off the planet.

In Jesus' name,
Amen!!!

About time someone's called him out. I've heard Hagee speak on TV and that is one angry man. I thought preachers were suppose to teach love and tolerance. Hagee is all about hate and division.I don't know what bible he's reading from,but the bible that I read tells me I should love my neighbor,hate what is bad,and ti give to ceaser what's ceaser's and to give to God what's God's( In other words religion and politics shouldn't mix.)..... Preachers should stick to preaching and leave the politics to the politicians.

Rabbi Eric Yoffie is a Saint. He is both admirable and brave to stand up against the Zionist Zealots who harm both the US and Israel.

Bravo Rabbi Yoffie..

I applaud you for speaking out against this crazy fundamentalist advocating the "End Times." These Christian Zionists for too long (the course of Dubya's presidency) have had a seat at the table in American politics and need to be exposed for the sham they are. Only the Jewish community has the authority to make such comment in America, for the rest of us would be labeled anti-semitic if we had done so. God Bless you...

Thank you. Someone remembered McCain and his freaks. This is my biggest critique of religion they feel like they have to disparage other religions. I dont understand why we can't all believe what we want to believe without having our beliefs degraded.
