During an unofficial panel of bloggers and activists at J Street's conference, I criticized Wiesel and Oren for associating with Hagee. Why is Wiesel palling around with Hagee? Why did I "mock" Wiesel?

I decided to put together a list of people with frightening beliefs and/or criminal backgrounds that McCain and Palin are tied to. We should all push to make the traditional media really dig into these relationships.

"I am begging you, sir. I am begging you." That was the plea of McCain supporter James T. Harris, an African-American radio host, asking McCain to go after Obama's Reverend Wright connection.

We feel its time to go public with a petition we've put together which expresses our concerns for the support political leaders, such as Lieberman, are giving to Hagee's poisonous ideology.

One out of four Americans identifies as evangelical. A recent Pew survey of their opinions, however, found a diversity that should give political pundits pause and fuel Obama's efforts to woo them.
