McCain's Rev. Hagee has a tough God. Instead of putting Jews on trains to Auschwitz, couldn't He have gotten them bus tickets to Tel Aviv? Next question: why does McCain think God sent us Hitler?

Months after his main rivals dropped out of the race, McCain has failed to win over voters in key Republican demographics. Last week in Indiana Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul won 18 percent of the vote.

What if we were to disqualify all candidates with ties to delusional religious folks? A politician should not be held accountable for the views of every author he has read or every preacher he has heard.

I respect Obama's right to repudiate his pastor's comments, as he did, but I respect even more his refusal to throw the man overboard in a practice we witnessed all too often with the Clintons.

McCain is walking into the buzzsaw of denouncing the evangelical community again. Walking away this time is going to be more difficult than he anticipates.

John McCain needed an evangelical to embrace and send a message to the Christian right that he will do their bidding, even if he's not quite one of th...

The establishment in this country needs to do a bit more thinking about civility and transgression. It is not civil or honest to attack a religion by trying to degrade its symbols.

Like every candidate, Obama must appeal to millions of voters who believe that without religion, most of us would spend our days raping and killing our neighbors and stealing their pornography.

Back in 2000, McCain earned headlines by calling the religious right "agents of intolerance." But now he's "honored" to receive the endorsement of culture warriors like Pastor Hagee.

After endorsing McCain, pastor John Hagee has come under criticism for some of his comments about Catholics, but among some fundamentalist Christians, the real problem with Hagee is comments he may have made about Jews.

It's easy to see how McCain, who once stood firm against "agents of intolerance," is going to skate by this election cycle seeking the warm embrace of bigots.

McCain has issued a head-scratching response to the growing controversy over the Hagee endorsement: the "Great Whore" stuff isn't really a big deal, let's move on.
