With all of this coverage of Rev. Wright, why is it we never hear about John McCain’s fraternization with the radical preachers John Hagee and Rod Parsley? Hagee made headlines in 2005 for saying that Hurricane Katrina was God’s punishment for hosting a gay pride parade. And now Mother Jones has published footage from one of Parsley’s sermons where he claims that "America was founded in part with the intention of seeing this false religion [Islam] destroyed."

Unlike Obama, who has tried to distance himself from Wright, McCain actively sought out the endorsements of Hagee and Parsley. He has not repudiated their bigoted remarks, and continues to make public appearances with them. And yet, not a word from the mainstream media.
