In trying to contrast his experience seeking the endorsement of Pastor John Hagee, McCain was quoted to have said,"I've never been to Pastor Hagee's church or Pastor Parsley's church" http://www.cbsnews.com/...

So shouldn’t someone ask McCain what he meant by this statement? Is McCain saying that if he had ever been to Pastor Hagee’s church there would be some comparison? Is McCain saying that had he ever been to Pastor Hagee’s church then it would be legitimate to question his character and ability to lead this Nation. Well, what about your own party members who have attended Pastor Hagee’s church?. Should we question their judgement and ability to lead if they have been to Pastor Hagee’s Church?

Higgins wrote that Hagee met President Bush "several times while he was Texas governor and solidly supported his push for the White House" but that Hagee "was closer" to DeLay, who delivered "the keynote speech at Mr. Hagee's 2002 pro-Israel gathering in San Antonio." Hagee's website notes the attendance of several prominent Republicans and leaders of the Religious Right at the Christians United for Israel event, including Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), Rep. Henry Bonilla (R-TX)

The statement on its face is utterly ridiculous. John McCain has gotten away with a strong guilt by association statement which suggests that the mere attendance in a particular forum has some bearing of relevance. So, why hasn’t anyone questioned John McCain on his statement?
