A few days ago, Max Blumenthal mentioned to me he was doing a story on Lieberman, Hagee and [by implication, because he's fully in the soup too, McCain]
The closer we can associated these three, given how toxic CUFI founder and apocalypse-booster Pastor John Hagee has suddenly become [who the heck knows why], the harder it will be for John McCain to get elected to the presidency.
[ACTION item 1]
Max Blumenthal has some deliciously scandalous news to impart. First - vote up Max's story on Digg , Buzz, Reddit so that it can get the proper mainstream media exposure it truly deserves :
Then, and only then after you've done that, proceed on to visit Max Blumenthal's Huffington Post story, illustrating the wonderful tactical opportunity Senator Joe Lieberman has put at out disposal.
[ACTION ITEM #2]
But there's another ACTION item you can help me with : I've created a 10 minute documentary to accompany Max's Huff Post story - I'm uploading the final cut now. You can, of course WATCH the preliminary cut, which had a typo, and I'd like to ask for for help in returning to this post in one hour so you can vote my finished cut up on Digg. I was up until 3AM making the first version, then I got up at 6 AM and completely re-did the video. I think it's even better than that little video I recently did which seems to have cause John McCain such trouble.
THANK YOU for your support !
Working together we CAN make a change. That was proven last week. Your votes were crucial : they helped shift the dynamic of an entire presidential campaign. Let's do that again.
Best, BruceW
Senator Joseph Lieberman is scheduled to headline Pastor John Hagee's 2008 Christians United For Israel Washington-Israel Summit this July 22. In accepting Hagee's invitation, Lieberman became the most senior elected representative confirmed to appear at the annual gala. Last year, when Lieberman spoke at Hagee's summit, he compared the Texas televangelist to the biblical prophet Moses, dubbing him "an Ish Elochim," or "a man of God." Unless he rescinds his pledge to appear at this year's summit, Lieberman can be expected to deliver another soul-stirring tribute.
Hagee's vitriolic condemnation of Catholicism, his jeremiad declaring Hurricane Katrina divine punishment for New Orleans' hosting of a "homosexual rally," and his generally disturbing apocalyptic theology became national news last February when John McCain accepted his endorsement in a widely publicized ceremony.
While initially resisting pressure to reject Hagee's endorsement, McCain finally ended his relationship with Hagee when a sermon by the preacher describing the Holocaust as the will of God registered on the mainstream media's radar (Hear the now-infamous sermon here).
