“Of course it would be interesting to know why this particular insanity crossed the line for McCain”

Because McCain has clinched the nomination and now has a Democratic opponent.

The double talk express is right on track.

As a Member of that particular Tribe, I gotta tell you that I cringe at the fact that [a too-blatant display of] anti-Semitism is apparently the thing that “crosses the line” for the media when it comes to the haters. Racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and even Catholic-bashing, hey, no prob (when it suits them, that is), but go after the Joooos…
I suppose it could be argued that I should take it as a compliment, or some perverse acknowledgement of a certain stripe of political power. But all I hear behind it is “they own the banks, the media, the govermment, and the whole world.”
Not that I want to go off on a comparative-victimization rant here — that’s ridiculous and offensive to everyone. But I do want to point out that when it comes to the haters, people of color they usually want deported, or maybe enslaved. Us, they still want exterminated.

I’m glad that Hagee is being exposed for who he is, but saddened that in going down the list of his hateful beliefs we get to skip over hating on women, gays, Catholics, Muslims, and only when it comes to hating on Jews does he get the boot.
