Anti-Semite Hagee Says Antichrist Is a Gay Jew (And Hitler was a Jew Too)
Thank you, Max Blumenthal, for working the Hagee beat so the rest of us don't have to. So the guy who was AIPAC's keynoter last year and whose Christians United For Israel is hosting Joe Lieberman this year believes that the Anti-Christ is a Jewish gay guy. (Uh oh, I may know him).
This is crazy stuff but is also pure unadulterated old-fashioned anti-Semitism.
You remember anti-Semitism. It is NOT about criticizing Israel, talking about neoconservatives or disliking Adam Sandler.
It is believing that Jews are evil people who are responsible for most of the bad things going on in the world. Its roots lie not in Islam (which both came along and picked up anti-Semitism later) but in Christianity, going as far back as Paul (or Saul, as we not so fondly remember him).
In any case, if you think old-fashioned Jew-hatred is dead, get a whiff of this guy, Hagee.
McCain did good by breaking with him. But what about Joe Lieberman?
Actually, the entire Hagee saga increasingly sounds like a great theme for an absolutely hilarious movie. Mel Brooks could do it justice, or Monty Python. And too bad Luis Buñuel isn't around anymore.

Wait a minute... Adam Sandler is Jewish?
And the Antichrist is some guy in Chelsea with a Lahsa Apso?

It's important to point out that Adam Sandler is Jewish. Need to counteract the bad image from the neocons. So here's a few non-neocon Jews.
Scarlett Johannsen, Kevin Youklis, Shia LeBouef, Jake Gyllenhaal,& Maggie Gyllenhaal. Whats her name, Princess Leia, is also a Jew (and Israeli no less) but she is a little neoconnish.

Carrie Fisher!
Princess Leia was a neocon? I know she voted for the use of force against the Empire but Darth Vader actually blew up her planet with WMDs. It's not like she spent the second half of the movie saying that maybe the emperor moved the Death Star to Syria.

What was that Adam Sandler song listing many of the Jews in public life?
I remember Spock and Captain Kirk.

When the Rapture arrives, will Joe Lieberman divorce himself from his Jewish heritage and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior?

Man, I had pretty much concluded that old Joe had divorced from reality, but he's totally delusional.
This is The Scorpion and the Frog. All these unChristian evangenazicons are positively toxic. If you did any research at all why would you be seen in the same room, let alone pursue them for some endorsement? Or speak in support of one of their propaganda promoting organizations?
Delusional? I think he just proved he's certifiably insane.
Someone check the D.C. water.

MJ,
Lieberman praising Hagee is like a chicken praising Colonel Sanders.
