From JedReport:
Last fall, John McCain said that he wanted a Christian to be president because he felt that the Christian faith was a better guide than other faiths. He also said that his faith was an important part of his qualification to lead, adding that the United States Constitution established America as a Christian nation.
Leave aside for the moment whether John McCain's religious bigotry is acceptable in modern America.
Instead, ask yourself what the media would have done if Jeremiah Wright had uttered those words, especially if he had been talking about race instead of religion?
What if Barack Obama himself had said them?Yet when John McCain spews religious bigotry during the middle of a presidential campaign, the media barely paid his comments any attention whatsoever.
And then a few months later, when the conservative propaganda outlet FOX News plays old archive footage of Barack Obama's pastor (not Barack Obama himself) delivering a hateful sermon, all the sudden it's the biggest issue in politics.
That, my friends, is bias. There is a double standard -- and Barack Obama is not the beneficiary.
Now, to be fair to John McCain, subsequent to the interview, said that he would vote for a non-Christian if he felt that a non-Christian was in all respects the best candidate. But has not Barack Obama explained that he rejects what Jeremiah Wright said?
And unlike John McCain, Barack Obama repudiated all aspects of Wright's bigotry. McCain merely clarified the obvious: that his religious bigotry was just one element of his decision-making process.
Apparently, according to the media, you can partially reject your own words -- but if you completely reject someone else's, there must be a bigger, deeper story.
Does it make any sense to you? Me neither.


How can this retard with no sense of history become president? THE CONSTITUTION DIDN'T ESTABLISH A CHRISTIAN NATION WHEN IT WAS BASE ON THE MAGNA CARTA.
What an idiot. John McNuts McFossil hasn't a clue. Why is still in the race? Everytime I hear him speak, I cringe. I don not believe a word he says. What a joke.
mccain is a demon like all repubilcans,especally Michelle née Maglalang malkin,o'reliy etc.they can burn in hell
McCain reminds me of Groucho Marx:
"Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others."
McCain is NOT a Christian! He is a member of the Episcopalian Church; a demonination that does NOT promote Christianity.
JedReport credits McCain with being a "bigot".
Wrong! Bigots have principles, even though they are wrong.
McCain is devoid of principles - he's a sociopath.
The media has also overlookded the fact that John McCain was the commencement speaker at Jerry Falwells' Liberty University after Jerry Falwell (and Pat Robertson) made a statement simimlar to Rev Wright's, that the attack on 9/11 was god's retribution for America's sins. Let's all keep an eye out in the future to see if McCain will reject Pat Robertson's endorsement and support. Robertson not only said America got what we deserved, but he was also closely tied in his business dealings with Mobutu Sese Seko on Zaire and Charles Tayor of Liberia, both considered by Robertson as shining examples of what a true christian nation should be.
When was this god we trust added?
