Update: Obama Far More Popular Among American Jewry Than Lieberman
One of John McCain’s most enthusiastic cheerleaders and top campaign surrogates, Sen. Joe Lieberman, will address a controversial, militaristic conference sponsored by an organization founded and led by the bigoted Pastor John Hagee tonight, Christians United for Israel (CUFI).
The Christians United for Israel (CUFI) group will hold its Third Annual Washington-Israel Summit in Washington, D.C. beginning today.
McCain had sought out and received Hagee’s endorsement before renouncing him earlier this year. “I’m very proud to have Pastor Hagee’s support," said McCain before repudiating Hagee.
Hagee’s anti-Catholicism and homophobia and whacky statements on blacks and women had caused an uproar on the internet, but it was Hagee’s statement on Judaism that finally saw McCain break with Hagee publicly in May.
A late 1990s sermon by Hagee was made public in which Hagee stated that Hitler was fulfilling God's will.
The group, Activist Dems, launched an internet campaign to Tell Sen. Lieberman to immediately withdraw his commitment to deliver the keynote address at Hagee's Israel Summit on July 22.
Christians United for Israel (CUFI) echos neocon foreign policy prescriptions regarding Iraq, Iran and the Middle East, with an emphasis on stopping "Islamofascism," positions and language repeated by McCain and Lieberman on the campaign trail.
