John McCain's Pastor Problem


John McCain has campaigned with a Reverend Rod Parsley, who has some interesting words on Islam:

America was founded in part with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed. And I believe September 11, 2001, was a generational call to arms that we can no longer afford to ignore.

David Corn asks:

Imagine if Barack Obama had campaigned with an Imam who had called for destroying Christianity. A media and political uproar would ensue--with wide-ranging calls for Obama to comdemn the Imam.

Yes, and imagine if someone spoke about Judaism that way. Ahmadinejad hasn't even done that. He has called for the end of the nation of Israel (in something of the way that George Bush called for the end of the secular Arab dictatorship in Iraq).
