This is hardly surprising. Which makes it no less frustrating.

There are several double standards at work here:

white-black;
Republican-Dem;
Protestant-everyone else. (I know Obama’s a Protestant, but notice how much stuff they’re throwing at him to make him seem un-Protestant: Farakhan, the middle-name thing; the ugly madrassa rumors, etc.)

They’re hoping that if they can define the McCain as the “in” candidate for all those privileged groups, it will be enough to overcome his ineptitude and the general infamy of the Republican agenda. And I have to say: I am worried. The head-to-head numbers I have seen are alarming. If the Dems wait until September to start a coordinated campaign against him, I don’t see how they’re going to get his numbers down enough by November to prevent the Rs from stealing another election.

Why his numbers are so good, considering the places we’ve been over the past seven years and the people he associates with, is alarming in a different way. I fear the values we are normalizing in the popular culture.

But they tried to pin Louis Farakhan’s endorsement on Barack Obama. An endorsement Barack Obama did not seek, and which he rejected and denounced. But here is Hagee with this kind of intolerance and not only did John McCain embrace him, he actively sought his endorsement.

The media rationale for not sticking it to McCain is that Hagee is not his pastor. McCcain wants those coveted “evangelicals” and Hagee is the gateway. McCain has to be held accountable for courting the support of someone who has called the Catholic church a whore. His intolerance is legendary. Shame on you McCain!
