Matthew Yglesias recently posted this Youtube video of John McCain's "spiritual guide" Rod Parsley. He shouts to his audience, "Islam is an Anti-Christ religion" and "America was founded with the intention of destroying this FALSE religion." The vitriol he spouts is sad, scary, and completely denigrates the faith of BILLIONS of non-violent, people in this world. Putting aside for a moment the fact that no one has stood up and called these men and out for their unconscionable efforts to smear a venerable faith, how are these men any different from Reverend Wright? Why must Obama be called to task for the mad ravings of a crazy pastor, yet John McCain seems to get a free pass when his own supporters do the SAME thing? John McCain has said nothing to denounce Parsley or equally hate-mongering John Hagee. I wish for once that politicians on both sides would call this shit out for the blatent racism that it is.
