John McCain has campaigned with a Rev. Rod Parsley, who has called Islam a–well, take it from Rod:
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 no longer can 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 condemn 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 state of Israel (in something of the way that George Bush called for the end of the secular Arab dictatorship Iraq).
