First, here's McCain

"I am very honoured today to have one of the truly great leaders in America, a moral compass, a spiritual guide, Pastor Rod Parsley....I am very grateful you are here."

And now, the great moral compass himself:

"I do not believe that our nation can truly fulfill its divine purpose until we understand our historical conflict with Islam....


The fact is that...America was founded in part with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed."

I chose to link to al Jazeera's report about McCain's appearance with Parsley

One of the biggest foreign policy challenges

is the fact that a very large number of Muslims believe that the United States is

engaged in a war against Islam. And why wouldn't they? Rod Parsley says so, and one of our presidential candidates is willing to get up

and call him a "moral compass."

Andrew Sullivan

gets it right:

And the truth is: the GOP is far, far more influenced by its religious fanatics than the Democrats by theirs'.
