another McCain hate-preacher

McCain’s other pastor problem: Rod Parsley.
Mother Jones reports that conservative televangelist Rod Parsley has delivered hate-filled sermons calling Islam “the greatest religious enemy of our civilization and the world.” The historic mission of America was to see “this false religion destroyed,” he added. At a public event in March, John McCain embraced Parsley’s endorsement of him and hailed the preacher as “one of the truly great leaders in America, a moral compass, a spiritual guide.”
