I’m told that “the chickens are coming home to roost” (Rev. Jeremiah Wright) was virtually broadcast on a loop, causing problems for presidential candidate Barack Obama. I don’t have a TV but I read about it plenty in the newspapers.

I’ve seen much less about the Reverend John Hagee, whose support was actively solicited by presidential candidate John McCain.

Here’s a rather disturbing video in which Hagee claims that Hitler was sent by God to punish the Jews for their wickedness in remaining in Europe, rather than heading off to the “promised land” to start the state of Israel.

PS. The Reverend Jeremiah Wright, in saying that the “chickens are coming home to roost” was at pains to point out that he was quoting a white US diplomat, Ambassador Edward Peck. I don’t believe the TV channels broadcast that part of his sermon. Nor did they note that “the chickens are coming home to roost” is just another way of saying “He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.” Now who said that again?
