This is an instant campaign. First of all, please spread the graphic, right, around: post it on your blogs, send it to your friends...
I've got a video on the way, but this article itself needs to get around, widely. It's designed to help stop the ridiculously excessive media focus on Obama's ex-pastor, Jeremiah Wright.
First, if you have any time please vote this up on reddit, Digg and Buzzflash
Also, I've been writing stories on McCain and Hagee for over a year now, and I've put links to some of those at the end of this post, as resources you can pass around to give your friends ideas if they are writing anything on this subject. McCain/Hagee is an immensely rich vein.
Thanks for your activism and support,

McCain Endorser Pastor John Hagee: God Curse and Doom America
By Bruce E. Wilson
April 30, 2008 (also posted at Talk To Action
"As a nation, America is under the curse of God, even now." That ominous slam at America came from Pastor John Hagee, whose endorsement Republican presidential candidate John McCain sought, secured, and recently affirmed to ABC News that he is "glad to have." Hagee claims God's "curse" and "doom" is upon America because of two key issues: reproductive freedom and broad support for the teaching of the theory of evolution...
Although Senator McCain recently told George Stephanopoulos in an interview that his seeking of Hagee's endorsement was "probably" a mistake, he then doubled back to affirm his approval of Hagee's endorsement, stating, "I'm glad to have it."...
If McCain did not know of Hagee's belief that God is against America, he should have: Hagee's pronouncement of God's "curse" and "doom" on our nation was not a passing comment. It was a major theme of Hagee's book, Day of Deception (1997). In fact, Hagee devotes a whole chapter to it. Here's the curse and doom quote in context:
In "America Under a Curse," a seventeen page chapter in Day of Deception, John Hagee wrote, "As a nation, America is under the curse of God, even now. Look at the scriptures and see for yourself. The stand we have taken on abortion, the stand we have taken against God in our classrooms, just may have sealed or doom."
