Remember Reverend Hagee? That guy who’s endorsing McCain? Who McCain says he’s happy to have that endorsement? That guy who said we need to bomb Iran to usher in Armageddon, the End of Days? The guy who said Katrina was God’s retribution for all the homosexual sinnery going on there, a modern day Sodom, justifiably smote by the Big Guy with the White Beard? Yeah, that guy.

Well this past Friday, perhaps because of only a handful of Republicans who give a crap that Hagee hates fags, Hagee stated the following:

As a believing Christian, I see the hand of God in everything that happens here on earth, both the blessings and the curses. But ultimately neither I nor any other person can know the mind of God concerning Hurricane Katrina. I should not have suggested otherwise. No matter what the cause of the storm, my heart goes out to all who suffered in this terrible tragedy. There but for the grace of God go any one of us.

“That’s quite a different opinion” the LAT writer states, but is horribly mistaken.

Hagee’s previous opinion: “I know that God destroyed New Orleans because God hates gays.”

Hagee’s new opinion: “I can’t know for sure that God destroyed New Orleans because God hates gays.”

Either way, Hagee still thinks that he and God share an opinion about homosexuals as well as how to effect change of the order of the Book of Revelation. And this man might have an in to the White House if McCain is elected. Terrifying.
