Hagee follies, continued: Lieberman will headline pastor’s We End the World summit

John McCain may have had to disavow Pastor John Hagee following the disclosure of Hagee’s anti-Catholic and God-sent-Hitler screeds, but Connecticut Senator and putative non-Republican Joe Lieberman is once again standing tall at the side of the TV preacher Lieberman compared to Moses at last year’s Hagee summit (see video below). As Max Blumenthal writes at HuffPost, Lieberman has agreed to headline this year’s Christians United For Israel Washington-Israel Summit in July.

Blumenthal elaborates on Lieberman’s unrepentant enthusiasm for the meeting of Old Testament vengefulness with New Testament apocalypticism: “On May 13, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly asked Lieberman to respond to the gathering criticism of Hagee’s remarks. But instead of distancing himself from Hagee’s views as McCain had, Lieberman launched into a spirited defense of the televangelist, describing him as someone who ‘represents a lot of people in this country, particularly Christians who care about the state of Israel.’”

Also via Blumenthal, the following video by Bruce Wilson of Talk2action.org couples Lieberman’s remarks from last year’s Hagee summit with exegesis of Hagee’s end-of-the-world theology.
