Keith Olbermann named Bill "Always Wrong" Kristol one of the Worst People in the World Monday for blithely writing off John McCain's association with bigoted crackpots John Hagee and Rod Parsley:
OLBERMANN: The runner-up, William Kristol of The New York Times, claiming there are no comparisons between Jeremiah Wright and Pastor Rod "destroy Islam" Parsley and Pastor John "the Catholic Church is the great whore" Hagee. Quoting Kristol, "[B]ecause these are just individuals who've endorsed Senator McCain. But leaving that aside, no, this would be like attacking Obama because random individuals in the Democratic Party have endorsed him."Left unsaid: "You raving douche!"
Once again, Bill, you can't take 45 percent of the facts and call them truth. Hagee and Parsley each appeared with McCain at campaign events in the last two months. And Hagee didn't just endorse McCain; Hagee says McCain solicited his endorsement. And after it, McCain said he was very honored, very proud of the endorsement. We in the media have largely given McCain a big, fat pass about these nut bags of his.
