Pastor Hagee's Retraction Retraction

Posted by Katie Halper

Not to brag, but I, Scanner Katie, TOTALLY saw this one coming when I broke the McCain's Pastor Says Homos May Not Be Responsible For Katrina story. The media is now saying that John Hagee, McCain's spiritual adviser, has retracted his retraction of his "gays caused Katrina" statement. But you can't retract a retraction you haven't made in the first place.

OK, just to catch everyone up, Hagee said gay people caused Katrina. Two weeks ago, when asked if he still held the theory, Hagee reiterated his position. Then the media said he was retracting his gays caused Katrina thesis when he said. 

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.

Now the media is saying Hagee is retracting his retraction. But Hagee never retracted anything in the first place. He was merely admitting that he didn't have the God-dar to figure out which sinners the Lord was punishing. Only God knows whether his target was the gays, the women who work, or the Catholics. For He moves in mysterious anti-catholic, homophobic and misogynist ways.

I get a kick out of these guys. There are an incredible amounts of tornados hitting the bible belt right now. Why is no one preaching that God doesn't like people who are judgemental and full of hate?
