No call back from the McCain camp yet.
For the third day in a row, I’ve called Jill Hazelbaker, the communications director for the McCain campaign, seeking a comment on televangelist Rod Parsley’s call for destroying Islam. McCain, as I reported on Wednesday, has campaigned with this politically influential megachurch pastor, has accepted his endorsement, and has praised him as a “spiritual guide.” And I’ve been told–once again–she is unavailable.
McCain and his campaign will not say anything about Parsley’s advocacy of a Christian war against Islam that seeks to eradicate what Parsley dubs a “false religion.”
Where’s the straight talk now?
