One Degree of Separation: John McCain

The next time you see John McCain (R-AZ) interviewed here, there, or anywhere, remember that on May 13 he was the commencement speaker at the Rev. Jerry Falwell's Liberty University. And never forget that on September 13, 2001, Rev. Falwell said this:

"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'

Earlier this year Sen. McCain said of Rev. Falwell that "we agreed to disagree on certain issues, and we agreed to move forward". He declined to specify (nor was he asked, of course) which issues those were upon which they 'disagreed', and whether or not one of them was his new ally's deranged opinion that a large number of his fellow citizens were responsible for the worst terrorist attack in American history.
