The Hagee Issue

Josh Marshall, putting the endorsement of Sen. John McCain by anti-Semitic homophobe, John Hagee into perspective:
Let's be clear what happened here. John McCain solicited the support and endorsement of Hagee and then he held a joint appearance with Hagee in which he formally endorsed him. In these terms, Obama has no connection whatsoever to Farrakhan. He's just someone who said positive things about Obama. So the premise for even asking Obama is dubious in itself, whereas McCain has openly embraced Hagee.
McCain's general election campaign is certainly off to quite a shitty start, isn't it?
