Let the flip flopping continue! John McCain has rejected the endorsement of fundie-favorite Pastor John Hagee after the pastor was "discovered to have made some derogatory comments about Jews". This comes after McCain actively sought out Hagee's endorsement for a little rightwing fence-mending and pandering. Said McCain:

    Obviously, I find these remarks and others deeply offensive and indefensible, and I repudiate them. I did not know of them before Reverend Hagee's endorsement, and I feel I must reject his endorsement as well.

Really, John McCain? You're just now discovering Hagee said some horrendous things? Ever heard of google or youtube? Well guess what, McCain- the Jews aren't the only group Hagee hates- he thinks gays caused hurricane Katrina and pretty much hates everyone.
