John Hagee, John McCain and Christian jewelry

Texas Pastor John Hagee has been in the news recently thanks to his on-again, off-again endorsement of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.  The most recent controversy: Hagee's assertion, not all that unusual in certain conservative Christian circles, that God sent Hitler as a "hunter" to force the Jews to go back to Israel.

While the news understandably focuses on Hagee's sermons and books, it's less well known that he also sells Christian jewelry.  Pictured here: the Hagee prayer-box necklace, riffing on Jewish phylacteries.  It's part of his wife Diana Hagee's King's Daughter Collection, which also includes a branded apron, tote bag and myrrh anointing oil.

An interesting bit of info about Diana Hagee: "She was presented the prestigious Lion of Judah award by the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston for the long-standing work she and Pastor Hagee do within Israel."

Recently Frank Rich of the New York Times try to make a comparison between Obama's Reverend Wright situation and John Hagee backing McCain. this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Don't believe me? Check out this article Another Comparison Between John Hagee and Jeremiah Wright.
