McCain May Have Alienated 'Evangelicals'

Kimberly Kindy / The Washington Post:
Images of one of the nation's rising stars of television evangelism are widely available on DVDs and Web sites, with sermons that are almost certain to inflame some segment of the voting public. But in its quest to secure support from evangelical Christians, the campaign of presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain did not note a long record of inflammatory statements by Parsley and the Rev. John Hagee of Texas, another TV evangelist, until long after McCain had accepted their endorsements. The move backfired last week when clips of the ministers' sermons gained national attention, prompting McCain to reject their support.
