I'm not justifying any behavior I consider bad. I listened to Wright's entire speech to the Press Club, and found little to disagree with. I listened to Hagee on Fresh Air, including excerpts from sermons, and the man is certifiably insane.
sharder, I don't know what to say. I can't honestly apologise because I really cannot believe that people listen to this guy and take him seriously. On the other hand, I feel bad that I have cast aspersions about your wife.
I find it scary as hell that there are people like this who want to influence our foreign policy (and may well have, by some accounts) in order to fulfill some Biblical prophecies.
