McCain backer thinks the holocaust was God's plan

"There's a long and disgusting history of people blaming the Jews for their own persecution. The latest to do so is one of John McCain's key backers—Pastor John Hagee.
McCain actively sought Hagee's backing and says he's "very honored"1 and "very proud"2 to have it. But yesterday, a recording surfaced of Hagee "explaining" that God sent Hitler to perpetrate the Holocaust because Jews weren't moving to Israel.
It's hard to overstate how deeply offensive these views are. And how disturbing it is when John McCain aligns himself with extreme religious right leaders like Hagee, while ducking responsibility for their hateful views."
I got this in an email from moveon.org

Gee
Gee, man divining the intent or thoughts of God almost seems like an un-Christian preoccupation.
I don't believe that Hagee and his dispensationalist cult are stewards of the Christian faith that I familiar with.
It seems like McCCCP has embraced the Christian-Zionist doctrine of actively promoting and welcoming Armageddon.
