Wait, let me recheck the reference I was given to see if he wants a theocracy. I don't seem to see it there. Can you give me a better reference? And I'm not condoning him, I'm looking at the specific criticisms noted on the page.
And as for hate speech, these are the statements that can be considered preaching hate speech: Hagee calls literature such as J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter contemporary witchcraft. Hagee denounces abortion He has spoken out against homosexuality. So, again, if your accusing me of hypocrisy, then give me better references and then I can comment. Oh, I'm not a republican and I'll try not to be insulted by that accusation as well as the others. Politics brings out strong emotions.
