ORANGE ALERT: The (almost) daily outrage

"Then God sent a hunter. A hunter is someone who comes with a gun and he forces you. Hitler was a hunter." -- Evangelist John Hagee, a guest of honor at the dedication of the American embassy in Jerusalem

— John Hagee, in 2005. Hagee was a guest of honor at the dedication of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, Monday, May 14.
