That's not really being racist - it's being out of touch with what is socially accepted nowadays. The same way they aren't "hip" with socially accepted terms such as googling and other new/slang words.
On a side note: "African American" is a totally bogus term.

@the OP
Totally agree with you, this should be on the news at the very least. However, I think the reason he isn't distancing himself is because he hasn't had to, as this hasn't really been shown on the news...

Unless McCain says he agrees with these statments or he puts this guy into a place of power you shouldn't care much what the pastor says. Same goes for Obama/Wright.

we read before of Barack Obama's pastor and has said a few crazy things. Many say Obama shares his views but he has distanced himself many times. His Pastor has gotten attention from the media many times.

i don't watch of American media but has McCain's pastor got as much attention as Obama's in the Media???
Has McCain distanced himself from these comments?

Hagee isn't McCain's pastor. He's a pastor who has endored McCain. That is a key difference.

Yes, but Rod Parsley is a close personal friend of McCain.  Parsley being the main figure in the video shown in this thread.

I haven't met that many old people who aren't racist.

How many were ageists?

Probably a lot of them are ageists.  In many cases, older people are the ones that push most vociferously for things like the raising of the drinking age and increased restrictions on young drivers.

If anything, there is far more ageism against the young than there is against the old.

You guys oppose religion every day in this forum.  Are you racist?   Thread fails.

While religion tends to disgust me, I don't say things like "Christianity should be destroyed."  So maybe you could say I'm prejudiced towards religion, but I'm not interested in killing anyone over it (unlike Rod Parsley apparently).

“Islam is an anti-Christ religion that intends, though violence, to conquer the world.”
Yep, and not racist.   

“The fact is that America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed.”
Hmmm, no.  Racist comment?  No. 

“America has historically understood herself to be a bastion against Islam in the world.”
Radical Islam, yes.  Still not racist. 

“In fact … I do not believe our nation can fulfill its divine purpose until we understand our historical conflict with Islam.”
I'd like to hear the whole message to understand what he's talking about, but no racism here either. 

“When it comes to Islam, now the greatest religious enemy of our civilization in the world, it’s dangerous.”
Is not radical Islam the greatest religious enemy of western civilization?  Not racist to point that out. 

I'm not seeing the racist or Hitler connection here guys.

+1 to FEOS too

That point there is very silly. Islam as a religion worships Christ as one of the most important prophets. They have nothing against Christ.
