“John Hagee gets credibility he doesn’t deserve every time elected officials embrace him,” said People For the American Way President Kathryn Kolbert. “Senator Lieberman should take a closer look at Hagee’s record and take his name off Hagee’s agenda.”

“Hagee’s recently revealed statements that Hitler was God’s ‘hunter’ are the latest in a long and ugly record” said Kolbert. “We’re proud of People For the American Way’s part in exposing Hagee’s extremism.”

People For the American Way is circulating a petition asking Lieberman to cancel his appearance. J Street is also collecting signatures asking Lieberman not to attend Hagee’s event.
