McCain Ad subliminally poses Obama as the Anti-christ alluding to Left Behind books

John McCain has really gone off the deep end this time. Or he has taken his hands off the wheel of his campaign publicity and turned it over to a Radically Right Ugly staffer. I have heard of all types of dirty campaigning, but to imply that Barack Obama is the anti-Christ? McCain says it was meant to be humorous. It really looks like a desperate move and a scare tactic to gain the religious right extremist vote. I am sure it will give some RRU pastors and radio talk shows some interesting material. Unfortunately, there are naive people who will fall for this ridiculous sham.

As the ad begins, the words "It should be known that in 2008 the world shall be blessed. They will call him The One" flash across the screen. The Antichrist of the Left Behind books is a charismatic young political leader named Nicolae Carpathia who founds the One World religion (slogan: "We Are God") and promises to heal the world after a time of deep division. One of several Obama clips in the ad features the Senator saying, "A nation healed, a world repaired. We are the ones that we've been waiting for." - Ann Sullivan, Washington Post Read more...




Here is a great comment that I love because of the irony. It was a comment posted to The Dallas News Religious Blog:

As it turns out, McCain has more in common with the "antichrist" than
Obama. McCain wants to stay in Iraq (Babylon) for 100 years. According to many
scholars of the Book of Revelation, the Antichrist will try to rebuild the
ancient city of Babylon in order to use it as a springboard for an international
effort at world domination. (bomb bomb bomb iran?) Ultimately, the Antichrist
will marshal forces from Babylon to spark a showdown with Christian and
Jewish-led forces in the battle of Armageddon.
But it gets better...
According to the Bible, the Antichrist is likely to be Romanian. As it
turns out, McCain's great-grandfather was from ... Romania. Only McCain's
grandfather was named John Mihai instead of John McCain. Mihai means "who is
like the Lord."
Even more strangely, McCain's name literally means "Son of
Cain" As everyone knows, Cain was the first murderer. He was the son of Adam and
Eve who committed the first murder by killing his brother Abel and is considered
by many to be the progenitor of evil.

What other solid campaign ad is the McCain campaign bringing to the people to show why he should be president?

What about comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears? Oh yeah...that should convince every intelligent voter to vote for McCain. How pathetic.



Kathy Hilton, a major contributor to McCain campaign, had this to say about the McCain "Celebrity" smear ad:

I've been asked again and again for my response to the now infamous McCain
celebrity ad. I actually have three responses. It is a complete waste of the
money John McCain's contributors have donated to his campaign. It is a complete
waste of the country's time and attention at the very moment when millions of
people are losing their homes and their jobs. And it is a completely frivolous
way to choose the next President of the United States.
