McCain Linking Obama to the Antichrist?
And I wonder why they call August the "silly season". Remember this ad?

According to the WSJ:
But as the article also quoted Tim Lahaye, who said that Obama definitely could not be the Antichrist, because the Antichrist is not American. Who's Tim Lahaye? Well, he co-wrote the "Left Behind" series, so he should know!The ad has provoked a growing debate on the Internet over whether it is playing with apocalyptic themes. Those ideas are chiefly shared by fundamentalist Protestants and some other evangelical Christians. Among their expectations: the ascension of a false prophet, a one-world government and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Critiques of the ad started surfacing earlier this week when Eric Sapp, a Democratic operative, circulated the first of two memos pointing out images that he believed linked Sen. Obama to the antichrist.
"Short of 666, they used every single symbol of the antichrist in this ad," said Mr. Sapp, who advises Democrats on reaching out to faith communities. "There are way too many things to just be coincidence."
McCain campaign staffers have taken to calling Sen. Obama "The One" in reference to what they see as his self-aggrandizing speaking style.
Your attention please! Obama is not the Antichrist, although some of his staffers are extremely whiny and sensitive.

It's kind of funny I think to compare him to the anti-Christ. However, the bible does say tha the ant-Christ will have no regard for women (maybe that's why he refuses to pick Hillary as his running mate?). The word anti-Christ in its meaning denies Christ. The muslim world denies that Christ was nothing more than a prophet. That he was not the Son of God. We know he's been accused of having muslim ties. So, as crazy as it sounds, maybe this writer is on to something more than just bashing McCain.

When someone is aspiring to get to the top, you dont bring other people down; but rather prove your personality and opinions for the world to know. Do not attack people with bitterness of heart to destroy them.

This is ridiculous. Poor Obama.
Have you noticed that both Clinton and McCain have conjured up mess about Obama. All the while Obama stays humble. Not returning fire for fire. I admire that. First they brought up he is Muslim, which isnt true. He is a christian. Just not a judgemental and hypocritcal one like McCain. Then he got mess for his last name. And Clinton brought up fact that he is African American, why would that make a difference. As we can see, not much has changed in America.

Jane Doe, you are such a hypocrite! You know that you and all the oher 99 andd 44/100% blacks are going to voe for Obama, not because of issues but because he's black. If the white people in this country voted the same way the blacks do, it would be a landslide victory for McCain. Think about it.

Jblsus...
The bible does say that, however, just because he wont choose Clinton as his running mate doesnt imply that he has no regard for woman. Try something else. Why would he want Clinton as his running mate? All the things she has said? And with her has Vice-president she would head Congress. Meaning alot of the stuff Obama plans to do will not get passed if it isnt what she wants. If you know anything about how that system works, you would know that nothing would get done. And once again, Obama is not Muslim. He is a christian.

McCain's campaign doesn't have anything else to do but to pay out milliions of dollars in false advertising. Why don't they have the confidence to focus on issues. This guy is a no-no for me. A blithering,stuttering. mis-speaking idiot, that is John McCain.

Jblsus.
On what basis am I a hypocrite? I am not black. However I agree alot of black people will vote for Obama because he is black. Just like alot of white people will vote for McCain because he is white. Admit it, alot of people arent ready for change. Instead of voting for race, lets vote for issues.

The mentally challenged idiots who buy into this anti christ garbage are likely the same morons who stocked up on food, water & batteries for Y2K.

jblsus, the Black folks have been voteing white for as long as I can remember. I am white and I am voteing Obama. Not because he is black or white, but because he is a leader and has a brain to go with his ability to lead. Why don't you all just get it over with and shave his head and check for the 666, and then do a DNA test to check and make sure he is human and not the second comeing. Are some so afraid of a good thing,or are they so bad themseleves that they don't believe in anything good.

How could any responsible U.S. Presidential candidate call another person who is running for the same office "The Antichrist". The ethics of Washington Politicks have hit a new low with this garbage. Refute this new attack on Obama Senator McCain and instruct your staff to drop this charge. Any further evidence of this charge by your staff or third political political organization will doom your chances of ever being president. As a christian I am offended by this effort to smear Senator Obama as "The Antichrist".

Compared to George Bush and John McCain even a dumb guy will sound eloquent. And as for biblical references......no fool in the Republican entourage knows where to find a bible let alone find chapter and verse detailing the anti christ! But Johnny boy has to find something to disparage Obama since he has the saving graces of a reptile......and the coherence of a retarded animal. So keep it up Johnny.....you will be president by the time you are 104. I am sure you would have more experience then!

you notice how they report just evangelical protestants.......... what do they think about catholics who have a strong faith. doesn't this fly in their face too........ for McCain to show total disrespect for their christian beliefs, as if...... well, they won't be effected.............. i think McCain has been listening to his previous preachers or something.

Jane Doe: The anti_Christ thing was a little toungue in cheek. I was really pointing out how the media consistantly finds ways to try and bash McCain. I did notice however that you didn't mention anything about the way the blacks vote vs. white voters.

Dont laugh. More people are wondering this than you think. my neighbor who is a sane respectable catholic church goer sid she had a dream that scared her to death. She told me it was a vision of the end of the world with Obama leading the earth to its final distruction. He was the anti-Christ.
