Our Voice Now

Just when it appeared McCain could go no lower than comparing Obama to Paris and Britney - he did. CNN’s website has announced a new ad comparing Obama to being the Messiah right down to quoting (not shockingly out of context) the Bible and Obama and even using a clip of Charlton Heston parting the Red Sea to prove their point. Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nVQaHpOnO8

This is beyond disgraceful - this is outright blasphemy. It takes a heck of a lot to offend me but McCain has finally managed to do it and if I had been supporting McCain I can absolutely guarantee I would not be now.

Why aren’t Christians outraged by this? The white Christians were certainly outraged by clips of Obama’s pastor when white pastors have been preaching the same stuff for centuries. If Obama had put this ad out it’s safe to say that the right wing would be outraged and rightfully so. If another country had put an ad out like this we’d be going to war with them! For the record I am a white Baptist.

McCain has gone too far this time. For a man who claims he is still only focusing on the issues I ask, what issues? His racism? His bitterness at never having been President? His anger at the fact the world hasn’t fallen in love with him?

I never thought anyone could be worse than Bush and Cheney. I truly never thought any candidate could pull dirtier stunts or be more selfish than them - I guess I was wrong.

At this point, quite frankly, anyone who continues to support McCain - especially Christians - do not deserve to have the right to even be a citizen of this nation let alone the right to vote. He has done what Hitler did in his time - invoke fear by playing on people’s concerns over other ethnicity or religious beliefs. To suggest Obama is the anti-Christ??? HOW are a majority of Americans not outraged???

Forget spying in on Bush’s meeting with God - I now want to be there for when McCain has to answer for this one.
