McCain Ad and the Anti-Christ
Some may recall my post earlier this year about the Obama-is-the-antiChrist meme. Those who believe it are fanatic about it. Some visited my site to argue that he absolutely was the antiChrist.
So, I started seeing internet chatter within an hour of McCain's "The One" ad mocking Obama as a religious figure. The first time I saw the ad I saw the way it would play to this strange little group. After a few days, the Main Stream Media has started looking into the story. Here is Time's article on it.

Sapp knows that the phrasing and images could just be dismissed as a peculiar coincidence. After all, it was Oprah Winfrey who told an Iowa crowd that Obama was "the one!" But, he insists, "the frequency of these images and references don't make any sense unless you're trying to send the message that Obama could be the Antichrist." Mara Vanderslice, another Democratic consultant, who handled religious outreach for the 2004 Kerry campaign, agrees. "If they wanted to be funny, if they really wanted to play up the idea that Obama thinks he's the Second Coming, there were better ways to do it," she says. "Why use these awkward lines like, 'And the world will receive his blessings'?"
