I don’t know about you- but I found this McCain campaign ad “The One” to be one of the most offensive ads we have seen in American politics to date. Â
Â
At best, this ad implies that those who plan to support Senator Obama are looking for a new savior or a replacement Messiah.  But many are reading it even more darkly as an attempt to portray Obama as an anti-Christ figure.Â
A vote for Senator Obama is a vote for the man we think will make the best President, not for a new Messiah.  As Christians, we have one Lord And Savior.  Jesus Christ.  It is blasphemous to suggest otherwise.
And it is beyond offensive to suggest that Senator Obama is a false Messiah or the anti-Christ himself. Â How low can we go? Â It shows the McCain campaign is willing to make a mockery of our faith to feed people’s fears. Â Christians need to reject this out of hand.
We will be calling on the McCain campaign to repudiate this ad and take it down immediately. Â If you would like to add your voice to this effort, please email me at mara@matthew25.org.Â
