Anyone Hear the Michael Medved Radio Show today?

Topic: The ridiculous notion that Obama is The Beast.

Amazing how much a person of Jewish persuasion has a better grasp of NT scripture than most Christians.

The Democrats are saying McCains Ad, The One (see it HERE)
intentionally appeals to fundamentalsits by drawing parallels between Obama and The Left Behind series.

If you havent seen the McCain ad it is hilarious.

[Jennifer Smith]

Yes, that is ridiculous...
Obama may very well be the man that God wants for the job, who knows? In any case, eventually people who think for themselves will check Obama out based on the facts and not on fear tactics.
McCain will hurt himself with these type of ads.

McCain will hurt himself with these type of ads.

Do your really think so?

MOST of the ad was just taking Obamas statements to their logical conclusion, profiling the borderline megalomaniacal ego displayed by his own statements.

[MacUser]

This is AWESOME.
It's SATIRE of the greatest kind. Beautiful Stuff.

This is just Obama on Obama. It's also highlighting the media hype he's generated without dealing with specific issues.

Remember folks he's only been in congress 100+ some odd days and if John Edwards thought he was "special" because of all the spotlight.. then Obama probably does think he is some democratic messiah in his own self absorbed mind.

This is fantastic. Let the Light shine... on Obama! Oh yea. This little light of mine.. I'm gonna let it shine. Oh yea!

Aw, MacUsers...Pentecostals don't get Satire.

Believe me.

[MacUser]

Believe me.

... as your little icon's single red eye gleams and twinkles ...


haha - I love it too.

Yes, I do think so...! Americans do not like to be talked down to or treated like idiots. That is why slow-talking Mr AlGore never made it to office. When looking at the ad from a tongue-in-cheek perspective, it is funny, but I still don't think most people respect negative ad campaigns. What is McCain have to offer? What is he about? That is what he should be presenting.

Jennifer,
I understand your honorable concept.. except we are against a double negative here.

I don't like McCain that much better so I'm not going to be promoting a liberal "leaning" McCain ... but I will vote for him OVER a blazing full out liberal that you know absolutely nothing about except from his "E" Entertainment Coverage. He actually thinks you can solve the oil crisis with a Tire GAUGE! He is a blooming idiot to put it mildly. Conservation does not GENERATE new energy. Look at Russia... they are going after a pipeline to secure natural resources and both of our candidates are "thinking Green". It's crazy.

Also the satire is aimed at how the media fully covers/hides these ridiculous "tire gauge" idiocies while enhancing this "Godsend" Obama untested media generated character. The Wright Church model may even be in effect.

Either way I am extremely glad to see the media creatives behind McCain - finding common ground amid it's broad base by highlighting this bias and attacking the media generated character we know as Obama.

I typed this fast so errors my be above.

Okay, let's think outside this box...is McCain really the "lesser" of two evils.. or we more afraid of the "evil" we don't know?

I don't really truly believe Obama takes after Wright... I believe it is possible that fearmongering may have led to hasty conclusions about Obama from the very beginning... We are the ones who are supposed to take an honest, objective look at what the candidates stand for. I haven't made up my mind yet...

If both candidates are thinking "green" perhaps it is a reactionary proposal, one aspect of solving a problem, which is suggesting an attitude of conservation and stewardship that may be lacking in America. I believe God has called us to be good stewards, not wasteful with our resources. Both candidates are using rhetoric that they hope will resonate with the American people, to make people believe that they could improve and change things, which sometimes requires thinking outside the box and presenting new ideas.

Just my thoughts..! Thank-you for sharing yours, too.

[MacUser]

I haven't made up my mind yet...

Really? Only addressing this one topic. I feels sure you have a drastically different opinion on this matter. If Obama's record is true... I just don't think this type of person is whom we should give the highest office to. I'm sure he thinks he's doing the right thing.. but he's not.



Obama is no moderate: His radical position on 'abortion' after birth
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite? ... 2FShowFull

.. judging by his record on a key sanctity-of-life issue. It is beyond extreme; it is jarring.

.. with its focus on the health of the mother, may differ from Christian or other religious positions over the circumstances under which abortion may be permitted. But once a baby is born, even prematurely, there is across-the-board agreement that a new human life exists. Certainly, there is no longer any threat to the health of the mother. Abortion is no longer an option, as there is no longer a pregnancy to terminate.

... But not Obama. In March of 2001, Obama's Illinois Judiciary Committee considered a law substantially identical to the BAIPA. It passed the Committee, with Obama voting against. In front of the full Illinois Senate, Obama was the only senator to speak against the bill, arguing that life protection extended to any (!) preterm babies (ponder that) could jeopardize abortion rights. He voted "present," tantamount to a "no" vote. In March of 2002, Obama's Committee passed the Induced Birth Liability Act, requiring medical care for babies who survive induced labor abortions - Obama again voting "present," arguing that the Act would "create one more burden on women, and I can't support that."

In 2003, the Democrats took control of the Illinois Senate, and Obama became Chairman of the Health and Human Services Committee. A Committee member sponsored an Amendment that would adopt the exact same language in Illinois's proposed BAIPA that Senator Boxer was satisfied did not curtail any abortion rights in the federal BAIPA. But as Chairman, Obama unilaterally killed the bill by never allowing a Committee vote, thereby preventing it from being voted on by the full Senate and becoming law.

Obama's position essentially boils down to this: a woman who contracts for an abortion is entitled, one way or another, to a dead baby. A dead baby must result, even if that baby had already been a distinct living being. The killing of some live babies is just part of the price we must pay in order to keep the sacred right to an abortion supreme and absolute, beyond any shadow of a doubt.

What kind of principle is this? What core value is Obama expressing? What extremist doctrine or interest is he defending?

I do; if that is his stance, it is a great cause for concern.
