Did McCain ad intend to link Obama to Antichrist?

Aide calls ad 'light-hearted'

They call him "The One."

That's the spin from a Web ad launched Aug. 1 by the McCain campaign which some biblical scholars and Democrats say contains a hidden message linking Sen. Barack Obama to the antichrist.

"It shall be known that in 2008 the world will be blessed," the announcer proclaims. Following the pronouncement, images of golden clouds and Moses parting the Red Sea are invoked to make a mockery of Obama's lofty rhetoric.

"And he has anointed himself ready to carry the burden of the one," the announcer intones. "To quote Barack, 'I have become a symbol of America returning to its best traditions.' He can do not wrong... Can you see the light?"

3. If he is the Antichrist then wouldn't he NEED to be elected?

Wouldn't that be Gods will? So those who don't vote for Obama are just slowing down the arrival of the rapture and going against God's will.

5. You and I might think it hilarious but...
large portions of the evangelical right laps this shit up. I mean just look how many copies the "Left Behind" books have sold. McCain has had a problem with the Falwell demo and this the perfect way to get them motivated to vote for him. I cannot stress enough how much this could get their panties in a wad. I was raised in an fundamentalist christian family and went to these types of churches as a kid. Luckily I "converted" (see signature quote) but I do understand how this demographic operates. This ad has the potential to really help McCain. I hope I am being a nervous nellie but I don't think so.
