Not satisfied with claiming that Obama is communist, Muslim, gay (or at least meterosexual), and has black children, the McCain campaign is now claiming that he’s the fucking Antichrist.
I don’t even know where to begin. For one thing, it’s a completely incoherent ad, though it gets points for invoking Charlton Heston. But beyond that, its dog whistles are so shrill that only a premillennial dispensationalist or someone with a perverse fascination with premillennial dispensationalism would get what the hell they’re on about.
An ad like this in Canada would probably result in speculation that the candidate was senile. Just saying.

When I first saw this ad online the other day, I thought it was a joke.
Finding out that it wasn’t a joke hurts my brain.
Watching this video made me smile.
That is all.
An ad like this in Canada would leave little room for doubt.
Is this really their best tactic? “Don’t vote for Barak Obama because he is extremely charismatic.”?
When you first watch it, it sounds like the message is “We’re willing to concede the possibility that Obama is, in fact, Jesus, or Neo, or perhaps both. But has an angel approached him to tell him that yet? Is he ready to ascend?”
