Sen. McCain: Take Down This Ad

Catholics are not so much concerned with the end of the world as we are with having said our last confession prior to the apocalypse.

As reported previously on this blog, the McCain campaign wants us to believe that Obama is somehow the anti-Christ. Are we sure it was not Dick Cheney??

From our friends at the Matthew 25 Project.

Dear Friends,

As Christians, we were appalled to see John McCain's recent ad entitled "The One."

This ad, released on the web last Friday, tries to portray Senator Obama as some kind of Messiah and mocks those who support him as cult-like followers looking for a new Savior. Even more troubling, many view the ad as a dark attempt to portray Senator Obama as an anti-Christ figure.

The McCain campaign has said that the ad is meant to be humorous. But make no mistake about it: this ad is targeted at Christian voters with a very dark message.

We reject this tactic of fear and distortion out of hand. This false, desperate, and insulting ad should be renounced and taken down immediately.

Tell Senator McCain to repudiate this ad and take it down. Sign our petition to Senator McCain today.

Please forward this email to as many friends and family as you can. We cannot let this kind of negative campaigning go unanswered.

Help us get thousands of signatures in the next 48 hours. Sign-here.

Blessings,
