Conservative Christian Group Invokes Slavery In Opposing Obama

By Jake Topper / July 8, 2008

The Christian Defense Coalition held their anti-Obama press conference today -- "An Appeal to Catholics Regarding the 2008 Presidential Election" -- complete with the "I want you to pay for abortions" Obama-as-Uncle-Sam picture (see below)... as well as some other interesting material.

Such as: this image of slavery (above), invoked in the CDC's literature to argue that there is nothing wrong with Catholics being "single issue" voters on abortion.

Argues the CDC: "if that issue involves a fundamental right, such as the right to life for a certain group of human beings, and there is only one morally legitimate position on that issue�no faithful Catholic would vote for a candidate who, although 'personally opposed to slavery,' supported 'a white man's right to choose' to own slaves."

I made the mistake of clicking on the link to the literature. Pictures of Jesus and Aborted fetuses abound. I cant believe what Im looking at.

6. Interesting, considering Senator Obama's not descended from survivors

of the new world slave trade.

Let's push some buttons, now, shall we...how "Christian" of them.

:puke:
