John McCain declared Barack Obama "the one". Barack Obama is not "the one". He is a POLITICIAN! He also mocked the Christian religion by having a scene where Moses parts the red sea and from that, a campaign symbol emerge. He mocked God with this ad and that is blasphemy.

May he burn in hell for this mockery.

2. We're getting the shit cocktail from the McGutter team this week

to cover the fact that John McCain's son ran a bank into bankruptcy and resigned from its board this week, and to keep us from noticing Obama's electoral bounce following his trip overseas last week.

It's not just negative politics anymore, it's shock politics to get us off our game.

5. blashpemy isn't restricted to Christians

In fact Judiasm has much tougher prohibitions against the use of Yahweh for profane uses.

In fact in Hebrew the name 'Yahweh' was so Holy that it was never spelled out with vowels and the term Y-a-h-w-e-h is only and academic guess, originally by German academics whose German has been mistakenly transcribed into English as Jehovah. I think using sacred imagery to mock a political campaign would have even greater sanction by Jews than Christians.
