This video was put out by a group clearly affilliated with the John McCain for President campaign. Here's the link:

Since the whole discussion and the poll is about the video, watch it, and tell me what you think about it. Personally, it is yet another reason why I'm not voting for McCainiac. But let's start this off as a discussion, let people post for a bit, then rip each other's throats out, say after 30 or so posts. Cause I honestly want to get everyone's opinion about this video, personally I think it's a political piece of crap, that's putting it mildly; so I want to know what YOU think about the video.

I believe that the depth to which politicians sink is inversely proportional to the amount of hot air they spew.

Usually true, but sometimes the quiet ones will run both silent and deep.

Judging from McCain's previous reactions to stuff like this, it's doubtful he approves of this type of thing.

It's not made personally by McCain, I doubt he has the intelligence to know what Youtube is, but it was made by affiliates of his campaign. And it's not Obama having Che, it's one of his not-superbly-intelligent college volunteers having Che.

But I love this:

Black Liberation Theology combines Communism with Nazism. That seriously has to be the winner of the video. It's so stupid, the only thing you can do is laugh. Commies were Atheists. So when you see Theology next to a Hammer/Sickle, realize the video's a joke. Then Communism is the OPPOSITE of Nazism, not the same. Also, please notice how most quotes are from the fair and balance network, Faux Noise aka Fox "News".

Racist
Marxist - aka all Races are equal
Quasi Christian - aka not Marxist
Anti-Semitic - not Quasi-Christian

ROFL.

you still don't let that flag fly in your campaign headquarters while you running for public office. Obama is responsible for everything in that office building.

Liberation theology is a mix of Christianity and socialism, they do this by taking a deist approach to Christianity, and focusing on the morals and values of Jesus, and avoiding issues of divinity, while taking the stand that Jesus was the first socialist.
Black Liberation Theology does shift back more to a divine Jesus. But takes up several views that God is black, god hates whites and god is working to put black people in charge of whites (summarized).
The film tied black liberation theology into Nazism via its antisemitism, which is a valid point,the communist in the soviet union were also antisemitic.
Black liberation theology is pretty much equivalent to Christianity
Like nation of Islam is equivalent to regular Islam.

I have read James Cone's book and i can honestly say no one who believes in that set of beliefs devoutly has any business being president of the united states. On the same note however that does not mean Obama is currently a follower of those beliefs, just like his name does not mean he is a wahabist.

Also straw man on source. The people were directly quote, it is irrelevant whether fox news or CNN transmitted it on air.

Racist
Marxist - aka all Races are equal
Quasi Christian - aka not Marxist
Anti-Semitic - not Quasi-Christian

ROFL.

when systems of belief are combined they often lose part of their original doctrine. Liberation theology is basically Marxism + deism while dropping the atheist tenet of Marxism. Liberation theology combined with black separatist movements in the 60's to create black liberation theology and also dropped equality. so it is correct to tie black liberation theology in with Marxism.

While i find some aspects such as targeting the name and ancestry of Obama,
By and large this video only hold people accountable for their own actions and statements.

How dare you suggest that republicans are anything but the paragons of virtue ! Everyone knows that they are the moral party of the USA, protecting us from the non moral-ebilz ! Do you not support the troops ? Do you not love freedom ?

Now go pray ;)

Full of facts that aren't facts among other things.

Given that it's posted by Illuminati Pictures I can't shake the idea that we're being fucked with in some way.

It looks to me to be from the depraved mind of Hillary Clinton. She is such a B*tch.

If she really cared about this country, she would have backed out by now.

She's just in this for her own ego alone. McCain is going to win because the Democratic party will be at each other's throats until election day.

Whoever win the Primary is going to have the losing side not show up or vote for someone else in spite.
