...precisely Jews like Dershowitz and Grossman who my parents will blame if Obama gets elected, because they fail to recognize signs that perhaps Obama is not quite the messiah for whom the all Jewish people have been waiting. Despite Obama’s official stances on most Israel policy issues, it is hard to ignore my family’s contention that it is sheer negligence for Jews to elect a candidate who may not have a consistently pro-Israel policy...

...Obama is an unabashed radical who “pals around” with terrorists, a troublemaker who passes off his rabble-rousing as “community organizing,” a socialist who seeks to redistribute wealth and take away personal choice, and even a self-proclaimed Messiah who puts his own ambition before the good of his country.

At first I thought it was a response to the McCain campaign ad called "The One," which ridicules Obama for having a messiah complex and which many people thought drew a comparison between Obama and the Antichrist. But an analysis of Internet search data reveals that queries relating to Obama and the Antichrist started as early as January 2008, preceding the McCain video by over seven months...

...gospel songs proclaim, much of the river is a thin rivulet of brown slime largely obscured by reeds. Most of what now flows in between the Jordan's banks is human sewage, almost all of it untreated. The river where John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Messiah, a river so sacred it doesn't need a priest's blessing to be considered holy water, is today, for all intents and purposes, full of crap...
