Fake Christian group endorses Obama
Mara Vanderslice is a frenetic far-Leftist who worked for the Kerry campaign in 2004 — also then trying to con Christians into voting Democrat. Background on her here
A new political group that claims to be a Christian organization has endorsed pro-abortion presidential candidate Barack Obama. The Matthew 25 Network plans to run ads for Obama on Christian radio stations and in newspapers and magazines that appeal to Christians. The object is to try to pry away evangelical voters from supporting John McCain, who has already received the endorsement of a number of evangelical and Catholic groups and leaders.
Mara Vanderslice, the head of the political action committee, told the Wall St. Journal the group plans to spend $500,000 in advertising for Obama between now and the November elections.
Ads will appear in publications like the National Catholic Reporter and Relevant Magazine and a one-minute radio ad will play on Christian stations in battleground states like Ohio, Michigan, and Colorado. The radio ad campaign will eventually expand to Pennsylvania, Virginia, Missouri, and North Carolina. “You know it’s an election year when certain people start grabbing headlines by attacking the faith of presidential candidates, with all these stones being cast at Barack Obama it can be hard to know what to believe,” the ad says. It includes a clip of an Obama speech where the candidate says “I think we make a mistake when we fail to acknowledge the role of faith in people’s lives.” The group is named after the Bible verse that quotes Jesus saying, “I tell you the truth, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.”
However, the group appears uninterested in protecting the “least of these” — unborn children — and one advocate for the organization admitted to the Journal that he hopes to move the debate away from abortion.
Bart Campolo, an urban minister, said he’s “uncomfortable” with evangelicals marching in “lock-step” with the Republican Party because of its pro-life candidates for president. He said the Matthew 25 Network is trying to move evangelical voters away from pro-life issues. “What I’m excited about at this stage of the game, it seems like the evangelical community is waking up to the deeper and broader approach,” he said, according to the newspaper.
Proving its pro-abortion credentials, two leading abortion advocates in Congress, Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and Majority Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina, are involved in the group. DeLauro is a former staff member for NARAL, a leading pro-abortion group that, like Obama, supports unlimited abortions paid for at taxpayer expense and vigorously opposed the partial-birth abortion ban.

Every thing about Hon. Senater Obama looks fake to you and fox. It is unfortunate, sad, and tragic for our Greatgrand nation.
Well Col. how nice of you to use the Hon. for the Senator when we know there is nothing Honorable about the Senator….he is not a Christian he is a Black Liberation Theologist…or do you choose to ignore that?
The un-honorable Senator will be back in his white hating church in a scant 4 months and you and he will be calling those of us who send him home to Chicago racists and guess what other than white liberals the rest of us don’t feel any guilt about that….you see the old canard about “white guilt” only applies to those left of center….the center and the right of center are just enough votes to send the truly Honorable Senator McCain to the White House.
I will not forget that BHO sat in a “church” that preaches Black Liberation Theology for 20 years.
A church that welcomes moslems and holds Farrakhan up as an example.
Farrakhan sez: White people were invented by an evil scientist.
A Tehran paper quoted him in 1996:
God will destroy America by the hands of the Muslims. — God will not give Japan or Europe the honor of bringing down the United States; this is an honor God will bestow upon Muslims.
