Mccain tacitly approves anti-Obama Rev. Wright ad

In these last hours of the campaign, the sudden onslaught of McCain 527 "swiftboat" style Rev. Jeremiah Wright attack ads are worrisome and could swing undecided voters and shift close battleground states into the McCain column.

The ads show Rev. Jeremiah Wright and we hear his voice saying "God Damn America," the "KKK of A", and other incendiary words. There are a woman's words about trusting the presidency to a man who had Wright as his pastor and mentor, and then print saying of Barack Obama: "Too Radical, Too Risky" for America. Various Rev. Wright speeches are on youTube and the ad itself was there earlier today. [Neither John Mccain nor the Mccain campaign has done anything to denounce these ads]

The video clip is from 2005, and Sarah Palin, who is running for governor, stands on the dais of a small church; three pastors surround her in a huddle. They are touching her shoulders, her forehead, her back. The would-be governor is stone still, eyes cast down, palms up toward heaven. The man on her left, the one touching her forehead, bends occasionally to whisper in her ear.

This is Ed Kalnins, senior pastor of Wasilla Assembly of God, the church Palin attended from the time she was 4-years-old until 2002. The man behind her is praying loudly, relentlessly and with an intensity rarely seen in America's mainstream churches. This is the Kenyan pastor Thomas Muthee, a Pentecostal powerhouse who has a reputation for being able to cast out demons and witches through prayer.

First, Muthee urges the congregation to pray for Palin's success "even in the political arena ... [to] bring finances her way ... and give her the personnel." And then he offers this cryptic blessing: "In the name of Jesus. Every form of witchcraft is what you rebuke." The laying of hands on the Alaska politician, the invoking of Jesus and witches in the same sentence—what the heck is going on? ... Two of the three Alaska churches with which Palin has recently been affiliated—Assemblies of God churches in Wasilla and Juneau, Alaska—have taken some potentially controversial content off their Web sites. In September, the Web site of the Juneau Christian Center, which Palin attended as governor, was heralding an upcoming visit from the Rev. John Hagee, from whom McCain had to distance himself after Hagee's anti-Islam comments came to light. That announcement is now gone. Both churches have posted statements online confirming Palin's attendance, supporting the electoral process, and begging for privacy.

Video clips have circulated online that show Palin endorsing the Iraq war as a "task from God," and praying for the proposed Alaska pipeline; these clips have incited inflamed commentary from the left. But this kind of rhetoric is unexceptional in conservative evangelical churches, where Christians are taught to think of themselves as soldiers in the cosmic battle between good and evil. Last summer, Mike Rose, pastor of the Juneau Christian Center where Palin attended church as governor, delivered a sermon in which he called his congregation "a chosen generation and a royal priesthood ... If you're a believer this morning, you've been born again, you've been washed by the blood of Jesus, you are a priest of God." And then he singled out Governor Palin and other local politicians for special praise. "We have people in positions of authority that are establishing a new kind of righteousness in the land."

In another sermon, Kalnins preached that 1st century Jews were jealous of the Messiah. "That's what made the Pharisees miss the Messiah," he said, "jealousy. The gentiles, us, non-Jews, are going to make Israel jealous for [of] the Messiah, Christ." So when you evangelize, he continued, do so gently—you don't want to make people jealous. Some Jews are suspicious about how Christians with end-times theology view Israel—and with good reason; certain fringe Christian sects hold that Jews deserve God's punishment for denying the divinity of Jesus...among the most controversial YouTube clips is one of David Brickner, executive director of Jews for Jesus, preaching at the Wasilla Bible Church on the same day Palin was there for her new baby Trig's dedication ceremony. Brickner preached that terrorism in Israel was God's judgment on the Jews for their not believing in Jesus—comments that were roundly denounced by Jewish groups.
