The faith-based pro-Obama PAC The Matthew 25 Network is hosting a press conference call this afternoon announcing a new Christian radio ad in Ohio.
Watch it here:
What jumps out to God-o-Meter:
1. The narrator of the ad, former Ohio Rep. Tony Hall, identifies himself as "pro-life."
2. The ad quotes directly from the Bible--"Jesus said, 'In as much as you did it to one of the least of these, you have done it to me,'-- a tactic that's been traditionally eschewed by Republicans but increasingly embraced by Democrats.
3. The ad trumpets Obama's humble roots--"as a child, Barack knew hard times, too--he had to rely on food stamps to get by" in an attempt to combat charges of elitism.
4. Rep. Hall identifies Obama as a "Christian." Less than two months before the election, the campaign still feels the need to establish Obama's religious identity.
5. The ad's high production value in a very Christian radio tone. This sounds like it could just as well be an ad for an upcoming episode of Focus on the Family.

You are the type of fundamentalist that created the Taliban in Afghanistan - only not the same religion.
YOu could easily be part of the COMPOUND in Texas where the state had to intervene to prevent young girls being married off to old men.
Fundamentalist Christians are as DANGEROUS as fundamentalist Muslims.
In fact, it is Fundamentalist Christianity that has Supported the perennial in-fighting in Palestine.
You are not peacemakers, you are men-of-war. LORD JESUS
I can't see CHRIST leaving his broken wife, mother of his child, for a better, richer model.
I can't see CHRIST in a gambling den - even a flashy one like in LAS VEGAS
I can't see CHRIST Pushing a war, JUST TO SAY I WON
I cant see CHRIST Lying, over and over again, as McCain has, in his ads
There are a lot of things I can't see CHRIST doing- but I can't see him denouncing a man because of his RACE.
Faith, you seem to have some things confused. No one has ever said that McCain is "Chist" or treated him like such (contrary to Obama).
Does McCain have his faults? Yes he does. So does Obama. Which one come closer to believing and acting like a Christian in a matters concerning abortion? McCain does without a doubt.
You have a lot of opinion in what you wrote and no biblical back up. It is your opinion that McCain has lied over and over again (and I suppose by extension you are saying that Obama hasn't?). It is your opinion that God would be against all war, including the war in Iraq.
And it is your biased opinion that says that it is "Fundamentalist Christianity that has Supported the perennial in-fighting in Palestine".
And who has denounced Obama because of his "race"? No Republican politician and no major group of Republicans, that's for sure. When you post stuff like this you lose credibility.
Add: I just reread your comment. It's clear you are hostile to Christianity, Christians and probably God as well. In that case there is nothing that can be said that will make you think about how full of hate your comment is, nor persuade you to change. I truly feel sorry for you.
thou shall not hate; ALL liberals are sinners.I've been around for plus 70 years and have not wittnessed so much hate from you,I .guess thats why i changed politics. Go to a church of your liking but go,
excuse me???-Obama has publicly (on countless occasions) announced himself "pro-choice" so Ohio rep. has nothing to do with Obama...
and a "God-O-Meter"? no offense but not the holiest thing ever...
wow, faith, where are you getting YOUR information???
and being true to your moral standards as a christian...how is that bad?
