I told you yesterday about a creepy video made by Obama supporters that used the worship song Sanctuary as a soundtrack for dozens of people chanting Barak Obama, with a New Age mantra scrolling across the screen.
The video has been taken off YouTube.com but I told you I'd keep looking for a link so you could see it for yourself.
Well, thanks to TruNews.com's Marshall Washburn for sending along a link to the Manifest Obama video. A little more digging lead me to a site where I could grab the video. Hopefully it'll stay up long enough for you to see it.
So, what do you think? Creepy? Cult-like? Offensive use of a worship song?

You should check out the Frontline special The Choice 2008. It's very interesting and surprisingly balanced. That'll answer your question about why we didn't elect McCain and give you some interesting things to think about on both sides.

I am staying very neutral on this year's election, praying that God's ill will be done. I believe God is in control and that we will get the leader we deserve as a nation, good or bad. The church needs to be about the business of sharing the love of Jesus if we want to see positive change happen in this nation.
That being said I am troubled that we would take a song which is blatantly about Jesus and make it about a political candidate. I have been somewhat troubled with the messianic view many people have over Senator Obama. The role of savior is too big for any man and the job has already been filled. I already have a savior, I am trying to elect a president. May the best man win and in my opinion the best man is the one who will faithfully follow God in the execution of his duties.
Wow!! That is so wrong and disturbing! I can not believe someone used a worship song that is meant to be sung in worship to God, not used as music in a political video! Like you said, it doesn't matter what canidate it was, it's still wrong!! This song should only be used to worship God and that is it!! I could not even finish watching the video, I was so disturbed by it.
this has to be the most disturbing thing i have ever seen
This video is just another in a string of events centering worship around the global warming agenda and now, it appears, Barack Obama. Another pre-election video was titled "Obama Youth - Junior Fraternity Regiment". It came out before the election and featuring middle school children in military style uniforms. As they march into the room, they're chanting "Alpha Omega, Alpha Omega".
