Speaking of Obama’s Full-Bore Pander-A-Thon to Evangelicals…

…(and we were), Insightanalystical reports:

Matthew 25 Network PAC Hits Christian Radio with Pro-Obama Ad as Christian Conservative Leaders Decide to Support McCain

David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network is apparently Obama’s chief water carrier for Obama’s hard press to win evangelicals. As reported in my earlier post (Part 1 of 2 on Obama’s Conservative Meeting Guests), Brody and CBN got the first heads up about Obama’s June meeting with religious conservatives in Chicago. Now, Brody is reporting disseminating a press release from the Matthew 25 Network PAC which heralds his new radio ad on Christian radio.

In a story dated July 1 with the title “Barack Obama Radio Spot Hits Christian Radio,” Brody writes:

Now playing on Christian radio: Barack Obama!

The Brody File has learned that the Matthew 25 Network which is a religious political action committee supporting Obama has put together a radio ad in which Obama’s faith is highlighted. And get this….they are airing it on Christian radio in Colorado Springs, the home to James Dobson and Focus on the Family.

You can listen to the radio ad here.

Insightanalystical concludes:

Anyway, it looks like we’re in for a load of religion coming our way. Oh, boy. And maybe “religious wars.” I can’t even stand the thought of this stuff hitting us until November, while other issues go by the board.

We concur.

Ironically, this Matthew 25 Network specifically quotes Matthew 25:35-40 on its begging-for-donations splash page:

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink… ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these my brethren, you did for me.’

Too bad the least of their brethren doesn’t include queers.

By the way, the head of the Matthew 25 Network is one Mara Vanderslice, who was director of religious outreach for the 2004 Kerry-Edwards campaign. Gee, that worked out real well for the Dems, didn’t it?
