Does McCain Ad Link Obama With the Antichrist?

An article in Friday's Wall Street Journal explores the controversy over whether an Internet ad being run by the McCain campaign contains a hidden message linking Barack Obama with the Biblical figure of the Antichrist. The ad, captioned "The One" [from YouTube], is described by the McCain campaign as merely a light-hearted attempt to show that Obama "gets carried away" when he speaks. Others, however, say that for those familiar with the "Left Behind" series of apocalyptic novels, the ad uses numerous symbols of the Antichrist.

I think it notable that Senator Obama has not gone on record stating that he is in fact not the Antichrist. Hmmmmmmmm

As opposed to the Democrat version of the word "lips" as demonstrated best by Bill Clinton and John Edwards.
