Democrat Convention T-Shirt: I Was There When Obama Ascended Into Heaven

The Democrats aren’t doing much to dispel that whole Obama/messiah meme what with t-shirts like this one on sale at Invesco:

Meanwhile, despite the hype and rabid adulation, Obama remains essentially tied with McCain.  A candidate most conservatives aren’t all that jazzed about.

Seriously.  We’re going to have to put liberals on suicide watch if Obama doesn’t come away with this thing.  They’re going to be jumping off bridges and walking into traffic.

The concept of someone who is here on earth ascending into heaven is peculiarly and uniquely Islamic - hmmmm.

Excerpt from “Places of Peace and Power”
According to tradition, Muhammad’s mystic night journey was in the company of the Archangel Gabriel, and they rode on a winged steed called El Burak (meaning `lightning’wink, which according to Islamic Hadith tradition was a winged, horse-like creature that was “smaller than a mule, but larger than a donkey.” Stopping briefly at Mt. Sinai and Bethlehem, they finally alighted at Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and there encountered Abraham, Moses, Jesus and other prophets, whom Muhammad led in prayers. Gabriel then escorted Muhammad to the pinnacle of the rock, which the Arabs call as-Sakhra, where a ladder of golden light materialized. On this glittering shaft, Muhammad ascended through the seven heavens into the presence of Allah, from whom he received instructions for himself and his followers. Following his divine meeting, Muhammad was flown back to Mecca by Gabriel and the winged horse, arriving there before dawn.

Oh Jeez. Give it a rest already. It’s almost as bad as the flag pin crap.

Obama might be a tool, but he’s a Christian. That’s been all but proven. There are far better things to get on the man’s case about. Let’s let the Islam rumormongering fall to the dust already, okay?
