A fallacy is a component of an argument which, being demonstrably flawed in its logic or form, renders the argument invalid in whole.

It's impossible logically to be "right" when he takes scripture out of context (fallacy), rejects NT scripture that states Christians are no longer under the OT Mosaic law (fallacy), and ridicules Christians who do believe and follow the scriptures (fallacy).
It's impossible to be "right" if you need fallacies of logic to "prove" your point. In fact, just using 1 logical fallacy renders your entire point invalid.

A fallacy can render an ARGUMENT invalid...it doesn't mean that the CONCLUSION is true or false, right or wrong.
And I am not sure you really have a case for an invalid argument either.

It proves one thing. The editor of that video is a moron. Note how he trusts no one to listen and form their own opinion. He's got to force his own misinterpretation all throughout the video to make sure the lesser morons get it "right".
Separation of church and state.

Christians supported Bush in both of his last elections. Now Bush has the lowest approval rating in the history of all Presidents.
At this time, polls indicate that Christians overwhelmingly support McCain. Bush has endorsed McCain....see a pattern here. McCain is a warmonger like Bush.
Obama is much more intelligent than Bush or McCain and he deserves a chance at the Presidency.
So far, many Christians have shown intolerance for Obama.
We have far too many serious problems in this country, all of them caused by Bush's administration which showed a history of not caring about human beings.
The time has come for everyone to get serious about getting our country back on track and we need to stand up to the criminals in our government and being them down.
If we don't, there won't be any freedom for any of us, Christian or non-Christian.

Here is a transcription of a portion of Obama's speech, what he said, as accurately as I could type it here while listening to the video:
#
"Democracy demands that participants translate their beliefs into universal rather than religious specific values. It requires that religious proposals be subject to argument, and agreeable to reason. If someone seeks to pass a law, it must be based on something OTHER than just the teachings of the church. You can't simply point to what your pastor said last Sunday, or evoke "God's Will", and expect that argument to be accepted by everyone without further debate.
"Although this may offend evangelicals, in a pluralistic society, we have no choice except to compromise with others. We must persuade people by referencing a commonly agreed to reality. We must compromise, and assess what is really possible. This contradicts religion, which is, at a fundamental level, uncompromising, and practices the art of dealing with the impossible. Basing your life on this may be sublime, but basing policies on this is dangerous."

During this portion of his speech, the letters over the screen said the following:
"This man is not a Christian. He wants to rule by his laws, and not God's law. By doing this, he puts himself above God."

Wow. This tape is quite prejudicial, and infammatory. It is also quite ignorant. It defies the exact thing that Obama is speaking against, ironically enough. So goes ATS responses, and America at large.

He can say he worships Santa Claus and smokes crack for all I care. He's still going to levitate the powers of Corporations and Dismiss the rights of the People.

Where is the speech anti-Christian? He makes a point of which Christianity is to be taught. Should it be Catholicism since it is the largest denomination?
I am a Pagan, so I guess I don't belong in Christian America. We are NOT a Christian nation.
