Want to know which lawmaker carried the crown? The Washington Post reports:
More than a dozen lawmakers attended a congressional reception this year honoring the Rev. Sun Myung Moon in which Moon declared himself the Messiah and said his teachings have helped Hitler and Stalin be "reborn as new persons."
At the March 23 ceremony in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) wore white gloves and carried a pillow holding an ornate crown that was placed on Moon's head. The Korean-born businessman and religious leader then delivered a long speech saying he was "sent to Earth . . . to save the world's six billion people. . . . Emperors, kings and presidents . . . have declared to all Heaven and Earth that Reverend Sun Myung Moon is none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent."
What you fail to address is that everything on the site is REAL!

Oh, please... This site is clearly tongue-in-cheek and is touted as such.
The giveaway? Check out the top navigational bar: The Blog (Propoganda), The Store (Sacred Relics).
It is painfully obvious this is not a site that out and out promotes Obama. If anything, it is one that clearly mocks him. I smell a conservative rat behind this site.

The only people who claim he is the messiah are those intent on destroying him.

The site is mocking those who worship Obama as a messiah. And there are plenty. It isn't declaring him messiah. It's mocking thsoe that already have.

Nothing was fabricated for the sole benefit of this site.
Every quote, every picture, every piece of "art" is authentic.
This site, parody or not, collects all these things into one place displaying the message in totality.
The intention of this site is irrelevant.
Either way it succeeded in demonstrating a disturbing trend.

Nobody thinks of Barack Obama in a biblical sense.
Only angry bitter racist republicans and bigots use the term "messiah" to describe someone that voted for Obama.

Quite clearly, Obama bashing is in full swing. After all, isn't that the intent of this thread?
Just as your doing. Nothing more, nothing less.

Cherry picking, eh? I dunno ... not all Obama supporters were/are Obamabots, but there were plenty who behaved in a worshipful way and who made/make mockery very easy. Some still act that way. But thankfully many are waking up.
Ya' didn't read my post, did ya'? There are plenty.
Not all. But plenty.
Pointing out the near biblical adoration some have for Obama doesn't make someone a 'racist' or a 'bigot'.

the bigots who hate obama for being a muslim (tho he's not) or being black, are the ones who are touting the "messiah" claim the most.

Your right, it doesnt. I never claimed it did.
I said only the racist bigoted angry bitter people used the term messiah to associate with the people who voted for Obama.
I never said using the word made you racist, it just so happens that the bigots who hate obama for being a muslim (tho he's not) or being black, are the ones who are touting the "messiah" claim the most.

I said there are TWO kinds of people who voted for Obama. Some are fine. But some are Obamabots. ( Just as there were some that were fine who voted for Bush and some were Bushbots. ) And this site clearly calls out the disciples who are Obamatrons.
