MSNBC/GE Scrolling " Apocalypse on August 22/ Iran will unleash Nuke"

[KoKo]

(if they have one)...according to Brit guy whose on there while Aex Whitt hypes the date. Scrolling under screen is "Apocalypse" and Brit says that Ahmanidinejad is a radical fundamentalist and has picked that day because it's when the prophet rose up into heaven.

It was pretty disgusting and I concluded that MSNBC under Dan Abrams has lost any credibility and turned to some kind of Tabloid TV that's worse than Fox if anyone can imagine anything being worse than Faux. :eyes:

1. And when they don't...

they will look like asses yet again.

[KoKo]

2. One wonders why they didn't think of that ....unless it doesn't matter

anymore what anyone thinks of them...it's too important for them to get there Rapture Message out there for the Bush base.

[originalpckelly]

4. Maybe I don't know something, but isn't August BEFORE November?

This may backfire, BIG TIME! Think Y2K.

[JHB]

7. It never matters

The people inclined to believe such predictions have a long track record of accepting whatever bullshit excuse is proffered and swallowing the whole thing all over again for a later date.

A small percentage gets a clue and balks, but not nearly enough.

3. This same crap was peddled on Fox's "Dayside" program...

a week or two ago.
BRING IT ON....

5. It's the next Mushroom Cloud Scam!

More weapons of mass deception being used on the American people! Starting a War with Iraq worked so well for Karl in 2002, why not do it again, but this time target Iran instead.

The GOP admitted two months ago, that they thought threatening and talking tough about Iran, would help them win in November. They don't care what it costs to win as long as someone else besides them, pays the price.

Dead Iraqis...Don't Care...Dead American Soldiers...Don't care...must win so democrats can't investigate or impeach...Let Gawd sort them out!

The NAZIS aren't coming, they've been here for 60 years.

6. It's completely against common sense for Iran to become an overt aggressor

like that. They have nothing to gain by launching a nuke in a first-strike move and everything to lose.

Iran stands to gain more power by wielding political influence over the fractured Iraq and then on to Syria.

10. Iran is playing this illegal cabal call the bush* whitehouse like a fiddle

In fact I'm not sure if their president isn't our friend, our being the good people who oppose this criminal war of aggression, imo

[theHandpuppet]

17. Of course! But sensationalism has nothing to do with logic

And it's obvious the MSM has no shame. They make "serious" specials about some biblical armageddon and the rapture yet when's the last time you heard even one of them mention things like the fact that hunger has risen 43% in this country during Bush's tenure? Better to talk about Tom Cruise's baby or who Jennifer Aniston is dating.

Meanwhile, as a mountaineer I have inside info that our nefarious Bat Boy from WV will be emerging from his cave on August 21st to take on Ahmanidinejad in the "mother of all battles". So don't worry about August 22nd -- Bat Boy will save us in the nick of time! Stay tuned!

[Roland99]

19. Oh I LOVE Bat Boy! He was *so* close to nailing Bin Laden....

[gorbal]

18. Maybe the read the recent Seymour Hersh article

That might have made them think.

[Tsiyu]

8. It's a ratings wager

The media are losing viewers by the boatloads because Americans are on to the game.

In desperation, they are now selling us another "war" to keep us watching.

The implications are frightening: namely, that these pretty faces you see on the TV actually WANT death and destruction for their own wallets and ratings and sense of importance and relevance.

I'm not afraid of the terrorists; I'm afraid of media who can't wait for the terrorists to "do something."

9. Would it be disrespectul to suggest....

that the possibility of this happening is as possible as our government being somehow involved in 9-11? If Iran doesn't have a nuke and our government is putting this out there to their media friends...:tinfoilhat:

[Sinti]

12. Nope not "disrespectful" IMO - Welcome to DU! :) n/t

[notadmblnd]

11. yeah, sure... and the rapture occured this past Tuesday too

God must not have redeemed too many christians... I see they all seem to still be here.

[LSK]

13. can someone please screencap all this idiots??

So we can replay their words on August 23???

[Cush]

14. that it is from a book by a Newsmax guy

Tucker Carlson had him on his show the other day and they were talking about this.

[CrushTheDLC]

16. Ah, NewsHax. That figures

Always the highest standards of fact checking at that site :sarcasm:

[MrPrax]

15. Once upon a time...

real news won't even go near this warped shit...now it's even mentioned in newspapers...

Good to see the media has it's priorities straight...don't take the time to explain anything or even refute it...it's 'faith', so it can't be questioned.

The idea that God, not the US is going to launch a nuke against Iran is delusional, racist and dangerous.
