Seriously: I got told that Obama is the antichrist.

[leftyladyfrommo]

Where does this stuff come from. It is so ridiculous that I can't believe people take it seriously.

I was at breakfast this morning and an older man told me that this upcoming election is the most important of his lifetime.

He will actually be going to the polls to vote against the antichrist.

I guess that may be one way to get the radical right religious people to go vote. Get everyone stoked about voting against the antichrist.

Woa Nelly. I thought I had fallen down the rabbit hole.

1. What was your comeback?

[leftyladyfrommo]

7. I said, "Oh, Bullshit . Don't even go there."

I live in the Bible Belt and I can tell you that it is a total waste of time to argue with these idiots.

26. Try knocking the living shit out of him, and see if he comes to his senses.

Might work.

[bdamomma]

2. between the religious right and neo cons

they can go to hell.

[CreekDog]

3. well i thought Christians want Jesus to come back

and for the rapture-believers, there is that one step along the way.

disclaimer: i'm a Christian who doesn't believe in the rapture.

[cobalt1999]

32. That would be my response as well.

Maybe we need some bumper stickers "Vote for Obama and hurry the return of Jesus!"

Fundies are good for a laugh a minute.

[Gman]

4. Without the anti-Christ

how does the "tribulation" and other crap like Christ's second coming happen? It seems to me they would want the anti-Christ so these "prophesies" (i.e. delusions) can be fulfilled.

[CreekDog]

5. great minds and all ;)

:rofl:

[glowing]

6. That Moses commercial was to invigorate the wing-nuts.

[leftyladyfrommo]

8. I must have missed that one.

Thank God.

[Mabus]

9. The Dem candidate has been called the anti-christ for several cycles now

I got e-mails on listserves back in the mid-90's that Bill was the anti-christ. Starting in '99 it was Gore. Then in 2003 it was Dean then it was Kerry. Now it is Obama.

Just tell your friend to go to her church and stay there. Tell her that it is going to happen so she should just stay wherever she's comfortable and go wait for the end to come.

[leftyladyfrommo]

10. I try not to be rude. But I was pretty rude this morning.

I get so tired of hearing such total stupid ideas.

[Mabus]

25. I know what you mean

The other day it took all my will power not to hit the gas and ram the car with the Sean Hannity bumper sticker in front of me. I didn't do it but I wanted to so badly.

Fortunately I work out of the house so my "co-workers" are three dogs. Two of whom showed up at a rally for a Dem candidate with signs showing support from the canine contingent. If they could vote, they'd vote Democratic.

[The Stranger]

27. It's long past time to get rude. Get rude, get indignant, get in their faces.

Have to fight.

13. I think the entire country is down the rabbit hole,

and they're taking us along on their ride of insanity.

[leftyladyfrommo]

14. Boy, I feel that way too. I can't remember a time when people were

so dumb and so proud of it.

I really don't get it.

[TrogL]

37. During the Raygun era

People were stupid and proud of it. At the time most of the sitcoms were about stupid people out-socializing smart people.

[CountAllVotes]

15. I was told that the other day as well as

he is a Muslim terrorist. Didn't I know this I was asked? I laughed in the pukes a-whole face, that is what I did and said, give me a break would you? :rofl:

:kick:

[leftyladyfrommo]

17. I know. It's so stupid I don't even know how to respond.

Someone is feeding this stuff to the dumber than boxes religious right. And, boy, are they running with it.

[CountAllVotes]

19. laughing in their faces and walking away is best

that is what I did. However, I might add that before I left, said puke said to me that he believed in a woman's right to choose btw.

They are desperate at this point is what I think - willing to say anything at all to save their sorry asses.

Laugh in their faces and get away is my advice. Don't waste your time with people you do not respect! :D

:kick:

[Justyce]

18. I was told by

a lady I know that they weren't voting for Obama because "he donates money to the terrorist country that attacked us on 9/11". I just said, 'do yall make this shit up as you go?! Do a little research.'

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. I wonder if some of those televangelists are putting this stuff out.

Several of them sure are hateful enough to do something like that.

[TrogL]

38. They won't and they can't

The conservative/authoritarian mindset is such a fragile house of cards, one thought out of place and the entire thing comes crashing down, leaving with them nothing. It's downright painful to watch.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. I was told the same thing by a lady in line at the post office a couple of months ago.

[TlalocW]

21. Why didn't you agree with whomever told you this?

Look, by their own crazy religious beliefs, the end of the world and the rapture cannot come about until the anti-Christ is alive and - more than likely - put in a position of power. This is part of God's plan according to them. Ask the person, "Are you going to vote against God on election day, or do you want to be swept up into Heaven in the next 6-18 months while all the sinners and liberals stay down here for Armageddon?"

And, no, I don't consider this dishonest. I'm insisting that these people adhere to their beliefs. :)

[Tangerine LaBamba]

22. Now I'm really confused

I thought Fuckface was the antichrist.

Shit. Can't count on anything anymore..................

[OneGrassRoot]

23. I saw a car plastered with bumperstickers saying he's the antichrist...

"a muslim in sheep's clothing," etc.

I posted my own question about this mindset earlier:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

24. "Just say 'I thought you folks think the Jews are the anti-christ'.....

".....and by you folks, I mean Klansmen."

Show these assholes no respect.

[mitchum]

28. May that old fool soon be with his precious lord

[Lorien]

29. A friend of mine was told that Obama is secretly letting Iraqi insurgents

into the country. They have nothing to run on themselves, so they're just making crazy shit up!

[NNN0LHI]

30. When most adult Americans believe in some God like being in the clouds this is bound to happen

Can't get around it. We are surrounded by crazies.

31. Tell him Nero was the Anti Christ.

Or maybe bush is the Whore of Babylon

[apnu]

33. This is a deep Republican meme I've heard over and over from the traders I work with

These are guys who'd vote for a corpse and a cockroach, so long as they were wearing elephant lapels (oh wait, they did already, twice). And would never swing vote to the Dems under any circumstances. These are the 33% people (err, what's the chimp polling at now?).

Anyway, from where I sit, this meme they utter is some kind of tool they use to keep themselves properly scared and agitated to vote GOP. This is how they get it done with their own people. They think Obama will put them in some weirdo Red Dawn-esque land.

The owner of my company said the same thing to me and I laughed at him. Asked what I thought was so funny about the end of capitalism and the American way, I said: "You said the same thing about Kerry 4 years ago, how many anti-Christs are there?"

[treestar]

49. It would upset their house of cards to ask them

How we survived the Clinton Administration. Since, according to their lights, we should have gone Communist during that era.

They don't really believe what they are saying themselves. They are just stupid enough to believe they are strategizing with their listener, and can get them to go for it.

[finch96]

34. My grandmother is convinced of this.

She keeps sending my mother your standard OMG! HE'S THE MUSLIM ANTICHRIST!! emails. I sent my mother that http://www.isbarackobamamuslim.com/ link that I saw posted here once, so she could send it to my grandmother. LOL. She (my mom) loved it.

Even the writers of the Left Behind series of books have had to come out and say they don't think he's the a.c.. It's sad that the hysteria has reached that level, IMO.

[Tutankhamun]

35. No fair! I wanted to be Antichrist!

Darn it.

I call Pope!

[TrogL]

36. I am the Anti-Christ

Obama is a wannabe.

[funkybutt]

39. google it! "Obama Antichrist"

n/t

[tannybogus]

40. Google Antichrist.

Ignore Obama sites, and you will find plenty of candidates for the title.(There's probably a way to delete Obama sites)

You can probably find info to use to throw back at people.

Oh and BTW, Obama can't be the Antichrist b/c the guys who wrote the "Left Behind" series say he's not.

Of course they have a financial interest.:evilgrin:

[B Calm]

41. I tell them, I thought the anti-christ was George Bush..

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

42. There seems to be an abudance of Anti-Christs around lately looking for jobs.

Must be a popular profession.

45. No. We are lucky to have so many people in politics right now

that fit the description. My own personal choice would be Cheney. If not the antichrist he is at least a terrible thug.

But Obama sure isn't one of them.

[romulusnr]

46. exposeobama.com

it's head-quaking reading.

When you're done with that, there's always hcsfjm.com too.

[mainer]

47. I thought McCain (son of Cain!) was the antichrist

There's a whole website devoted to this.

[Sheets of Easter]

48. Tell her the prophecies in Revelation were already fulfilled some 1, 950 years ago.

It was an allegory of the early Christians' trials spreading the teachings of Christ through the Roman Empire. The beast is Nero, and his number is actually 616. There are numerous antichrists, not just one, mentioned in the New Testament, and there is no basis for the idea of "the Rapture;" it is at best a 19th-century Protestant fabrication, and at worst, heresy. These people thrive on ignorance.
