1. good.
They've certainly creeped out sane Americans enough -- hope they lose lots and lots of sleep over him.

2. Uh, are they trying to say he could be the Anti-Christ?
Edited on Fri Dec-01-06 10:55 AM by Kagemusha
Seriously, are they trying to say he could be the Anti-Christ?...

Uh okay...

Edit: No one wanted to believe me when I said he's scaring people by promoting peace. Peace is provocative. Well look who's been provoked.

11. We have a slate of anti-Christs.
But there's a lot of contention in the primaries.

22. Bush isn't smart enough or well-liked enough to be the anti-Christ.
The anti-Christ is supposed to be very intelligent AND charismatic enough to woo the entire world - not just 30 percent of brainwashed Americans.

Maybe Bush is just one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse? Except, that he's scared of horses... and he tries to milk them... and he can't ride...

:evilgrin:

32. Bush is the Horseman of Famine
who is also known as the Horseman of Commerce.

Revelation 6:5-6 tells all ye need to know about Shrub Bush:

6:5 - And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6:6 - And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

(A penny was a day's wages in that time, so some translations of these two verses say "a measure of wheat for a day's wages, and three measures of barley for a day's wages." Either way, these prices are highway robbery.)

So what? Bush gave a Presidential Address the night before he launched Operation Iraqi Liberation. In it he directly addressed the Iraqis: "Do not damage the oil fields." See thou hurt not the oil.

Cheney is the Pale Horseman--the Horseman of Death. Rumsfeld and one other member of the administration are the other two horsemen. I haven't figured out which is which yet.

Ronald Wilson Reagan is the Antichrist--who comes before the Four Horsemen. People have tried to pin the Antichrist role on Bush by using weird-ass numerology or ancient Germanic spellings to put 6-6-6 in his name. The Antichrist wouldn't be so obtuse. Also, the Antichrist needs to be charming and intelligent. Reagan was smart before he got Alzheimer's--which unfortunately happened before he went to Bitburg--and he was very charismatic. Bush is a grade-A dumbass and he's even less appealing than a liver-and-asparagus casserole. The Horsemen are allowed to be assholes.

29. my Dad is always saying that Obama might be the anti-Christ
of course, Dad isn't religious, lives in IL, and voted and actively supported Obama.

But he loves making that joke

3. That's hilarious! They find people wanting to touch him to be "creepy"
and yet any one of those jackoffs would sell their grandmother to have a chance to touch, or even be looked at, by His Most Holy Bushness.

I don't know how familiar you are with the various rightwing (that is, insane and Biblically heretical) versions of eschatology, but the language those few posters are using is very much of the "I think he might be the anti-Christ" variety.

Which would make me think that they would support him, if they believe him to be the anti-Christ, since in their sick version (that is, heretical) of the end times, Jesus can't come until the anti-Christ has done his thing.

7. Remember the sure way to tell the anti-Christ
He's in favor of peace.

4. they are all dancing around their racism, it's great
"I get an uneasy feeling about him, and I just don't know why."

Because he is black. You get an uneasy feeling because he is black. The end.

Either that, or he's the anti-christ.

9. black AND the anti-christ.
of course if they came face to face with the actual jesus -- with skin like burnished bronze and snow white hair like a sheep -- i'd hate to think what kind of uneasy that would create.

10. "he's not where he is because he's accomplished anything"
Is believing in fundamentalist horse shit accomplishing anything? Curious minds want to know.

12. Some really "deep" thinkers over in that crowd!
e.g.: "I think it's really weird that his first name is pronounced the same as the last name of Israel's PM, and his last name rhymes with Osama." :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

14. And they are probably not yet aware
that his middle name is Hussein. That will really convince them that he is the antichrist.

18. That was news to me too! (I'm SHOCKED, I tell you, SHOCKED!)
I had to Google to verify it. Here's a very interesting hit: http://usliberals.about.com/od/congressionalleadership/p/SenObama.htm To tell you the truth, I hadn't given him all that much thought until I read that. I'm impressed now!

Now, I do "emote" over politicians -- we almost named DS2 "George" but at the last minute named him after my dad, instead. Another great guy

20. Take note of the source...
"When I was watching Fox News yesterday, they were showing a clip of Barack shaking hands with supporters. The reporter on the scene was talking about his popularity. He said there were some people there that were just hoping to touch him. Now that really gave me the creeps."

21. Hey, I thought Hillary was the anti-christ!
Or was it the UN, or Bill Clinton, or Mick Jagger, or John Lennon, or whatever liberal person or entity they fear today.

Ronald, Wilson, and Reagan each have 6 letters. There are two beasts in Revelation 13-the 666 beast, which dies, and the dragon which is the power behind the first beast. He who has ears, let him hear.

23. These people are nuts, here are some of the more "odd" responces...
"I think it's really weird that his first name is pronounced the same as the last name of Israel's PM, and his last name rhymes with Osama."

"I heard that, too, that people just wanted to touch him. Why Also gave me the willies.

Now, I do "emote" over politicians -- we almost named DS2 "George" but at the last minute named him after my dad, instead. Another great guy "

"Barack is a member of the ultra-liberal, gay-loving United Church of Christ."

25. One comment that made me do a double-take...
regarding JFK, "By today's standards, Kennedy would be considered a conservative..." So, to that poster, politicians have taken a swing to the LEFT since 1960?

I also found it interesting that most of the "insights," were based solely on their feelings, rather than actually utilizing any brain cells. Kinda like their boy, George.
