This clown has finally gone too far. (WARNING--not for the faint of heart)
I'm not generally in favor of shining a light on various conservative TV-radio-Internet personalities, since they're usually a pretty clownish lot, and of course none of us believe a word they're saying. However, the guy in this video--James David Manning--has crossed the line from fiery political agitprop into something truly horrific.

If the name sounds familiar, it's because he's gained a tiny bit of publicity for being both black and vehemently anti-Obama. This guy latched onto various BHO conspiracies--Jeremiah Wright, Larry Sinclair, Oprah, the CIA, Marxism, and especially Birtherism. But the death of Osama Bin Laden seems to have pushed him right over the edge. In his latest video (linked below), Manning claims:

* Obama is the Antichrist

* Obama is in collusion with a powerful network of Muslims, Jews, and Illuminatis

* Manning is being given clear instructions by God

* You must listen to no one other than Pastor Manning--no news reports, no Republic politicians--to hear The Truth

* Prophesied events spearheaded by the Antichrist are about to come to pass in the near future, and only those "anointed by the blood of God" can stop him.

Scary, cultish stuff, right? The guy has all the tricks of the demagogue down pat, from the hypnotic, repetitive delivery to the fraudulent vestiges of legitimacy (Dr., Pastor, etc.) But I've never encountered a cult leader who had such a singular political target in his sights. Bottom line: Manning is clearly inciting his followers into violence against the President, and I'm astonished that his many rambling, oddly well-produced videos are allowed to remain posted on YouTube.

The proof of this violent intent is right there in the title of the video: http://www.youtube.com/user/ATLAHWorldwide#p/u/1/urdLQzP78VQ

14. Way back in grade school I unfortunately wore a yellow sweater on Thursday
Jimmy Parks wore a plaid shirt with yellow in it, and my ubersophisticated classmates told me that that meant we were both queer and I'd have to kiss him. Your basic small town midwestern cluefulness...

I don't care what loopy shit he believes, but he clearly stated he wants to "take down" Obama. If he truly runs a ministry, his tax exempt status should be yanked, and his lying ass should be thrown in jail. You don't get to make threats against the President. Fuck that...

7. Not surprising. Tons 'o cash to be made.
Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, Clarence Thomas. The ignorant hold them up and say, "See? See? He's a nigrah jest like Obama and even HE don't like Obama! What more proof do you need? He's one o' the Good Ones!!"

Ignorance is a growth industry in 'Merkka.

9. This guy is crazy-stupid-smart
Look around at all these crazy preachers with followers sending all their money to them.

Look around, you see Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. They have tons of followers.

So why not be an insane mixture of both? The guy may actually be smart at bringing in money.

10. UPDATE--had an idea.
If you have a YouTube account, flag the video. Manning's church's account has apparently been suspended by YouTube numerous times but keeps popping back up somehow.

17. Not for the rational of mind.
I smell someone is very disappointed that Obama is more famous than him.

(FFS Oprah, Jeremiah Wright and Obama in a threesome! I need mind bleach)

Edited on Mon May-09-11 12:17 PM by truedelphi
A great grand father <maternal side, I presume> who applied for and received a Social Security card in the 1890's?

All as some part of a plot to establish the family history that Obama would need over a hundred years later when running for the Illinois Senate.

And despite the stupidity of all that, the story gets repeated all over Freeperville, as further proof of Obama's nefarious denial of his foreign roots.
