35 percent of NJ conservative voters think Obama may be the Anti-Christ

[migopod]

I think Rene Roch is the anti-Christ, and that the first sign of Armageddon is mothers eating their children... while wearing visor masks.

R-

Have you ever tried to eat children while wearing a visor mask? I think your vision of Armageddon will never happen because of a physically impossible first sign.

As far as the study, I think it would be pretty cool if Obama was the antichrist. Wouldn't that give him some kind of awesome super-powers?

You conservatives are glossing over the importance of the Anti-Christ figure in the mythology of a fair-size portion of the US population (snip) sedevacantists (snip)

Wow. Rep for information and incredible new word I never heard of before. You can learn things on f.net!

[dcmdale]

So I went on an looked at the actual report:

The big surprise here–the group of voters most likely to think Obama is the Anti-Christ are … Hispanics, who solidly backed Obama in 2008. Only 58 percent of them say, for sure, that their president is not Satan come to wreak havoc here on earth.

I dunno. We usually associate evangelicalism with concerns about the antichrist: Either the poll is flawed, Catholics are starting to freak about eschatology, or people thought the question (or poll) was a joke.

R-

Nonsense! It's impossible to eat any solid food while wearing a visor mask and it's darn difficult to put those kids into a blender.

[Capt. Slo-mo]

Not that most parents haven't been tempted to put their kid in a blender from time to time...

Or D1WS, but what's the difference

I wouldn't call it irrelevant exactly, but it's certainly nothing new. People have thought they were in the end of times since... well, just about forever. Accusing leaders of being the Anti-Christ seems pretty normal, considering they seem to be the best chance considering the signs... .

So no, it's not exactly irrelevant - but it's an awful lot of hoopla going around for nothing new (and I didn't hear much of this hoopla when it was happening to Bush). Run a few searches on Google, or even Youtube. Aside from funny stuff, there is some creepy stuff people still think about Bush being the Anti-Christ.

This isn't a conservative or liberal problem - it's whoever happens to be on the other side of the fence when a leader gets in power (especially in times of extreme partisanship among people, like now).

[Hauptman]

Yes, but its worse for Obama. People and the media are unfair and mean to him. Its not fair. Just ask Jeff or AshleySimpleton.

Liberals need to grow another layer of skin or 2 or 3.

And you need to a get a clue, Slim. Name calling is one thing, actually believing that Obama is the anti-Christ is another. At this point I wouldn't expect you to see the difference.

But then we've got people out there burning everything that isn't the KJV bible. So go ahead and defend the whackos, Slim.

I read that story, and yes, they are wackos! But there is no correlation between them and the belief that Obama is the antichrist, except they are both wackos. Who knows, they may have voted for Obama!

I think it is just a way for them to get attention. I'm surprised they aren't also burning copies of the Torah or the Koran also. But that would be too offensive. Book burning, what an embarrassment!

The world is a scary place. There are actually people who believe that you should die because you are an infidel and dont practice Islam. Yes, you should die! Scary!!!

I'd bet there are more of them than people who believe Obama is the anti-christ. And, I bet a good number of them live in New Jersey too. But, I'd guess you're not too worried about those people. They're just misunderstood, yes? And I bet they are a lot better armed and willing to martyr themselves than some bible thumpers.

Stay inside and lock your doors if all of this is too much for you.

FTR, anybody over the age of 8 who routinely talks to an imaginary friend makes me nervous. I don't care who they think they're talking to.

Nice strawmen, as usual, Slim.

But I'm worried about all terrorists and wackos, Slim, not just the Muslim types that you seem obsessed with.

Was it a Muslim extremist that blew up a gov't building in Oklahoma? Is it Muslim extremists killing doctors? Was it a Muslim extremist that planted a bomb at the Atlanta Olympics? Are all those death threats against the President coming from Muslim extremists?

Give it a rest, Slim. Let us know if you ever have anything constructive to add to a discussion instead of your usual rants against anything said by a possible liberal.

You're right. Those were all done by the "Obama is the Antichrist Brigade - East Jersey Chapter".

Since I hate commuting do you know if they have a chapter in North Jersey?

I just love how so called liberals always assume all evil emanates from the Republican Party. While it wasn't a Muslim extremist that blew up the government building in Oklahoma City, Timothy McVeigh was a registered Democrat and claimed to be agnostic. And Kaczynski was an assistant professor at Berkley, the liberal capital of the world, with ties to the Nationalist Socialist Party. Maybe the real threat to society is agnostic democrats!

Hmmmm.... did I miss something? Where exactly did I say anything about Republican terrorists, or blame Republicans in any way?

Feeling a little guilty about anything, BB? That's some great Freudian activity going on there.
