The History Channel today denied claims about devil looking like Obama. But...

[The Straight Story]

The History Channel today denied claims that have been making the rounds on Twitter, including Glenn Beck, that the character depicting Satan in “The Bible” docudrama looks like President Obama. But WorldNetDaily thinks that the supposed resemblance is further proof that Obama is demonic, once again alleging that President Obama may be the Satanic deity Beelzebub, or Lord of the Flies, because flies have landed on him. In an article today, WND executive news director Joe Kovacs points to four incidences since 2008 where flies were present at a press conference or interview.

Kovacs cites RevelationNow.net, which also believes that Beyonce is possessed by demons and that her Super Bowl performance represented demonic brainwashing, to imply that “Obama is possessed by a demonic entity.”

In case you aren’t convinced by the fact that Obama is demonic because he has had to swat away flies (which no one else has ever done) and because Beck thinks that a character playing the Devil in a TV show kind of looks like him, Kovacs also notes that on November 5, 2008, the Illinois Pick 3 lottery number was 666.

Case closed.

1. Is this the first thread about this?

I wonder why?

In my opinion, Burnett and his over botoxed wife, who incidently believes she is the character she played in that creepy show, went out of their way to find an actor who looked like the president. Face facts. This is red meat for bible thumpers, who hate this president

[The Straight Story]

2. Nope, several threads. But this one has the crazy factor :) (nt)

[amuse bouche]

5. Ok

I haven't seen other threads about it and am surprised more people aren't disgusted by these morons Burnett and Downey

Mrs. Carter's stage full of nothing but
women of color is still haunting them I see...

[chervilant]

4. Unbelievable!!!

Is Te Stoopid getting worse?!?

[marions ghost]

6. Anyone who doesn't see the obvious?

Anyone out there who doesn't see that this is an "aged" Obama face?

Crickets I expect.

The History Channel is conservative & often twisted. They know very well that this is intended to whip people up.

Intentional. For sure.

[NaturalHigh]

9. I don't see it.

This seems like a tinfoil hat thing to me. Crazies have to have something to get pumped about.

[marions ghost]

14. The fact that the crazies can use it

indicates that they see the clear resemblance. I'm not crazy and I and others around here see it also.

But if you don't, all right.

[NaturalHigh]

15. Maybe it's in the eye of the beholder.

[marions ghost]

17. I don't think you can deny the resemblance of the actor to Barack

...whether it was intentional doppleganger or not is a matter of opinion.



OK you can't see Satan's ears, but...

[NaturalHigh]

19. I commented yesterday that I thought it looked like one of the Darth characters.

If you think it looks like Obama, you're certainly welcome to your opinion. I just don't see it.

7. Treating the Bible as a historical document is a good clue that...

the History Channel is not all that fussed about being accurate or trusted.

8. didn't see your post

because of the title. LOL
Guess we thought on the same lines.

10. You can never over expose the crazy

[Ichingcarpenter]

12. Flies were obscuring my monitor

at the time ..damn that demonic possession.

[Coyotl]

11. What, do all black people look alike or something?

They look very different!

[ChazII]

13. My thoughts as well. n/t

[siligut]

18. The actor is only made to look black

He actually looks more middle-eastern and nothing like BO.

16. Superstition and the RW

Superstition is a manipulative tactic used throughout human history and while I am hesitant to believe the Lottery was rigged, what Kovacs failed to point out is that the series 666 had already been drawn 3 times in 2008. The numbers are only 1-9, it is statistically bound to happen.

And as far as Satan in a mini-series looking like our president, well that is casting and make-up. So if these assholes want to make a big deal out of it, they only have to look so far as the humans who made those choices.

But if the crazy RWers want to believe it has anything to do with some divine power, they will find a way.

Flies? Really?

[northoftheborder]

20. The choice of making Satan out to be a person of color is bad enough, by itself.

[Dpm12]

21. They look nothing alike

And even if he does, I'm pretty sure it is coincidence

[Myrina]

22. I thought the flies like him 'cause he smells good ...

.... you know, the "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar" sort of thing?

Ceratinly doesn't smell like last week's empty bourbon bottle like Boehner & W do ...
