"Obama is the Anti-Christ" email sent to my wife from one of her friends...

[Curtland1015]

Check out this shit my wife just got in her email...



A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.


Pause a moment, reflect back.


These events are actual events from history..

They really happened!!!

Do you remember?

1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male extremist.


2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim male extremists.


3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists.


4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim male extremists.


5. In 1983, the US Marin e barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim male extremists.


6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim male extremists.


7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens , and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists.
( remember the pilot of this flight was from Ric hmond, MO)

8. In 1988 , Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists.


9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim male extremists.


10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male extremists.


11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim male extremists.


12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim male extremists.


13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by-- you guessed it-- Muslim male extremists.


No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people... Absolutely No Profiling!

They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males alone lest they be gui lty of profiling.


According to The Book of Revelations:

The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.

This is the part that bothers me and it's hard to overlook.....why take a chance?????

And Now:
For the award winning Act of Stupidity Of all times the People of America want to elect, to the most Powerful position on the face of the Planet -- The Presidency of the United States of America .. A Male of Muslim descent who is the most extremely liberal Senator in Congress (in oth er words an extremist) and in his 40's.


Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason ???

I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the 'unknown' candidate Obama...

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other stupid attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.



WHAT... THE... FUCK?

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[ryanmuegge]

1. I knew this was coming. I'm not surprised. Bible prophecy idiots around here say the same shit.

Nobody can tell shit from the vague, metaphorical "prophecies" in the Bible. Only an idiot would believe that somebody could pull something coherent and relevant to the 21st Century from all of that thirteen-horned beast bullshit.

[TheBigotBasher]

44. Nothing but a Bunch of Bible Bashing Bigots

Old fashioned bigotry with some racism mixed in. To be fair some of the real mad ones even tried it on Dubya as he was too Liberal. These people are going crazy. The fact that Obama is now more than likely to be President after January 20nd terrifies these bigots.

If you believed all of these rumours as well as being a stupid douche bag, you would think Obama is a dangerous racist suicide bombing Islamic Christian, who also serves as the devil and the head of a Communist plot to take over the DNC and Country. He also was not born, has not got a birth certificate and was brought up in Indonesia.

All of these stories get trialled on the dumbest of dumb the PUMA mob. Some of their slogans make it out to the McBush campaign (Country First - sexist attacks on Plain). Other rumours just get spammed. If you really want a good laugh at some people that make Freepers look Liberal, have a read of IncontinentDaughter (aka the Confluence ??), or nothalfbigoted aka Larry Johnsons KKK site. Most of these groups will go away after November, to reappear in 4 years time, and some like Nothalfbigoted will be put on the Security Services watchlist.

[Catch22Dem]

2. Delete it and move on

No reasoning with those dipshits. Waste of time.

[Trajan]

3. I have no such friends ....

If I received such nonsense, it would be clear whomever sent it could have no place in my life ....

Pretty simple ....

[scrappydo]

22. I received similar emails from a Republican "friend"

Stupidity abhors me. She tells me how she ""loves" Bush - I swear she is developing Alzheimer's disease as readily as McCain. She does no independent research - takes all of the talking heads on the far right as "experts" including the likes of Limbaugh. Where are people like my "friend's" heads? I repeat - stupidity abhors me - Stupidity - another name for Republican. :spank:

[Trajan]

26. I have more or less separated myself from my own brothers for this ....

And hey: I love my brothers ... but even they know better than to send THIS kind of shit to me ...

[tulsakatz]

4. I've already seen it.........

..if you go to Snopes, they have a page that basically debunks the whole thing!

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/antichrist.asp

[verges]

21. Y'know....

The Revelation extract talks about a Beast that is mortally wounded and then recovers. Sounds like Reagan to me. Then it goes on to talk about another who praises the first Beast. Therefore, the antichrist will most likely be Republican. :hi:

[tulsakatz]

31. yes, I saw a page a few yrs ago........

...that said Bush is the anti-christ!!

And I'm tempted to believe that.....it makes more sense than Obama being the anti-christ!

[verges]

47. Nah. Not popular enough. n/t

[FrenchieCat]

5. That description of the anti-Christ is not part of Revelation.....

that is a hoax! http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/antichrist.asp

[apnu]

13. Nice going with the snopes.com link (nt)

[HughBeaumont]

40. Freepers are now starting to think Snopes is a left-wing site.

Witness this gem I recently received from an idiot Republican't:

As for Snopes, they are not the Bible (probably a bad reference for you). Snopes has some accurate info and some total fabrications. So strike two.

Uh, there are no fabrications on snopes, stupid. That's kind of the point of the site. Truth DOES tend to have a liberal bias.

[TooRaLoo]

41. My freep uncle actually sent me a World Nut Daily article about how Snopes is biased.

But it's only about ONE Snopes article.

They're willfully stupid.

[MissMarple]

6. Your wife needs to limit her "friends" list.

Blocking junk mail can be a good thing.

[iiibbb]

7. If Obama is the anti-christ you'd think they'd vote for him... the rapture on the way and all.

Don't they want Jesus to come back?

[CakeGrrl]

8. Send them the video of Sarah Palin being prayed over by Bishop Muthee

while someone speaks in tongues in the background. That might at least get your wife off her friend's e-mail list.

[SheilaT]

9. Reply All is your friend. Haver her do a Reply All

with a link to the Snopes debunking.

Also send the 14 Characteristics of Fascism to everyone that got that email.

I did that once and have never gotten another crap email from that person.

[mscuedawg]

10. As a Christian, I see this as total and complete desperate scare tactics...

...I've received the same one from a church member. And with the snopes link, I asked him to no longer keep me on his anti-Obama smear lists....

[NoSheep]

11. gather the facts. put them in an email. send it to everyone on the list you were on.

copy and paste the addresses and give them an education. I'll try to find the one I did and paste it here.

[Kerrytravelers]

12. If you do choose to respond, hit Reply All and use the Snopes links.

And then, personally, I would block these people's emails from your inbox. This kind of nonsense has no place in your inbox.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

14. Jesus these people are stupid

You know, if they're going to base their lives on a book full of fairy tales you'd think they'd at least READ them. The Muslim faith did not exist at the time Revelations was written.

At any rate, if she really does think Obama is the antichrist and it is prophesied by God that the antichrist will return to the earth, then isn't she thwarting the will of God by not voting for Obama.

[cottonseed]

15. I don't see what "reason" has to do with the bible...

:-)

[ITsec]

16. The Bible does NOT say that the supposed "anti christ" is of Muslim decent...

and I dare anybody to find it. The religion of Islam was created long AFTER the book of Revelations was written, which was around the year 70 AD, though some scholars believe it to be as late as 95 AD or so. Muhammad wasn't even born until 570 AD.

I'd say to tell them to do the math, but simple arithmetic might be too much for them. You could try to steer them to Snopes, since it addresses the "muslim anti christ" portion of this particular viral email, although since it's more than 10 words in length, I doubt they will be able to follow that either.

Friggen neanderthals, anyway.

[NoSheep]

17. Here it is. Add the recent financial crisis and send them this.

For starters, Google the term:
Project for a New American Century and click on their Statement of Principals. Better yet! here's the link: http://www.newamericancentury.org/statementofprinciples.htm

Now scroll down to the bottom of this document and look at the members of this organization. The date shows it was written in 1997-before the first election stolen by GW Bush. Recognize any names? Do a search on each name. Just go to Wikipedia and type their names in and read up on their resumes and accomplishments. The current Vice President. His former chief of staff (indicted). GW Bush's own brother. Bush senior's VP. The head of the World Bank (architect of the Iraq invasion) The former secretary of defense, once the head of Searle Labs. You will learn that each is either a felon, has been indicted for a federal crime, or is being investigated or has been investigated by the justice department or has been forced to resign due to scandal or has just slinked back into the rotten underbelly of the neo-conservative bilge. You'll find former associates of terrorists, arms dealers and drug dealers circa the Iran-Contra scandal. You will recognize that many key members found places in the Bush administration's cabinet after 2000. No coincidence, I assure you. Those that were forced to resign, fired or indicted went on to get promotions like becoming the head of the World Bank.(and in that case, got busted again for getting his girlfriend a job...the LEAST of his crimes)
Look into the industries these people have been and are involved with: Oil and Gas, Aerospace and Defense. Drug companies.

Look at a graph of the Dow from 2000 to the present day. Look at how the index has done compared to the Aerospace, Defense & Oil and Gas industries. What more do you need to know?

You're thinking you need to spread some specious slag about Barack Obama?
Please...

Follow the money. OUR money!

These are the men who have been pulling the wool over the eyes of most American people for a good while now. They either own or are MAJOR players in some of the largest corporations. They own the media, which means they control access to information. They determine what you know and what you don't know. THESE are the people you need to learn about. These are the men who are responsible for the destruction of this country.

Do you really think they give a rat's a$$ about you and me? Do you really think they care about so called "family values"? Your rights as an American citizen? Your rights were signed away with the Patriot Act. You became a member of a fascist country when the first election was stolen.

There's so much to know. I swear, I can hardly keep up!

Read this document from the PNAC written Sept 2000.
http://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf
To quote the first paragraph on page 51 of the original document-page 63 of the pdf. "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings about revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catalyzing event-like a new Pearl Harbor."

That one gets me every time.

Finally, one strange, lengthy and very ironic note on Muslims and immigrants.
(which is how this all got started, right?)

Check out the immigrant who was the head of security for Dean Whitter/Morgan Stanley who lost his life trying to save his co-workers on 9/11. His name was Rick Rescorla.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rescorla

His best friend, a convert to Islam, was this scary guy: (from Wikipedia)
Daniel J. Hill (born 1938 in Oak Park, Illinois) joined the United States Army at the age of 15 by lying about his age. He eventually became a Special Forces paratrooper and served in Germany where he participated in missions during the Hungarian Revolution and the struggle for control of Lebanon in 1958.Following his tour in Germany, he was selected for Ranger school at Fort Benning where he was asked to return as an instructor. In 1960 he was assigned to infiltrate the Katanga insurrection in the Congo where he met his lifelong friend, Rick Rescorla.Hill served as a lieutenant during his first tour in Vietnam and a captain during his second. After his first tour he was awarded the Silver Star for heroism at Trung Luong, five Bronze Stars, the Purple Heart, the Army Commendation medal and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Palm Leaf.After retiring from the US Army, he converted to Islam and spent time fighting with the Mujahideen against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.In the meantime, Rescorla had become Director of Security for Dean Witter Securities (later merged with Morgan Stanley), which occupied a number of floors in the World Trade Center. Rescorla had become increasingly concerned about the potential for a terrorist attack against the center and in 1990 hired Hill to provide an assessment of the building's vulnerabilities. Hill singled out the basement parking garage as the obvious point for a car bomb attack, telling Rescorla that if he were a terrorist he would fill a truck with ammonium nitrate and diesel fuel and detonate it in the underground parking garage. Rescorla reported these findings to the New York Port Authority and the New York Police Department but received no official response.In 1993 the World Trade Center bombing took place in almost exactly the manner Hill had predicted.Following the bombing, Rescorla and Hill wrote a report which warned that the next logical step would be a suicide terrorist flying a plane into the building.In 1998 Hill attempted to interest the FBI in a plan to assassinate Osama bin Laden. He proposed working with his Afghani contacts to ambush bin Laden as he drove between Kandahar and Kabul but the plan was rejected. In 2001, his contacts told him that a major attack against the US was imminent and he attempted to revive the plan but was again turned down by the FBI.That's a lot to think about....it's confusing...Mercenaries? Heroes? In the wrong place at the wrong time? Inside, outside? Both sides? They don't seem like dumb guys to me.
The neo-cons know we're all just too busy putting food on the table; too trusting or just too scared to ask questions...too bigoted to reject the dominate paradigm. Making a big car payment. They've got us right where they want us: paying taxes and carrying guns and sending our kids to fight for oil and waving flags and watching "reality" television. They've redefined truth.
As long as we are scared of Islamic terrorists, the more we will comply with their wishes...and that is to strip every civil liberty we have from us and make us beg for their crumbs. Why do you think they keep provoking more terrorism?

PS THis was written before they said they would steal billions more to bail out their buddies in the financial industry

[burrowowl]

18. I've always thought

it was Bill Gates (Windooz) or Bu$hCo!

[These Eyes]

19. What I find so disturbing is

that the Christians who believe this email are just too lazy or ignorant (or both) to check what is actually written in the Bible. I can understand someone who doesn't read the Bible not knowing that the information in the email is false, but Christians should know the difference. I don't even listen to a sermon in church without checking the scriptures against what the preacher is saying. I wish people would stop being so stupid!

[jberryhill]

20. Aside from the fact that Islam post-dates the Bible... Sirhan Sirhan was a Maronite Christian

And I don't know about the Munich terrorists in particular, but not all Palestinians are Muslims. Many are in fact descended from the original Christians.

[PerfectSage]

23. Bush has destroyed everything. I didn't realize he was of muslim descent.

According to The Book of Revelations:

The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.

[pklaz96]

24. The rebuttal.

I received a few anti-Obama emails from acquaintances on my email list a few months ago. Instead of replying and arguing, or just deleting, I did some research on the supposed author of the original email.
In each instance, I was able to refute completely the falsehoods in the originals. I then attached the evidence of the erroneous attacks, and emaled to EVERYONE on any of the emails, those who had been copied, etc. Guess what, not a word from anyone. And - the BS stopped coming to me, anyway.
Too bad that at least one of them could have acknowledged their mistakes.

[Hekate]

25. Where to even begin with this steaming pile. There were NO Muslims at the time of Jesus...

... not until the 6th Century AD.

John F. Kennedy was assassinated by a White Male Extremist.
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated by a White Male Extremist.
The Oklahoma City bombing was carried out by two White Male Extremists.
The Manson Family was led by a White Male Extremist.
The attempted assassinations of Presidents Ford and Reagan were carried out by White Extremists.
All of the violence and murder aimed at abortion providers (doctors, nurses, clinics) has been carried out by White Male Extremists.
The Weather Underground was led by White Male Extremists.

Most of the radical violence in this country is carried out by White Male Extremists. Lock up your sons!!!!

Christ on a Trailer Hitch, this makes me tired.

Others in this thread are giving you a lot of info and links to Snopes and such. Go for it, I say, and blast back with a Reply All that includes every address you can retrieve from this much-forwarded piece of crap. Usually people don't bother to clean up the headers when they hit Forward, so you may be able to retrieve quite a few.

I did that with an acquaintance who kept sending me incendiary spam, and two people wrote me back to say thank you for speaking up. Of course my former friend didn't thank me, but she finally did as I requested and took me off her mailing list.

Best of luck.

Hekate

[quakerboy]

27. Wait... that means we get the fundie vote, right?

I mean, they want the end of the world, the rapture, etc, right? So if Obama is the anti-Christ, shouldn't that make them eager to see him brought to power ASAP?

[SayitAintSo]

28. I don't let any of this SH*T go by unchallenged....

When I get it ... THEY get a response....

[Clio the Leo]

29. (quickly thumbing through Revelations to find any reference to a moose shooter...) NT

[anneboleyn]

30. Also, it happens to be "Revelation" singular, not plural, but it doesn't surprise me the author of

the email gets the title of his reference wrong. It is "Revelation." This is a common error. I doubt the author of the email has even actually read it and I promise you that he has not ever looked at the centuries of commentary/scholarship on it that historicize its many difficult and obscure references.

[AmericanUnity]

32. 4 years ago John Kerry was the Anti-Christ. I got the emails to prove it! LOL Don't sweat it :-)

[Warren DeMontague]

33. How the fuck can Obama "destroy everything"? There's nothing LEFT after Bush's reign of error.

What, he's going to smoosh the giant fucking heaps of smoking rubble that Bush has turned our economy, our treasury, our standing in the world into?

Oooh, scary.

And that, of course, is thanks to the fundy fucking doofuses who put him in office-- twice. The same fundy doofuses who write this gibberish.

[vanderBeth]

34. This is a bunch of xenophobic crap.

She neglected to list terrorist acts committed by Christians.

And one big thing undercuts this whole email- Obama's not a Muslim.

[boppers]

35. "muslim" isn't in the bible. eom

[Swamp Rat]

36. Palin is a moose-eating alien lizard

Protect your children! :hide:

[Waiting For Everyman]

37. Revelation doesn't say "40s" and doesn't say "muslim". Demand a cite.

If possible from whoever sent this - ask him/her to give a chapter and verse citation. It isn't in Revelation. More lies.

[olegramps]

38. Muslim Descent?

And Now:
For the award winning Act of Stupidity Of all times the People of America want to elect, to the most Powerful position on the face of the Planet -- The Presidency of the United States of America .. A Male of Muslim descent who is the most extremely liberal Senator in Congress (in oth er words an extremist) and in his 40's.


How can the Revelations foretell that the anti-Christ will be of Muslim descent when Muslims did exist until 600 years later? This only demonstrates just how ignorant some of these end-time nitwit McCain-Palin supporters are.

[magdalena]

39. I remember in '04

when my mother received a "Kerry is the Antichrist" flier on her car's windshield. These fundie psychotics are constantly pulling the same fear-mongering shit.

[slewfoot]

42. So help me out here...

If fundamentalist so look forward to the return of Christ. And his return is precipitated by the emergence of an "anti christ".
And now their belief is that Obama is this "anti christ"; wouldn't it be in their best interest to vote for Obama to facilitate
this anticipated event? Personally, I think they're "bat shit" crazy.

[Reader Rabbit]

43. Reply all: "You've stopped taking your medication again, haven't you?" n/t

[renie408]

45. Well, this email is right about one thing...some people are REALLY insulated from reality.

To the point of insanity.

[phleshdef]

46. They said the same garbage about Reagan...

...which, if I were the anti-christ, I would be insulted by the comparison.

But still, I don't put much stock in the effects of those kinds of rumors. For the people that believe in that sort of thing, anyone who becomes politically popular is the potential anti-christ.
