Glenn Beck Watch: \'Is Obama The Anti-Christ?\'

Glenn Beck Watch: 'Is Obama The Anti-Christ?'

March 5, 2008 10:23 AM



While thousands of Americans went to the polls last night, flushed with the civic pride and enthusiasm that comes when careful consideration and a sense of responsibility culminates in the casting of a vote, CNN's Glenn Beck was honoring the day over at his eponymous Headline News show. There, he was brave enough to ask the tough questions - if, by "brave" we mean "obtuse" and by "tough" we mean "inane."

Yea, verily, last night, Glenn Beck hosted anti-Catholic bigot/fervent John McCain supporter John Hagee. And lo, there was a sound that arose from deep in Beck's wordhole. And those sounds formed a question that sounded out across the airwaves unto disbelieving ears. That question: "Is Barack Obama the anti-Christ."

We are not making this up. Glenn Beck, serious newsman, needed to find out if Barack Obama was the Devourer of Worlds, Son of Harlots, Bearer of the Mark of the Beast. John Hagee had to be thrilled by the question: somehow, Beck managed to make Hagee look reasonable.

Jesus wept. Watch for yourself:

BECK: Let me ask you, I get so much e-mail on this and I think a lot of people do, and I've got a couple of seconds. They say Glenn, you and the media, you got to wake up. Barack Obama's making people faint and cry and everything else. He's drawing people in. There are people -- they said this about Bill Clinton -- that actually believe he might be the anti-Christ. Odds that Barack Obama is the anti-Christ.


HAGEE: No chance. He has a lot of charisma. There's a media love affair with him right now. He is a very formidable political person. I believe the best leader for America in the future is John McCain.

BECK: Thank you very much, pastor. Back in just a second. That's good news, at least where I stand.

Did anyone here watch the Beck the Christian call Obama the Anti-Christ? I would guess no. He laughingly said he gets e-mail from "crazies" questioning whether Obama is the anti-Christ....he clearly laughs at the "crazies" he is refering to. Then he asks Hagee (again laughing at the idea) if Barak is the Anti-Christ.

All liberal bloggers need these days as "proof" that something is fact, is another liberal bloggers opinion of another liberal blog. Wake up!

Now, back to my illegal war and torture camp.

Is Glenn Beck the anti-Christ? Reverend Hagee? See, I can play that game, too.

I refuse to let the pseudo-con pendejos steal my God. Remember when the Civil Rights and anti-war movement were heavily populated with clergy? Just like our flag- it's OURS, not to be co-opted by un-American jerks like these. How the moron Beck remains on the air is absolutely beyond me- CNN should be ashamed (yeah, I know- it's 'ratings': next decade- every night female nude mud-wrestling newscasts...)

Never mind the Anti-Christ; beware the Anti-Pasto.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 04:47 PM on 03/06/2008

It's official. When so-called Christians, the spearheaders of illegal wars and torture camps, refer to a man espousing diplomacy and peace as the Anti-Christ, we have officially brought God down to our level. It would appear that we have more to concern ourselves with from the Christians than the Muslims, as they are greater in number and just as radical.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 04:27 PM on 03/06/2008

Not only, in this instance, have we brought God down to our level, but mankind has always done so! All one has to do is take an objective look at history.

There's been much sophistry, in the recent past, about the separation of church and state. But historically, there has never been a saparation of church and the "state" of affairs! For when we humanize God, via religion, we are then able to clothe the nakedness of our killing and call it war!!

Of course, the Bible tells us, in Revelations, Chapter 9, Verse 11, that the Anti-Christ is afflicted with and does suffer from the hemorrhoids, and I know from my personel experiences that a pillow would be nice at those times when they flare up. And I venture to say that the Anti-Christ's hemmoroids are probably always 'flaring'. That may be one reason he's so irritable and wants to destroy all the inhabitants of the Earth and take their souls to hell to burn in the greatest barbeque of all time, but I digress...

Is Hillary's suggestion that newscasters should offer Obama a pillow a way of her saying Obama is the Anti-Christ?

Nah. I don't support him as president but he's not evil.

Plus he doesn't meet any of the requirements like having horns or more than one head.

So don't worry folks!

Here's a stronger in-your-face code that idiots like Beck don't care to even look at,
All the while acting as if he is -Oh -so concsious of all the signs around him:

George.... 6 letters
Walker.... 6 letters
Bush II.... 6 letters

Being that Bush II is plainly stating WHO and WHAT he is.
The Book said it would be a religious person and evil would work through him. Thousands. perhaps even Millions have died on his watch. Her has thrown the world economy into chaos for the benefit of the priviledged. There it is, right in front of your noses, you religious freaks.

Why don't you make us a comment on that, Beck, you sniveling idiot?

Recipe for home remedy that kills unwanted enthusiasm on contact:

Take a nationally syndicated news program

Add

Two parts white men

Mix in names of people who threaten the status quo

Add

two parts insinuation of danger

let simmer for pregnant pause

top with

divisive buzz words

Let sit over night

And

Presto! Enthusiasm relief

Apply conservatively to affected areas.

Repeat as needed.

Note: If enthusiam persists for more that 24 hours. Seek imediate AM talk radio attention

Divide and conquer, divide and conquer. Quit following "religion" and start following the "money".
Who owns CNN, who owns MSNBC, who owns Fox? Our only real hope is that "THEY" will "NEVER" own the "INTERNET".
Is there anyone out there who can think outside of the "perverbial" box?
Israel needs land; we need oil; it's that simple!
Don't look now but "WE'VE" outsourced "OUR" government to the lobbyists.

I don't know how anyone could watch that show. Between the faces and weird voices, he strikes me as a goofy yet strangely evil clown. Who can take him seriously?
If I saw someone expressing themselves like Beck in public, I would figure they had something wrong with them. I'd sure as heck keep children away from him.
Really, I'd wonder how his show can stay on the air but then US has become a country where intellectuals are held in distain while men like Hagee and Howard Stern are exaulted.

It's so unfair how the media gives Obama such special treatment.

Do you need a pillow?

Are you the Anti-Christ?

Typical of many neocons, Beck is a hate monger who believes he is right and anyone who disagrees with him is stupid, unAmerican and evil. However when Romney was criticized for on his being a Mormon, mostly by the far right religious conservatives, Beck who is also Mormon realed in disbelief and anguish that any one could be so hateful and uninformed.

They are feeding the ignorance that our institution has built.

What is it they are so affraid of?

People are all the same and the crap they sell is what perpetuates the beliefs that seperate us.

see, those who are really in charge do not want the PEOPLE united just the STATES.

That's why you see HATE shows like GLEN BECKs.

I saw recently on tv how Nostradamus predicted Napoleon and Hitler then said the third reign of terror would be by someone named MABA. Could he have meant Obama?

Yes he could have meant Obama, and he could have meant my neighbor Bob, and he could have meant any one of several billion people who now inhabit the planet. if you had to ask, you obviously don't know what he meant. Neither does anyone else. What he meant is almost as irrelevant as you are.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 11:49 AM on 03/06/2008

What a happy person you must be. Now I wonder what makes Nostrodamus so note worthy as history passes? There must be some value in what he has written. My reply to Beck's statement was simply what I heard on TV on a History channel program concerning the Anti Christ (if you believe as many do that one will come) as I stated in my comment. I make no judgement as to whether or not it is true, simply passing along the info. I was always told to believe none of what I hear and only half of what I see. Oh, better watch out for that neighbor Bob, I'm sure he doesn't know that you feel that way about him.

It's guys like him and the rest of the miscreant HATE JOCKS on radio and tv who have turned radio and tv into the Devil's Outhouse and a place of utter disgust and disgrace. and not worhty of the eyes that they provide their profane and abhorrent disservice to. Shame on all of these miscreant social contrarians and sell out scallywags from hell!

I'm not surprised by this. Glenn Beck asked Rep. Ellison, the congressman from Minnesota who is also a muslim to "prove to me you're not a terrorist...". I mean...he asked this of an man just ELECTED to the CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

So again....nothing surprises me about Glenn Beck.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 12:33 AM on 03/06/2008

Glen Beck is an effing idiot! This is what passes for intelligent dialog nowadays. And he is a true representative of the cesspool that is CNN. Idiotic Wolf Blitzer, Candy Crowley and Anderson Cooper along with the silly (even if likeable) Larry King. Hatemonger Lou Dobbs along with pretentious, wannabe Suzanne Malveaux, Dana Bash, Campbell and the one in the morning. The only one worth listening to over there is Cafferty. We should all boycott that channel for a week. If some-one organizes that just let me know.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 11:36 PM on 03/05/2008

MOrmons don't believe in an anti Christ, but I guess a pill popping druggie like Beck might forget that from time to time.

Bush IS a rapture, Armageddon "bring it on" "Christian" fanatic but Beck won't talk about that.

Everybody knows Nancy Reagan is the anti-Christ. She fed Ronny the words " he just spoke them and, as such, she was our first female president (sorry Hillary). The zodiac stuff, the 666 street address. How much more irrefutable ala Fox News evidence to you need?
