Obama Heckled At Los Angeles Fundraiser (VIDEO)

AP/The Huffington Post   First Posted: 09/26/2011 11:03 pm Updated: 11/26/2011 4:12 am

(AP/The Huffington Post) LOS ANGELES — A heckler shouting about Jesus Christ interrupted President Barack Obama at a fundraiser before security dragged him out.

It happened at the House of Blues in Los Angeles Monday night.

The man positioned himself up in front of the stage and started shouting loudly right after Obama started talking. The heckler proclaimed that "Jesus Christ is God" and a Christian God. According to Real Clear Politics, the outburst was met with boos from the crowd at the event.

Obama stopped talking. Then after a moment the crowd started chanting "Four more years! Four more years!" and drowned out the heckler.

As he was taken out by security the man called out that Obama is an antichrist.

Later, another, more-friendly heckler shouted out, "Don't forget medical marijuana!" Obama responded: "Thank you for that."

"What do you suppose they will do if God ends up being black?"

If He came back into the world today, they would crucify him too and would treat him with the racist hearts they have...funny thing is this, when we die, the white folks that is, we all turn black very quickly.

I think this was unnecessary, but the Bible does warn of people who proclaim they are with Christ to the public but in truth are not. Obama is one of these people. Not to say Obama is a muslim, but when he stutters as he did, it was not because he was nervous as someone just called him the antichrist, but because he was not completely sure when put under this kind of pressure

SO F*** The ANTIChrist

A wise man once said, Do not worry who is the anti christ, worry more the anit christ does not enter you. For like Christ said when asked in His time and present, who was the anti christ, Jesus replied, there are many christ all around you. And that was in Jesus time. Sound advice. For God said I Will not man. But what is written must come to pass and know God said I AM victorious along with His 10,000 angels. God said I Will, is so true not man. Love all dearly, for all are dearly loved.

Very few thought Bush was the anti-christ. He wasn't competent enough.

I know who I am voting for to be a south carolina congressmen... honestly if I happened to be a conservative this would annoy me a lot more because this just affirms all of the things liberals always say...not that this fellow represents the majority or even 2 percent of republicans but he did heckle the president

"Obama Heckled by Shouting Man."

Why can't hecklers be more polite and merely state their positions in a moderate tone?

Because that would be having a reasonable discussion; not heckling.

Besides, people who shout about the antichrist tend not to be terribly reasonable.

That's like asking why we can't have square triangles.

Better to ask why there are hecklers at all, but I fear that will never be answered.

Not a libber  (whatever that is) but I see no problem with the President of the United States stating what he believes.  Do you believe?

It doesn't surprise me that you can't figure out what a "libber" is but that's a different topic.

As for me, I do believe.

Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

Oh, the religious. Always out of touch and attempting to influence those around them with their archaic views about things. Guess this guy just couldn't contain himself any longer having, as he saw it, identified the "anti-christ". Good thing for security, as you never know how far these people will go to demonstrate their "faith".

So you are a person who believes that our president is the anti_ch-rist, the most evil being to walk the planet in 2,000 years.

And your solution to this predicament is to donate $250 to this man's reelection campaign.

Bravo, sir. Bravo.
