Latest email smear: Barack Obama is the Antichrist

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

You knew the viral smear emails were headed this way, and a reader sends it along, courtesy of a relative in Syracuse: One of the standard anti-Obama emails in circulation, but with a top added to go the extra half-yard, and actually assert that Obama is ... wait for it ... the Antichrist.

Obama 'Frightens Me'. The Bible has warned us that 'A man will come from the East that will be charismatic in nature and have proposed solutions for all our problems and his rhetoric will attract many supporters!'

When will our pathetic Nation quit turning their back on God and understand that this man is 'A Muslim'....First, Last and always....and we are AT WAR with the Muslim Nation, whether our bleeding-heart, secular, Liberal friends believe it or not. This man fits every description from the Bible of the 'Anti-Christ'!

I'm just glad to know that there are others that are frightened by this man!

The rest of the email, which I won't reprint, is of the now standard "Who is Barack Obama" variety, peddling an amalgam of smears.

...

Also, if you had any doubts that this stuff, no matter how wild-eyed, is having an impact: The share of Americans who believe Obama is a Muslim has doubled, according to the new NBC/WSJ poll, to 13%.

I think that's rather more frightening (and telling) than stats on what people think about the war.

Are 13% of people really this ignorant?

I don't know if it's 13% or not, but you might be surprised who believes this stuff. Many are the neo-cons from the AARP voters block.

Anyone who reads these sort of emails is an idiot.

I'm actually surprised it's only 13%. I'd expect at least 20.

*Affects best Chandler tone* "Could the Bible be any more vague?"

We should do a poll.

Well a lot more voted for Bush in 2004 and 2000.

Yeah, well I just invented good luck superballs. They're blue and red, and guaranteed to make you win the lottery*. Only $19.99 each.

That 13% -

They're going to make me a millionaire.

XD

*( You are guaranteed to win a lottery prize. This may be any amount from the $1.00 booby prize, to the jackpot. You must play daily to win prize, or the ball won't work. See, my claims are true!)

Well a lot more voted for Bush in 2004 and 2000.

I voted for the Bush in 2000. Why?

Because Gore was Bills #######.

I voted 3rd party in 2004. Why?

Because it was not Bush, and it was not a Democrat.

On a side note, it doesn't matter who I vote for ... except in local elections. Because my state is a hardline blue state. No question.

( Yet surprisingly, our Republican governor won by a landslide. )

Yeah, enough fools have voted for Bush in the past... I guess you can't remind yourself that some criticize making proposals during a candidacy while having previously supported an ape that has blatantly disregarded common sense during a term in office. At least the mistake wasn't followed up the second time around... although the ape was allowed to continue his game.

Actually, If I had to guess, I'd say the American public consists of NO LESS that 75% IDIOTS (on BOTH sides of the political spectrum)

Why do you think the founding fathers had the foresight to create the electoral college?

I'll tell you why they did, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS LOLOLOL

They did it because "Rome is the MOB" (taken from the movie Gladiator, circa 2000)

Speaking from the (ahem) other 25% I'm glad most of my fellow 25 "percenters" are here in this great forum known as visajourney.com

Salute to all and good luck !!!
