@ 2:30, if you want to skip to it.

What worried me most when seeing this is that they have been calling President Obama the Antichrist, isn't the Antichrist also known as "The Beast"? Also, the use of a Thomas Jefferson quote at the end was quite disturbing...

Secret Service should get a copy of this...

2. I initially thought so too...
and then it clicked that it could also be interpreted the other way by one of these unhinged loons who are stockpiling guns and listen to people like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMt8YYPkoxE">this.

I just carried out a search on Youtube using the words Obama is antichrist and the http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=obama+is+antichrist&aq=0&oq=obama+is+anti">results were quite astonishing, as were the google http://www.google.com/search?q=obama+is+antichrist&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8">results...

When you change 'antichrist' for 'beast' you get a lot of things about his car, there are a few that talk about "Obama and the mark of the beast", though.

5. I looked at some of those sites and as upset as I was with Bush
I was never as radical as any of these people. This crazy and scary lynch mob mentality has been sown, tended, and organized by Fox, so called,news. How is it that there is no accountability for their actions and there push for these nuts to turn to violence.

Obama is trying help our nation recover from the harm that the Bush administration brought. He is doing what we have charged him to do as our President.

What a bunch of loonies!

3. What does "Kill the Beast mean?" What or who is the beast?
There is no respect for our Democracy and the will of our national election.
This is a very scary movement.

A real hatefest going on over there in far-right wackodom.

Edited on Sat Apr-18-09 07:41 AM by Turborama
Holy shit! That's hilarious!!

It is a spoof site, right?

BTW, did you check this one out? beastobama.com/contact.html

I find it quite scary, sinister and dark, at least that one's funny...

16. Landoverbaptist.org
Edited on Sat Apr-18-09 10:00 AM by The Wizard
is a spoof of Westboro Baptist (God Hates Fags).
The letters sent to them from people who don't know it's a joke are very funny.
I sent someone an article from landoverbaptist.org and they said to never send another email.

19. Sorry, I thought you were talking about the same site I was, just had a look and it seems very dodgy
Edited on Sat Apr-18-09 11:04 AM by Turborama
There's hardcore porn banners and some of the topics don't seem very liberal. I wouldn't be surprised if it's some sort of honey-pot trap set up by wingnuts to do some data gathering but I couldn't say for sure, it's impossible to see who's running it.

In fact, the more I look at it the more totally fucked up it seems.

If anyone else reading this wants to check its nastiness out, it's: theobamaforum.com

21. Double meaning.
(1) Usually "starve the beast," a right-wing phrase in which "beast" refers to government, and you're supposed to "starve" it of tax revenue by refusing to work and pay (as much) taxes, or with deep tax cuts. (2) Lately however, some of the real apocalyptic cons have been touting the line that Obama mayt be the Antichrist.

8. hell, if the 'movement' is so powerful, McCain would be in office plain and simple

He's not.

It's not.

Nuff said.

must be wishing they had these people to help them out. Talk about fellow travelers.

11. It's a line from _Lord of the Flies_.
http://www.cdrnet.net/kb/data/EN_Golding.asp

Jack and friends are having a feast with the roast pig. They go into a frenzy state, chanting "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!" Simon appears, and the wild boys call him the beast and kill him. Only Ralph, Piggy and the twins remain together. All the other boys have joined wild Jack. The fight for leadership reaches a climax, when Jack turns violent. His hunters steal Piggy's glasses, smash the conch, drag the twins off and Roger hurls a boulder over a ledge, killing Piggy. The next day Jack prepares to hunt down Ralph and kill him.

17. Book of Revelation
It can also refer to The Beast of Revelation, who is the devil incarnate and rules the world as a prelude to the Second Coming. He is the one the end timers like to scare themselves over and refer to as the Anti-Christ.

14. These people are being goaded into assassinating President Obama.
Every day FOX's propagandists are filling the airwaves with hatred that is solely intended to incite someone to kill Obama just as the racist bastards did in regard to Rev. King. This is their intent and if they are successful it could result in a civil war in which I would gladly participate. Kill the Beast, of the Lord of the Flies, could take on a wholly different identity. These people are inciting treason and should be treated as such.

18. The first thing I thought of was the chorus from "the mob song"
From Beauty and the Beast, in which the antagonist Gaston, riles up the simpleton villagers. He works them up into a frenzy by scaring the crap out of them, pointing out that it's definitely not like them, and then they go get their torches and pitchforks.

20. Wait a minute...isn't the far right supposed to be the one with morals?
What do the Mormon and Catholic churches think about this? Are they out in the crowd too? Isn't Glen Beck Mormon and he has been promoting this kind of talk. Can someone explain to these people that we are the #2 most capitalistic country and Cuba is the most socialistic country and even if we wanted to be Cuba (like anyone here does) it would take years to get there. Norway and Sweden are like between #50-60 (out of over 250 countries) on the capitalism list and they have health care and education for all. I wouldn't mind heading toward health care and education for all. Does the far right call that socialism? These people are a joke..blind followers of the crazies Beck, O'Reilly, Limbaugh who want our president and country to fail so we can go back to their craziness! Lets give Obama a chance. You (the GOP) can only cover your ears and scream for so long. Take a breather, sit back and relax and watch what the left can do for a change.

22. I realize OK has some great folks living there....
...but they have some of the dumbest, most insulting politicians I've ever known. This turd at the end has really got some meat to discuss....."...we're fed up, we're sick of this, we're not going to take this anymore..." What the f*ck are you talking about you loud mouth idiot??

These people ALL need to be tarred and feathered. "Lunacy" is not a right in the Constitution.

24. They are still imploding from the election, I wish we had a poll
as to who they voted for, I doubt for some it was McCain. The mention of illegal immigrants brought them to a frenzy.
