From the people who brought you the Birthers: Obama is probably the Anti-Christ

The fine folks at WorldNetDaily -- the wingnut outfit that was the original source of most of the Birther conspiracy theories, and remains their most ardent defender -- has a new theory it wants to trot out for mainstream consumption:

Barack Obama is actually the anti-Christ. Jesus said so!

An American Christian has produced a brief film for YouTube that connects one statement by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke to President Barack Obama.

His 4-minute video focuses on the direct quote: "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." (Luke 10:18)

"When I started doing a little research, I found the Greek word for 'lightning' is 'astrape', and the Hebrew equivalent is 'Baraq,'" said YouTube contributor "ppsimmons," a self-described Christian with a theological education and many years in the ministry, who spoke to WND under condition of anonymity out of concern for members of his local church. "I thought that was fascinating."

As he continued looking into the rest of the words in the phrase, he focused on "heaven," and found that it can refer not just to God's dwelling place, but also "the heights" or "high places."

He then recalled Isaiah 14:14, where Lucifer, another name for Satan, is quoted as saying, "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High."

"I wondered what the word 'heights' is," said ppsimmons, "and I looked it up in the dictionary, and it's 'Bamah.'"

Thus, on the video, the announcer notes, "If spoken by a Jewish rabbi today, influenced by the poetry of Isaiah, He (Jesus) would say these words in Hebrew ... 'I saw Satan as Baraq Ubamah.'"

Of course, both the "Christian" and WND then go to some pains to try to claim that they're not suggesting Obama is the anti-Christ. Which is sort of like saying you're not a racist after calling a black person the N-word.

I'm just waiting for Lou Dobbs to trot this one out and start mainstreaming it for public consumption. Or, more likely, Glenn Beck.

Do I have that right, or did I leave out something?

:hi:

Eventually they're going to have to go with the N-word because they're running out of bullshit labels.

Reminds me of the scene in Blazing Saddles where Gabby Johnson yells "Hey! The sheriff's a nig..." (keeps getting cut off by church bells)

(I don't think they had that cute name, at the time, though.)

Although now that I think about it, I do seem to recall the antichrist-ers in the Clinton supporters as well.

I don't recall hearing that they got their tricks from worldnetdaily, though I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be the case. (shrugs)

And they are far too smart for that so can't be him.

The POTUS is actually Barack Obama the Second. His father was, of course, Barack Obama the First.

Wouldn't that make the POTUS Damien?

Are there any sharks left for these people to jump?

Just like with the Nostradamus crap, or the "Bible code". It's easy to make it say something when you already know what you're looking for.

Just once, I'd like these idiots to come up with a specific prediction based on their "bible code", or a Nostradamus quatrain, and publish it BEFORE it happens. But we all know damned well they'll never do that, because they're all full of shit.

Because, as I understand it, they NEED the antichrist to arrive before jesus will come back and rapture them, right? So if Obama, or anyone, is the antichrist, shouldnt that be GOOD news for them?
