Isn’t every current American President accused of being the Antichrist until they’re out of office? Wait a gosh darn second. I thought Bono was the Antichrist. He isn’t American OR President. I’m just confused now. Just plain confused.

He interviews this clown Hagee and asks a stupendously absurd question like that? We were supposed to be all scared about that kooky Rev. Wright, but Hagee is the authority you bring on your show to ask who might be the Anti-Christ??

Don’t you hate when someone turns the table and uses your tactics to slam your candidates? How annoying is that?
Doesn’t it just make you want to spit your latte’ across the room, rip your Che t-shirts and stomp on your Mao posters?
ahhhhhhh! waaaaaaaaa!

Interesting I came across this comment. I have discussed this topic within the past week with several groups all with different political and religious viewpoints both ultra liberal to conservative. There are prophecies and signs that seem to run parallel with this statement. This may not be so farfetched.

For those of you that jump all over Glenn Beck and his comments about obama being the anti-christ. It would serve you well to research all the facts before you are so quick to judge. You automatically take what the media says as truth, that is your first mistake, it rarely is. If you would have happened to actually watch the entire episode you would know that at the end Mr. Beck stated that media matters would probably jump all over him joking about obama being the anti-christ, distort the truth, it would be picked up by other liberal media centers, repeated as fact and that they would make him out to be a bigot. Sure enough exactly that happened, media matters only showed what they wanted people to see, Keith oberman then picked it up and did a bit on it, and it eventually made its way to the new york times. This happens constantly by the media. Do not trust what information you get from the media, be smart, think about it and research all the facts.

As I began reading these posts, I got to about 36 and had couldn’t take it anymore. Thank god there are some people who really saw it for what it was. It was a joke!! He is definitely making fun of those who ARE calling Obama the anichrist. Sheesh, if any of you actually WATCHED the video, and came to any other conclusion, (1) you need to have your ears checked, and (2) you take things WAY too seriously.

How hillary is losing to a guy that gets endorsements from the likes of The New Black Panther Party and ‘Ludacris’ is beyond me. This is pretty funny – http://nationalsquib.com/index.php/barack-obama-ludacris/

You were all asking where the trolls were to defend Beck, well, we’ve been here for a few days now and not a SINGLE post of a rebuttle to one of us trolls’ comments. I’m shocked. It’s like there’s a bunch of 14 year old posting on this site. I love it.

Please, pleeeeeassssssse, do yourselves, and everyone else for that matter, a favor: before you fly off the deep-end on anything that is posted, be sure that it is acurate. I have read the transcript, and it is sooooo far from what it is being portrayed as. Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best: “The root and seed of democracy is the doctrine Judge for thyself…” Hmmm, that may sound like a strange doctrine, what with political polarization, self-righteousness and correctness (which sounds a whole lot like something from Orwell’s book 1984), but if you give it a try..you just might find that you can actually think outside any box. Hmmmmmmm, another strange concept, evidently.

Beck was frakking making fun of people who would call anyone the anti-Christ.

Paraphrase: “I’ve got lots of idiots writing me saying Obama’s the anti-Chrsit. Pastor, what do you think?” “No chance” “Whew, that almost had me worried there”

For those who didn’t actually watch the link, here is the complete, unedited transcription

[Beck] Let me ask you, I just get so much email on this, I think a lot of people do, and I’ve only got a couple of seconds

[Beck, in hysterical voice, gesturing with hands] They say “Glenn! you in the media! You’ve got to wake up! Barack Obama’s making people faint and cry and everything else and he’s drawing people in”

[Beck] There are people, and they said this about Bill Clinton, that actually believe, that he might be the anti-Christ. odds that Barack Obama is the anti-Christ?

[Hagee, smiling] No chance

[Beck, laughing] No chance!

[Hagee] He has a lot of charisma

[Beck] Whew!

[Hagee] The media have a love affair with him right now, he is a very formidable political person

[Beck] Pastor

[Hagee] But i believe the best leader for America in the future is John McCain

[Beck, laughing] Thank you very much Pastor, back in a second, that’s good news, at least were I stand

Most of the bloggers did not watch the video with Glenn Beck. Research before communicating; I would like to see the percentage of people who do this. I’m guessing less than 10%.

To all the people who are up in arms about what Glenn said: did you actually watch the friggin’ video? Do you have a sense of humor? To recap the video for all the idiots who can’t be bothered to actually watch the video and just follow along with the rest of the lemmings: Glenn said that he gets e-mails from people who think that Obama is the anti-christ. He then asked in jest if the preacher thought that Obama was the anti-christ. But I guess conservatives aren’t allowed to have a sense of humor or to make jokes. Jeesh!

By the way, everyone knows Obama isn’t the anti-christ (665, 667 maybe). Now, as to Hillary…

Lighten up, people! You’ll give yourselves an ulcer!

First, what is wrong with all of you!? I’ve read through most of these 100+ comments and almost all of them agree with the HEADLINE – very few called attention to the fact that he is making fun of the people who really think that way. . .

Second, this site is called THINKprogress.org – have any of you stopped log enough to THINK for yourselves before hopping on the bandwagon? Just because you criticize others for being sheep, doesn’t mean you aren’t one on the other side of the fence. . .

Finally -Just a word of advice – when criticizing someone as “stupid” – it helps if you use correct grammar, spelling, or at least make an effort at clarity.

Um, just so you all know, Beck wasn’t remotely serious in asking that question. Call him whatever you want, I’m all for verbally beating down those who I think deserve it, but the guy wasn’t even close to serious. He was actually making fun of the question itself.

Anyone who thinks he WAS actually serious needs to be publically flogged for being to amazingly stupid.

What is wrong with you people??? Are you all so dense you can’t recognize humor? Glenn Beck rocks!! And as for our prosperous Clinton years, we were “prosperous” because Clinton robbed our Social Security fund of it’s monies to pay down the deficit, leaving social security in the sorry state it’s in now. If I didn’t love this country as much as I do, I would pray that Obama gets the nomination and wins, and when our country goes completely to hell, I could say you got what you deserve. Say what you want about President Bush, but our country has not been attacked since Sept 11….What do you think it means when communist dictators and jihadist (sp) muslims are supporting the likes of Obama and Clinton? I can promise you that the majority of our VOLUNTARY military personnel are praying a republican gets back in the White House, they have dealt one on one with the enemy, and know the risks and danger we are under.
