Heckler to Obama: 'You Are the Antichrist!'
At a Monday night event in Los Angeles, President Barack Obama was interrupted by a heckler who declared he was the "antichrist."
ABC's Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson had just told the president that "[t]he end of Don't Ask, Don't Tell is the signature achievement of our time" when a bearded man in the front row began to yell.
"Christian God is the one and only true living God, the creator of Heaven and the Universe!" the man shouted.
"I love Jesus! Jesus Christ is God! Jesus Christ is the son of God!" he continued.
"I agree," the president smiled.
"You are the antichrist!" the man screamed.
The crowd of Obama supporters began to shout "four more years!" as the Secret Service finally removed the man from the room.
"First of all, I agree Jesus Christ is Lord. I believe in that," Obama told the crowd.
What is it with you people and religion?
Seriously?
It is not good for you, and by you I mean Americans in particular. It makes you seriously stupid!
The mere fact that your President even went there and played the "I'm a good little Christian" with this moron says even more about him than it does about the idiot who called him the antichrist.

This "antichirst" person is typical of the GOP base. It's good to see Obama get exposed to those type of people, because they're the ones he's been trying to woo with "bipartisanship" the last 3 years.
how can you negotiate with someone who thinks you're the antichrist?
It's just mind boggling that he felt the need to even answer such stupid, let alone actually provide the answer he did.
"We need to make books cool again.
If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck them."
- John Waters
Yeah, it looked like Obama was trying to appease the guy with his initial answer, which was rather pathetic. Like saying "there's a lot we agree on, let's work together!".
Oh yeah, he should have just stepped from behind the podium and walked down there and slapped trhe shit out of the guy. What are you, republican?
He could have done what one of ours would have done in the same situation: cracked wise and made the heckler look like a fool and then moved on without providing any more input to such idiocy.
"We need to make books cool again.

Better response: *shake head* "Whatever."
It would have been much more dignified and statesmen like.
The response he gave makes him look weak and amateurish.

I would agree. A witty, dry cutdown (which you Brits excel at) would have been much more effective. Instead, he looks like he's trying to "reason" with the lunatic.
I hope that between this guy and the audience at the GOP debates, Obama finally realizes who's sending his opposition to Congress.
Obama's a little slow on realising how much the GOP hates him. It may take a few more of these encounters with the crazy GOP base, then he might understand.

No. You didn't. The First Ammendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
It has nothing to do with a private individual telling someone to shut up on a website.
Please forgive the extra "m" in amendment.
I know this is a private web site, but a person who does not own it just tried to silence me.
That person has no respect for my rights under your laws.
That person does not respect the First Amendment.
Or is it an optional thing with you, these rights you bang on about all the time?

Take this post of yours, he made a joke and I made a joke back. My joke was based on what actually happens here so as to dispel the idea that we stab people here at footie match brawls. As I stated, that happens at Italian footie matches. They are proud of their skill at getting you in the ass while looking you in the eye. As I said, it's an art.

this message is from a Brit. That's a place where Catholics do not have the same rights as protestants and if you care to look at British history for the last century re Ireland you will find religious tolerance sadly lacking. That's why I avoid generalized criticisms of various nationalities. We all have motes in our own eyes.

What is it with people broadbrushing and using extremely large concepts as equaling some practitioners' behavior?
Religion is not religion is not religion..
Rather like a drug is not a drug is not a drug... if it were, we'd be using Tylenol to cure cancer, AIDS, etc.
When you say "religion," you are using a term that is like "politics"... Tea Party politics are not Progressive politics, etc.
I happen to be a Wiccan, marrying the love of my life who is a Wiccan Priestess and one of the most open-minded, wise and deeply spiritual and seeking people I have ever known. (Oct. 29th is the big day... the 33rd anniversary of the day we met... long story, that... would fill a book that would have to be markedt as fiction, as no one would believe it.)
I had a deep, profound and undeniable spiritual experience at the age of three, and that has been the core of my life, and the the determiner of my actions. Call it religion spirituality, or any other label... It's just a conviction of the existence of the Supreme Absolute, by whatever name one would use, and there are many. Unprovable, and profoundly private, yet a conviction I would defend to the death. Everything eles in the world's libraries of philosophy, spirituality and religion are merely commentary on the existence of the One.

14% and 43% are not similar numbers, and 14% doesn't rate a nasty little 'You People" from a guy who got all twisted into knots over people misinterpreting the UK riots.
I also have to question the validity of this or any poll, but looking at the numbers, I'd say they polled people who are mostly products of christianist home schooling in one of the more southern states.
I'm particularly struck by this line in tiny writing at the bottom of the graphic at your link:
"Poll conducted online within the United States beetween [sic] March 1 and 8 among 2320 adults over 18." Emphasis mine.
Online poll? Not very accurate. Misspelling in the graphic? Not very professional. But hey, they made shit up and lied, so why not you?

I see you ignored the correction in your righteous American anger to get revenge for the tinniest perceived slight.
And Harris made shit up, about the poll?

Was this lovely rejoinder in answer to me? I honor the Carpenter and his simplicity, kindness and wisdom, but my path has no place in it for any such thing as Christ as interpreted by modern-day firebrands, nor is there any place for such person as an Antichrist, nor is there such a creature as Satan. I do believe there are forces in the universe that seem to display intelligence and darkness, but these concepts of modern-day right-wing christianist lunatics are foreign to my path, my faith, and my sensibilities.

There are many, many more of us than would seem... it is just that our open-ended seeking spirit is seriously under siege.
Thus, not just Wiccans or Pagans,but all believers in a different interpretation of reality than the crop of loudmouthed, ignorant slobs would like. Therefore, as we are under siege, we meet in homes, pack out the meeting room at IHOP (and I don't mean those bigoted, insane Dominionists), and keep our opinions mostly to ourselves, except when provoked.
I live in El Paso, Texas, where there is a little fundy charismatic church on every corner, where this ignorant, rabid asshole preacher is making big noises in our local politics, where a Wal-Mart employee loses the smile when she sees my beard, my pentacle and triquetra bling, where there's pretty much the only store that has decent art supplies at a decent price also shoves their brand of "Christianity" in our faces, with orchestral "gospel" songs and muzak piped in constantly, and their signs about closing on Sundays "to give our employees time for worship andfamily"... Why is it necessary to elaborate on why you're closed on Sundays?; Many places are.
That said, the ignorant right-winger christianists are less of a majority in this country... they are just louder and more strident, and thus are tidy stories for the corporate "news" media.
Yes, we are here and we are many... and we are truly getting pissed off.

That would make for some interesting fiction stories for young and old and likely fun conventions. Have fun with that. Keep it out of my face. And please don't start any inquisitions, crusades, or other holy wars.
It's fairly typical of this kind of angry, contemptuous atheist. They really mess it up for the majority of atheists, who are for the most part polite citizens who don't go about cursing everyone who doesn't agree with them. These guys come off just as bigoted and pea-brained as their opposite numbers, frankly.

I reject the concept of atheism for deeply personal and profound reasons that are, admittedly, impossible to subject to scientific analysis and proof, but my ire is provoked by loudmouthed preachers of any path, even a path that is not a path (atheism)
You, sir, I can discuss matters with, as this is the only issue on which we seem to disagree. Dr. Carl Sagan, may he be at peace, was a deeply committed atheist. That said, an honest reading of his writings show a profound sense of spirituality and wonder... it's just not religion.
I have no patience with the atheist that seems believe it necessary to vent his/her spleen and also seems to find it necessary to call anyone that thinks otherwise a fool.
I am no fool. I am a seeker, and have always been, but my faith matters are seldom necessary to inject into every conversation. I do find myself, even here, what I've taken as a home away from home, exclaiming a "Thank the Goddess" or "Thank the One," and most here have let it slide... The vocal, angry atheists seem to make me think that they really know there's a Higher Reality out there... they're just really, really pissed at It.

Dao. But I guess that's conversaton for another time and place.
Notice I did not mention God... earlier I stated that I do believe in an Ultimate Reality, whether one would call it the Tao, God, Allah... that Reality is beyond names, but my conviction is that It exists, by whatever label we presumptuously attempt to apply.

Very well expressed. Daoist Budhists have a very interesting philosophy where Budha(s) have discovered the source of the universe but are not Gods themselves.
Of course that's a brief, inconsise, and incomplete abreviation.
Agreed.
A glance at my private library, both digital and "dead-tree" tends to make dogmatic visitors a bit uncomfortable... everything from Theravada, Zen, and Nichiren to Lao Tze, to Brother Manly P. Hall, 33rd Degree AASR, to Dr. Michael Aquino to Anton LaVey and all points in between. One doesn't have to walk a path to take what wisdom speaks to one's better self and lose the rest.
I am a Wiccan by profession of faith, and, as such, my particular faith path is one of lifelong learning and absorbing wisdom where it exists, whatever the source. I have known those who call themselves Wiccan, but are as authoritarian and dogmatic as any right-wing christianist, but that is a false and dead-end path.
My path is one of constant learning, and taking what I can use and what speaks to me wherever I can, while being well within the loose borders of Wicca, and accepted as long as it does not violate the Wiccan Rede... the closest thing we have to a Shadada... "An it harm none, do as thou wilt" which can be modernised as "So long as you harm no one, exercise your gift of will and git 'er done"

No, you're wrong. Every "Christian" believes in this crap.
in your country it is illegal for a Catholic to assume the throne? Also you have an official religion and your head of state is also the head of that religion? Doesn't that make you a giant hypocrite?

That was removed about 5 years ago.
And we do indeed have a State religion, but given the fact that over 40% of us are avowed atheists and that our taxes do not support the church (as you misinformed Yanks keep claiming) that doesn't really mean a whole hell of a lot.
And no, it makes you guys the hypocrites with your religious tests for public office and population who won't vote an atheist in. We have many atheists on our benches.

You seem like a bit of a nativist eh? Lovin' that English feelin'. That's perfectly fine. I'm not particularly fond of any country enough to care. But, like Gary Johnston's puppet character states in Team America:
"We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls."
Pretty much sums up the general feelings about the US over here.
Not really a nativist, that is really more of an American thing.
But I do know if given the choice between America and anywhere in Europe it would take absolutely no thought at all to chose Europe.
The US is in a state of collapse, it's people have been struggling with sub standard education for at least 3 decades now and you are insanely religious. Not to mention aggressive, dangerous, and far too well armed for a people in such a wrecked state.

Having given yourself great big heaping helpings of self congratulations on how liberated your mind is you fail to note the obvious. You just demonstrated a degree of ignorance and intolerance that would grace the most benighted religious fanatic. The diversity in the US is astounding and not unlike my own country encompasses just about every religion know to exist and a lot of atheists too. So you clearly despise all Americans and perception is justified by what? You have not proved that religion makes you stupid but you have established, by example, that being an atheist does not make you smart.

They separate themselves into white, black and Mexican.
And even these groups hate each other at levels unheard of over here.
The US has an astounding number of hate groups with an alarmingly large percentage of the population as members.
It is a festering bed of cross denominational hatred in it's religious populations and is the home of several virulent forms of extremist Christian cults that would never be allowed to exist here. The membership of these "church's" is staggering and influence they wield on policy there is unnerving.
Atheists? What, a full 3%? You seriously going to try and pull that one off as a lot? Not to mention they are despised, mistrusted and would never be allowed anywhere near public office or positions of authority.
It appears that I know a hell of a lot more about the US than you do and you live in the country next door!
You should be offended by your own ignorance, not anything I have posted.

Yeah, because the native peoples of the UK- the Celts/Anglo-Saxons- have always been so warm to their immigrant populations with roots in Africa and the Indian subcontinent.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
are still religious and still do things like this: http://articles.cnn.com/2011-02-05/world/engl... You may no longer have religion but I have to admit you've got sanctimony down to a science.

Your ignorance is on full display Peter.
That is a tiny fringe group, not a majority.

He actually responded. And grovelled before the Christian alter in his response no less.
That in itself should be causing extreme embarrassment.
But it's not. It's a cause for celebration in the US.

Wow.
Conversations about America's religiosity must be had. But this thread has to be one of the worst I've ever read on C&L.
The offense, the defense . . . goodness.
We have to find a way to discuss this topic in a civil manner.
Oh, I'm guilty of perpetuating plenty of angry threads. I'm not pointing fingers. I'm just concerned. Our country's religiosity is a serious issue, and demands serious discussion.

Love that Stewart quote.

Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Obama is the antichrist at the next Republican debate?

That's an awesome question.
would be sure to offer as a non response.
"That's fu*#ing retarded."
Big City Mayor
I can actually see that question being asked at the next "debate."
And I can see more than one of the candidates saying something to the effect of, "Well, the proposition ought to be considered."
And I can see the audience roaring in applause at the candidate who says that.
It's all rather frightening.

I seem to recall that Bill Clinton was the Anti-Christ. Then Al Gore was the Anti-Christ. Then John Kerry was the Anti-Christ. Then Hillary was the Anti-Christ, at least until Obama won the nomination, when he became the Anti-Christ. I think these freaks are both confused and have short memories.
Perhaps it's just the office of the President of the United States that is the Anti Christ?

There seem to be more Anti-Christs than the number of heads of Al Queda who have been killed in recent years. That's a whole lot of Anti-Christs.
Funny that the Tea Nutters are the same people who called Eisenhower a commie infiltrator back in the day. The Birchers were actually funded by the Koch brother's Dad.
The Anti-Christ prize goes to Dick Cheney. As far as I'm concerned, he retired the title.
Perhaps the Anti-Christ is like Black Lodge Bob, jumping around from body to body as it suits him. When he gets discovered in one body, he has to flee and find another.

Ron Paul does kind of remind me of the Log Lady... what does that mean?
Isn't that funny considering republicans are anti-Christian - everything about their platform goes against the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is why they are blaming the other side of the same - republicans blame the other side of what they the republicans in fact, are.

the anti-christ? In order for there to be an anti-christ wouldn't there need to be a christ? Wake up morons! Yep, I said it, I stand by it.
Well, if we're going to pretend... why not go all the way?
good point. Why not? lmao

Please, accept my apology on behalf of my country and it's peoples for having inflicted such injustice and intolerance upon your nation at it's conception.
We didn't know what we were doing, we just knew we wanted them the fuck out of our country.
We are deeply sorry for any distress this has caused your nation over these last 3 centuries.

Why didn't you just take a page from your post and fuck off yourself before sending it out?
Or did you really need to prove what an American you are?
(That BTW is getting to be a bit of an insult here)

No, sir, I do not need to prove a damned thing. What I've seen from your postings on this ridiculously long thread is that you seem to be here solely to stir the pot, to provoke and to insult from "across the pond"
I do not tolerate fools gladly.

The pot decided to stir me.
I merely decided to dance with the fools.
That means you too if you are too blind, stupid or proud to see it.
Care for another spin around the floor?
I myself am pretty tired of playing with the willfully blind and would rather continue with the back and forths that have some substance. There are a few of those here and elsewhere on the site that I have enjoyed.
But then you probably willfully ignored those too just to get all righteously indignant now, why is that? Are you the fool you seem to be in this exchange you decided to initiate?

I think all of the extreme conservative Republicans (Puritans), who are so persecuted and misunderstood here, should get themselves a big boat and travel to some backward uncivilized colony where they would enjoy freedom and be able to exercise religious intolerance and xenophobia without prejudice.
Yeah, they should just leave. On a boat (Mayflower). Overseas (Britain).
They should invade England (Where they came from).

How about that "Isle of Man"?
They could invade there. Is anybody using that?
I am. :D
I think perhaps a compromise could be made though, Guernsey and Jersey are in the UK but would properly belong to France if the French had shown any balls in the 19th century when we took them back for the hundredth time.
You could take them and thumb your noses at France at the same time?

Nah, we already have a "New" Jersey. We don't want that either.
How about the Isle of Wight.
If you invade in June you can capture the hippie children of our politicians at the music festival and hold them for payment.
You might even get lucky and capture The Village People, they have been showing up out here every now and then...
