God and Politics in Lynchburg, Tennessee
18 February 2008 by StardustThis was sent to me by Spirula…
You might need some of that Jack Daniels they produce there in Lynchburg after watching this…
Let the mockery begin!
Omama, Bahama, Osama, Obima, Obama…well…whoever…he’s BAAAAAAD!

What a bunch of ignorant inbred fuck tard psychos…you can tell these are three people who’s mental capacity only stretches far enough to spew the propaganda drivel they were so quick to lap up in the first place.
18 February 2008, on 7:36 pm
Jack Daniels is crap. Drink George Dickel. Fuck Huckabee.

Benjamin, I can’t help but groan when I see your accusation of ignorance in the same sentence as “who’s.” It’s “whose,” dude. Why did everyone suddenly start forgetting how to use apostrophes a few years ago?
These people are totally whack, though. This presumably started as a distortion/confusion with Keith Ellison. But I wonder if a lifetime of basing your perception of reality on the words of a preacher makes you predisposed to believing this kind of crap just because someone at church says so.
Or maybe their perception of our society (and the democratic party) is so skewed, and they’re so convinced of the danger of “teh muslims” overrunning America, that this sort of thing is just what they would expect.

I love the fact that each of them says this stuff not just with a straight face, but with an eerie sense of total confidence – yet completely unaware that they’ve said absolutely nothing.
The “no true Scotsman” argument runs rampant every time Bush is brought up; they have a clear example of what an evangelical fundamentalist president’s actions do to the country, yet they persist in the idea that our country needs to “get back to god”.
But none of them have anything resembling a clue about what that means! Apparently, though, some person at their church understands it all and keeps up with the politicals and learns em up on them current EEvents. And that’s good enough for them, and that’s why they’re casting their vote for Mike “God over the constitution” Huckabee.
I have a quick question – how is it that Fuckabee’s public statement that he will use his presidency to essentially overturn the constitution of the US and make it “right with god” (I shudder to think what that might entail), how does that public statement not immediately disqualify him from running for president? In the bizarro-world where he actually becomes president (or in the more frightening possible reality of him being vice-president), he has to swear on the bible to uphold THE CONSTITUTION!!! His first act upon being inaugurated as prez would be a huge goddamn lie, one that he has basically announced he will make. Lying with his hand on the bible. Real noyce.
And no one has brought this up as a problem?
At least in W’s case, he can obviously plead ignorance to the actual contents of the Constitution because of his dyslexia. And his fundamental(ist) lack of intellect, reason, and critical thinking. If the whole “pissing on the constitution” issue came up (and, given the apathy and impotence of Congress, why would it?), W could simply explain that when Cheney read it to him it all seemed to support the stuff Cheney told him to do.
One thing that batshit crazy pastor broad said had a terrifying ring of truth to it:
It does feel like we are living in the end times. Because I fear that ignorant, fundagelical, theocratic whack-a-doos – like these Hee-Haw rejects seen here – are going to doom the rest of us to live out their apocalyptic-snuff-film fantasy here in the real world.
Vote Bahama for Change! Or is it Osama? Macaca? Xuahaca? Chewbacca?
Clinton II: Electoral Boogaloo?
Whatever.
Just vote. For the love of Sagan, people.
If nothing else, cast a vote just to make the one these Deliverance-banjo loving yokels put in for Fuckabee as impotent and meaningless as their imaginary sky-daddy.

MoeHammered — Here is the idiot Bob introduced us to who bleeeves the same shit. Getting rid of the “atheist influence” is going to make the world all better. He’s trying to convince a whole bunch of atheists who invaded his blog of why we need a theocracy…a christian theocracy because that’s the best kind.

The stupid! It burns! OW! OW! OW! OW!
Are we allowed to make requests of Al Qaida?
But I liked the alternate video.
18 February 2008, on 9:38 pm
The girl in the video cracks me up:
She doesn’t even know what the fuck she is talking about and is so pathetically brainwashed.
I found out where the story comes from about Obama Bahama refusing to say the pledge…Hand over heart
18 February 2008, on 9:44 pm
Holy jeez, I think I found my grandma’s doppleganger. Not in looks, but what she says. It’s sad to see that way of thinking passed onto somebody so young.

god bless america
18 February 2008, on 11:11 pm
“The Lord” is with Fuckabee, is he? I guess that’s why it’s now impossible for him to recieve the Republican nomination! Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
18 February 2008, on 11:55 pm
Hmmmm…

If there actually WAS a sort of YouTube online “Video Dictionary”; I think a Picture link from the first video would be rather appropriate next to a goodly number of words…such as…
[I'm just listing a few, VERY liberal, suggestions, of course!
1) NOUNS: ass-wipe…bat-shit(?)…bullocks…diarrhea…feces…idiot…ignoramus…moron…pea-brain…shit-faced…sadomasochist…stupid…turd-ball…[your suggestions]
2) VERBS: (to:) barf…brainwash…bullshit…defecate…fabricate…lie…misinterpret…obfuscate(?)…[more suggestions]
3) ADJECTIVES & ADVERBS:…Oh fuck this shit!…It’s too much like work! Or…In other words…

I had to stop at 1:17 with the stupid Hillary Clinton comments. I thought these Christians were supposed to be big on forgiving sins, but when Hillary forgives her husband for Monica Lewinsky, it is grounds for doubting her judgment.
Oh, and if I was Barack Obama and won the presidency, when I was getting sworn in, I would pull out a Quran and make like I was about to swear on it, then look at the camera and say “Ha-ha, you really thought I was going to do it, didn’t you?”
19 February 2008, on 3:10 am
Tommykey, if Barack Obama actually *did* do that, the next sound you would hear would be that of several Christian heads exploding.
19 February 2008, on 3:37 am
I’m not too concerned about these yokels’ votes for Fuckabee–I don’t think they’re allowed crayons in the voting booths.
Oh yeah, and Fuck Huck (I guess Gawd already did–He isn’t giving Huck the nomination.)
19 February 2008, on 8:50 am
Huck Fuckabee, ummm, has a nice ring to it.
I am fortunate not to be living in an area where I have to deal with fundies–they’re here, I just don’t have to deal with them. I did have a woman tell me yesterday that the $ store (where I find some great deals) was the best place to buy books. Then she held up her copy of “The Passion Of Christ” and started showing me all the lurid photoreproductions of religious paintings–gorerotica.
19 February 2008, on 11:18 am
Tommykey, Obama SHOULD do that, and then make sure to ram the point home that the copy he’s using belong to Thomas Jefferson.

Moderator comments in bold, graphics placed by mod. Ted’s text is left as it was:
Mod says: FYI Ted, Barack Obama is a NOT a muslim. He is a CHRISTIAN (which is a bit worrisome that he talks to his sky daddy regularly and has his Christians pastor on the campaign trail with him.).
Ted:Can a good Muslim be a good American?
mod:YES, if they keep their religion to themselves and uphold the separation of church and state.
I sent that question to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.
(A friend who worked in Saudi Arabia told you…that’s credible research! Not!)
The following is his reply:
Theologically – no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia.
Allah and the Christian god are both the same god of Abraham.
Religiously – no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Koran, 2:256)
Sounds also like Christianity, Ted. Christians believe there is no god but the Christian god.
Sculpturally – no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).
“Sculpturally? WTF???? Well catholics do worship statues…:roll:
Geographically – no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
And you Christians want to pray to your Skyboss in the sky…your allegiance is to another imaginary place over the rainbow…what’s the difference?
Socially – no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
This is fundamentalist Islam, just like fundamentalist Christianity. I have fundie Christian relatives who will not associate with heathen family members, even those who are other forms of Christianity.
Politically – no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great Satan.
Our Christian president has “spiritual advisers” and invades defenseless nations because god told him to. Christianity has brought much death and destruction to the world as any other major religion/mythology.
Domestically – no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).
. Look how many redneck Christians beat their wives, verbally abuse them and justify it with scripture passages. And again, read the Old Testament. Fortunately we have laws in this land preventing this sort of thing, because religious fundies would be using the OT for justification for everything from beating your wife and kids, to killing them for disobedience.
Intellectually – no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
The Bible is corrupt. It is full of violence and evil. It is the Christians who are wanting to change the Constitution to declare that this is a Christian nation instead of upholding the rights of all people. Christians are the ones who want to change our secular government to a theocracy.You are the ones who are unAmerican when you cannot accept that America is a melting pot of many cultures and traditions, not just yours.
Philosophically – no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Fundamentalist Christianity does not allow freedom of religion and expression, fundamentalist Christianity and democracy cannot co-exist.
Spiritually – no. Because when we declare “one nation under God,” the Christian’s God is loving and kind,
Ever read the Old Testament? The Christian god is as cruel and sadistic as any other humans have invented.
while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran’s 99 excellent names.
Therefore after much study and deliberation….
LOL!!! One friend told you and that is “much study and deliberation”?
perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both “good” Muslims and good Americans.
Perhaps we should be very suspicious of all god botherers since you are all delusional.
Call it what you wish…. it’s still the truth.
It’s not truth, Ted…it’s bigotry!

T de B:
Love the graphic, dude; is that yours? I mean I can’t tell if it is meant to show a naked Santa Claus eating his own poo or if it means he’s an asshat.
Some folks display irrefutable logic, then along comes someone like you show displays illogical refutation. I don’t care what you think, but I do care that idiots like you want to elect people who will try to make me THINK the way you do. If I want to be a braindead godbotherer I’ll OD on something or swallow a gun.
19 February 2008, on 2:03 pm
democommie…the graphics are “edited” into Ted’s commentary, along with commentary in bold, by a moderator to say he is full of shit. (Something Sean loved to do now and then.) We normally save those for drive-by Christian asshats who come by to preach the Babble at us, but this guy deserves poopy Santa for ignorantly assuming like the women in the video that Obama is a secret “evil” muslim plotting to overtake us.
19 February 2008, on 2:26 pm
Just looked up the IP address for Ted and for those who remember…Ted is THEO, this Ted and other fake names who was banned a long time ago.
Bye bye once again… ted, theo troll.
19 February 2008, on 4:22 pm
By the way, Ted aka Theo’s comments are not even original. This is word for word a letter some “well-meaning” Christian in my extended family sent to me in a mass email one time. All Ted/Theo did was append the “I sent that question to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.”
This isn’t even original stupidity. Ted the Parrot.
19 February 2008, on 4:48 pm
Oh, and just to prove Ted is just a rotten plagiarist, here’s the same letter posted up at a Snopes message board back in 2006!
19 February 2008, on 4:48 pm
Sorry, disappered from my post. Here it is:

Ryan, TheoTed should know better than to try to fool the atheist…we leave no rock unturned. Good find!

^ You mean a True Xian (TM) actually lied? *shockgasphand->mouth*
Oh, wait…
And Fuck Huck!

“One of our members who keeps up on his comments”
Now, there’s a credentialed source for important information. I wonder what the lady introduced as “professor” is a “professor” of, southern cosmetology?
HUCKTARDS!
19 February 2008, on 7:48 pm
By the way, what’s this religious text the good Jeebus-fearing folk of Lynchburg keep saying that Obama wants to be sworn in with? The Korean? The Corum? The Corn? Never heard of it—is it associated with the Church of the Flying Sphaghetti Monster? A lost translation of The Necronomicon? Could they maybe mean the Koran? Nah, that’s easy to pronounce, they’d never get that wrong!
Those question marks on the screen are well placed!
19 February 2008, on 10:12 pm
Now, I know it can’t ever happen but wouldnt’t it be great to see the president elect, at some future date, say, “Bible? we don’t need no steenking Bible. Yo, High Priest, where’s the virgin we gotta sacrifice? You let her go with Bill Clinton to do what?”
20 February 2008, on 4:45 am
As an antidote to this dumbing down, see these videos made by Richard Dawkins. “Break the Science Barrier”. This was back in 1996 and if things have changed, it probably hasn’t been for the better.

Wait a moment… Did I just hear a PASTOR give an EXPLICIT ENDORSEMENT of a presidential candidate!?! Perhaps an email to the IRS is in order…

I used to think that we all would be OK if we waited for the older generation to move on to the long sleep so that this sort of nonsense would disappear. That girl, though, is less than half my age, so I’m going to have to live a LONG time before we see it completely go away.
