Rachel you got to be shitting me... LAHAYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLOODY LAHAYE!!!!!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

Long live Comrade Barack... I want a Barack Shirt!

[Buzz Clik]

1. Must be sumpin' on the teevee.

:shrug:

[Generator]

2. Explain the show or I'm taking away your party card!

WHAT?

[KaryninMiami]

5. Her next guest is the auther of Left Behind - should be fascinating.

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. She's bringing Mr. Lahaye to 'xplain to us how Barack is either the lead

to the antichrist or the antichrist

It is funny on the daily show, here, well, lets see. Might be very funny

Can I keep my card now Mr. Commissar?

:-)

I mean I may need it for my weekly cheese and bread rations

[Sydnie]

9. "I mean I may need it for my weekly cheese and bread rations"

Did you lose your lunch money? ;)

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Yep...

why I said rations

:-)

After so many of those threads it was time to make some fun

[Sydnie]

12. I agree

I hope my little poke didn't leave a mark. :)

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Nope, not at all

and I have participated in them... amazed at the libertarian thinking... big tent and all but...

Now I have to say it, Barack is NOT the Antichrist, so says the Master... WHEEEEEWWWWWW what a relief!


Now having him raptured in the middle of all this....

I;m not so sure

But of course there is also the chance the rapture already happened and Lahaye and others are stuck with us heathens

:-)

[Tangerine LaBamba]

21. If PRESIDENT OBAMA gets raptured,

will that make Joe Biden PRESIDENT?

Because I'd be real fine with that.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. The Constitution does not make any bones about how

just that the VEEP becomes pres if the Pres cannot fulfill his duties

:-)

Oh crap, Biden is Catholic right? HE IS the antichrist, why Obama has to be raptured (Channeling La Haye here)

[Tangerine LaBamba]

24. I think that's been the plan all along

It's a Vatican plot.

It's been brewing since JFK was elected.

See, I've had this funny feeling since January of 1961.

I knew it............................

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. I'd better start sharpening my pencils to write the Gospel according to Obama

:-)

Hey the first one was a Jewish carpenter, so a Jew following the true one should make sense huh?

Next I know I will see the loaves of bread and the fish miracle at the 50 yard mile... oh wait, that would be a good commie plot!

(Sadly this is no laughing matter, these guys take this crap way too seriously)

[Tangerine LaBamba]

31. Sixty-five million books

My agent would whore me out in a minute for one percent of those sales.

[Oak2004]

34. No silly :)

The miracle of the bread and cheese at the 50 yard line :)

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. Cheese sandwiches for all!!!!!

Get in line please, we have plenty, get in line

[Ilsa]

26. The people that read his junk believe it is an insight into what is about

to happen. They think the events from those badly written books are going to transpire exactly as LaHaye says.

[KaryninMiami]

3. Don't ya just love her- every day is a new and wonderful surprise.

Rachel never disappoints- this is going to be fun. Comrade Barack indeed.....

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Careful, next we know the Commissars will check us for right thinking

:-)

And you are right might be funny

[Ilsa]

27. I love it when she invites rwgers on the show and tears them a new one. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Who? What?

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Left behind series, one of the two authors off, or both

should be fun

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. socialism and theology... WOW... just wow

did these guys MISSED the REAL Christian message? I mean they believe in a jewish carpenter who was a damn revolutionary and believed in taking care of the poor

[Tangerine LaBamba]

15. Nice talk, you filthy heathen commie pinko

Or is it "pinko commie"? And should "commie" be capitalized?

Capitalized?

As in "Das Kapital"?

What is wrong with you? Why can't you just accept that a strange old guy with badly dyed and cut hair has the inside track on how the world is going to end and what happens afterwards?

I'm still not clear on whether the Anti-Christ shows up before or after The Rapture.

What's really scary is the fact that this lunatic's rantings have sold SIXTY-FIVE MILLION COPIES OF HIS BOOKS!!!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Commie, that works for me

and he will come after the rapture, and even Barack may be raptured away... (now that is the scary part)

That said, what if the rapture already happened and they were left behind with us heathens? It would explain the new disasters, and the least eight years....

As to the lunatic fringe propaganda is usually good at selling

I am willing to bet that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion have also sold high up there.

[Gregorian]

14. I'm a christian. And they look like aliens to me.

They are nothing but evil. Doom and gloom and fear. I swear, after watching that I am more certain than ever that we are two universes that will never meet. Conservative and liberal. There is no meeting point. It's almost comical to hear them talk, because what they're saying sounded like what we were saying when Bush was in office. It's as though they missed the whole show. It would be funny if I knew they couldn't screw things up. Wow. Stunningly stupid. And to think people buy their books. Stooooooopid.

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. I'll admit it, I once took one to the near coffee table at the

bookstore and read a couple chapters

I went, they have sold like hotcakes... what is in them?

Extremely bad writing and even weaker theology.

But if you are doing a thesis on propaganda and social control... masterful

I know contradicting and all, but they are masterful

I might buy one to do that kind of analysis... like they were the Der Sturmfuhrer... yep that type

[Lars39]

32. Anecdotal, I know, but my Southern Baptist inlaws and one of their sons

are missionaries....which means they strictly adhere to whatever the SB convention decides to implement. They truly believe those books...that these are the end times and that events are going to happen as the series predicts. Very dangerous propaganda...especially couples with that other masterpiece of propaganda, Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ. I've seen the inlaws go from being slightly religious to fanatics over the years. Very scary to contemplate what might come next.

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. Exactly, you made my point, thanks

and yes I do shudder too

True believers can and do become very dangerous at times

[nickinSTL]

33. ugh. Don't BUY one, that'll just up their sales...

get it from your local library

[nadinbrzezinski]

36. Good point... wonder if my local library has a copy

We are not, thankfully in fundy land

[nickinSTL]

39. chances are, they do...

and if they don't, they can get one from another library through interlibrary loan.

[Evoman]

38. The Slacktavist did an "analysis" of them...funny as hell, check him out.

http://slacktivist.typepad.com/

You gotta look around the site to find all the chapters though. He used to read a couple of pages every Friday and write about them.

On edit: He is in the process of analyzing the movies, which is where I think the link I gave takes you.

[Gregorian]

40. There's something big there.

Ronald Reagan did it. And didn't Rachel hit on the thought that what they're doing is playing into people's religion whether they're liberal or conservative?

The conservatives have played this role of being "good". And it's not even blatant. Bush wasn't running around spouting religious stuff. He just sent up a flag every once in a while. This religious thing is almost criminal. It's subtle. It gives them legitimacy. But only in the eyes of the idiots.

Man, I can't get it out. I don't know what to say. But we're on to something here.

And the torture subject being brought out into the open by Senator Whitehouse has the potential to blow the doors off of the lies.

If we could crack the religion/politics code then we could begin to open the eyes of Americans who simply rely upon the lies and fakery. Snake oil salesmen is all they are. But they put on their cloak, and they become legitimate in the eyes of the fools. Fools who can vote.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

22. Consider this -

Because it makes my head hurt every single day:

That loon's vote counts the same as mine.

[ldf]

42. conservatives and liberals...

the evangelicals are a breed unto themselves. they are NOT conservatives.

edit to add... they are being USED by the conservatives.

[Wickerman]

16. ok, so what I've learned from that trainwreck

LaHaye barely knows what he writes about and makes it up as he goes along. And, two authors? The other guy hardly opened his mouth. My guess? LaHaye spins the themes and politics and the other guy does the heavy lifting of the writing and making it for what passes as coherent.

[Kip Humphrey]

17. The most dangerous people in America: Rapturists.

[Hello_Kitty]

19. I, for one, welcome my socialist overlords. eom

[bertman]

28. If there was really a Just God, It would have struck those two motherfuckers dead on the spot.

[madrchsod]

29. lahaye is`t going anywhere soon

he`s living the high life in a multi million dollar house in palm springs,ca.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. hmmm who said something about rich having a heck of a time

going through the eye of a needle into heaven?

Anybody?

(ironic, I know)

[librechik]

41. Gotta say one thing about Rachel

If she had any they'd be huge and hard. Go girl!
