This video is from CNN's Newsroom, broadcast August 15, 2008.

rawstory.com — That such a subject is even speculated about in any but the most backwards, unreconstructed segments of American society -- let alone on a 24-hour cable network -- is a testament (no pun intended) to the depths to which political debate have fallen. But there was the caption on CNN Friday in big bold letters: "OBAMA THE ANTICHRIST?"

anyways we all know * is the antichrist

1. CNN, Bigfoot and the AntiChrist - what are the CNN editors on?

[valerief]

10. Oh, how quickly ye all forget about CNN and the Rapture Index. nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. Jesus Christ

I forgot!

[texastoast]

2. ...

I replied to all to an anti-Obama email I received. A woman emailed me back (from Alabama) and said she believed that Obama was the anti-Christ.

Are we all the same species?

:freak:

4. No. I don't think we are. Bigotry has taken on a psychotic element that seemed

to be missing in these idiots before Bush.

The quantities of idiots seems to be growing exponentially, too.....

15. I think...

They're just coming out of the closets.

The Obama campaign has served as a light for our cockroaches. 'Bout time.

So now we reach for a can of Raid....

12. Well, then shouldn't she want him to be elected, to hasten the end times?

End-timers for Obama!!

:sarcasm:

McCain's ad "The One" is despicable. Can you imagine what the media would be saying if Obama accused McCain of being the anti-Christ?

[Metric System]

3. I saw that when I was flipping the channels and I had to do a double take. It's wrong for so many

reasons and completely ridiculous for a supposedly serious news channel.

5. Yesterday, CNN Had A Teaser . . .

About an upcoming Reverand Wright Book Tour, which was preceded by clips of Reverand Wright's sermon. In the end, following several teaser clips, CNN announced that the Reverand Wright book was just a rumor that was false. Of course, if you did not stick around until the end, you were left with the impression that Reverand Wright was going on a book tour.

Can you imagine if we started an internet rumor about a book tour by Vicki Iselman detailing her affair with John McCain, and CNN pulled this same stunt with teaser trailers, then repeating the NYT story, only to announce in the very end that the rumor was false?

Is the media biased? Will this be a difficult election to win?

7. The corporate media is always biased against Democrats. Back in 1992 the media was all over Bill

Clinton's infidelity, but there was no coverage of George Bush's mistress even though her identity was widely known among the media types.

8. Good idea!

Lets DO That!

I'm serious, if enough people pass it around there's no telling if it's true or not to some people..

What freaking Planet is CNN ON now anyway?

In a halfway Normal news environment SOMEONE would be writing, "What Tha Fuck?!!" on this...

Totally Bizarro, I can't believe this stuff is happening..

Let's not forget that Pope John Paul was Convinced that BUSH Was The Anti-Christ, where's the reporting on THAT tidbit.. The liberal blogs better start marching in Lockstep, instead of herding cats, and putting up the CNN clip with the Pope JP's call on Bush..

Damn, but I wish my idea of a central clearing house and editor for many blogs would be something folks could get behind.. I was written up in WIRED magazine for trying to "unionize" the liberals/blogs.. With ONE major site for marching orders daily..

No one listens :)

6. My jaw fell to the floor as I actually saw the graphic on CNN

I was flicking through and caught some pundit nitwit yacking about something, but there is was in all its glory... Obama the Anti-Christ?

As if?

9. There were rumors and stories of reagan, Clinton

and bush being the anti-Christ and you can find hundreds of pages via google for each
(Though checking Dems win and Obama is well in the lead)
Results 1 - 10 of about 361,000 English pages for Antichrist george bush.
Results 1 - 10 of about 397,000 English pages for Antichrist bill clinton.
Results 1 - 10 of about 176,000 English pages for Antichrist ronald reagan
Results 1 - 10 of about 495,000 English pages for Antichrist barack obama

But I never ever, not once, not a single time, never even glimpsed a caption on CNN or any station in big bold letters or wee small letters asking if anyone else was the antichrist.

I think we should mention that to them. How dare they?

How about a teaser of McCain and Keating 5 with caption "McCain still taking bribes?" to balance the Wright thing and at the least "McCain an evil Zombie?" to balance out the antiChrist without getting competitive about who is antiChristier.
No, no "McCain Real Manchurian Candidate?" Might as well use one that "some say" could be true.

13. CNN and all Corp Media are the fricking anti-christ. pfft. nt

16. there ya go!

14. This country is becoming

a fucking joke. People need to wake the fuck up, and cast aside these damn desert dogmas. If as much effort was put into science and mathematics as is put into justifying imaginary friends, we might finally evolve.
