Anyone want to bet that ...

[Kweli4Real]

with Gabby's recovery, we will start seeing, from the right, references to Revelations 13:3?

"I saw that one of the heads of the beast seemed wounded beyond recovery--but the fatal wound was healed! The whole world marveled at this miracle and gave allegiance to the beast."

This is, in their eyes, a battle between mythical good and evil ... with their political enemies on the side of evil, of course.

1. No

And Alerted.

[MattBaggins]

18. Alerted for what?

He is bringing up the point that some on the far right will twist this to call Obama the anti-christ.

[el_bryanto]

2. That's a stretch

I don't know why it would be alerted, but that's a stretch.

So yes I would take that bet; but we would have to determinewhat you mean by we will start seeing. Who will we see them from?

7. You think it a stretch?

Even though we have experienced more than two years of PRESIDENT Obama, and/or Nancy P's being called the anti-christ?

Okay?!?

[el_bryanto]

11. Did that okay really need two question marks and an exclamation point

But I take it you are talking about crazy protester's posters and fringe internet poster? I agree then, some fringe person will certainly make that agrument.

3. I don't know about that

But one of the doctors working on her in Tuscon has already brought up the notion that a miracle might be afoot. NPR aired his comments yesterday and pointed out that they sounded 'undoctorly.'

[DrDan]

4. had it been Nancy Pelosi instead of Gabby you might have a point

I have yet to hear anyone call her evil in any fashion

[Kweli4Real]

8. Read Rev 13:1-4 (or 5) ...

And get back with me.

[DrDan]

10. my point was that the R's see Pelosi as evil - I have not heard the same claimed of Gabby

so the scripture might be a bit more appropriate in their eyes.

[Autumn]

12. According to the scripture, the beast has

many heads. Yeah, they will use it like crazy.

[MineralMan]

5. We're seeing it right now - From You!

What is the point in posting this? That's what I wonder.

[Kweli4Real]

9. My point is ...

predicting the next line of attack from the right where they play to their fundy christian base.

[Autumn]

6. You just know it's coming. Those people

will use anything they can to demonize a Democrat and it fits in with their rhetoric so well. I commented on this yesterday and a nice poster gave me the scripture. nadinbrzezinski has a really good thread detailing their beliefs in GD. Check it out.

[rusty fender]

13. I thought that the consensus among

the Apocalypsers is that Mertrea(sp?) is the Beast. :shrug:

[Autumn]

15. It probably changes according to their

needs and opportunities to sermonize whoever fits their message. They are nuts.

[blondeatlast]

14. I wouldn't have thought so before--but it's on the intertubes now...

Siiiiigh...

[MattBaggins]

16. Except that already came to pass on March 30, 1981

Good thing I don't believe in that nonsense.

[frogmarch]

17. It wouldn't surprise me.

Nothing they do surprises me anymore.
