'Prophet': Obama won't make it to the White House

[meegbear]

Disaster will prevent President-elect Obama from taking his seat in the Oval Office, says a self-proclaimed prophet out of Utah.

Leland Freeborn, known as the "Parowan Prophet," recently gained attention in a December 8 letter published in the St. George Spectrum. "I said on my home page in August that if he lost, to expect to see the 'Riots' that 2 Peter 2:13 tells us about," he wrote. "He didn't lose. But the story is not finished yet. I still think they may begin the riots before Christmas 2008 as I said.

"Some of the news media will say that riots are justified. Now you know how much God is offended and just plain fed-up with our stupid excuses for not keeping all of his commandments in your Bible. Many readers will remember the many letters form me warning people."

Freeborn is a survivalist and international talk radio guest whose previous predictions include Al Gore's winning the popular vote in 2000 and OJ Simpson's acquittal. A former Mormon, father of 12, and taker of "plural wife," he began his life as a prophet following a visit to the "other side" during his three-week coma after being in a plane crash in 1975. He told the Los Angeles Times of a recurring dream in which he sees nuclear flashes to the west. "Prepare now," he added in his letter. "We are downwind from Las Vegas. I hope you can survive."

The Times' Peter King sat in on a meeting with Freeborn in which he reiterated his prediction of a nuclear end, kicked off with "riots," with the support of biblical passages. "How terrible it must be to believe what this man truly appears to believe, and yet have so few willing to listen," King said. He was given an allocation of iodide crystals to counter the effects of radiation and urged to reconsider his trip to Obama's inauguration.

"I don't think you are going to finish your trip back East," Freeborn predicted.

"Nonetheless, with our little brown bottles of iodide, we will press on," King wrote. "The rest of you are warned."

1. Good news

Something for the freepers to latch onto and run away with, while the rest of us laugh our asses off at them yet again.
The dead-enders never get tired of losing. :evilgrin:

[saltpoint]

2. It must be awful damn edgy being around this guy.

The phrase "plural wife" is sticking in my throat a bit.

Riots, then flashes of nuclear holocaust.

God rest ye merry Gentlem(a)n.

3. Further example that Christians are idiotic n/t

4. Anyone quoting "scripture"...

... is of no concern to me. Fiction about fiction.

5. I prophesize a tuna fish sandwich about 30 minutes in my future

6. He thinks the Commies are gonna get us

From a different article on the guy:
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-moment13-2008dec13,0,2231803.story

These riots, according to his prophecy, will encourage the "old, hard-line Soviet guard" to seize the moment and rain down nukes on the United States, killing at least 100 million of us.


Damn that Soviet guard! (shakes angry fist!)

Oh, and WHERE the hell is Palin? Isn't this HER responsibility???!?! If Putin is rearing his head all up in our business, she should let us know about it. I thought that was her job.

7. What is this mania for "riots" from the right wing nuts?

They predicted rioting in Denver, rioting if Obama wins, rioting if he loses. Now this wacko has us rioting "before Christmas". Who has time?

8. Uneducated Bigot Down The Block Predicts Apocalypse

Claims To Be "Prophet". Otherwise Respectable News Source Picks Up "Story".

[yodoobo]

9. Those predictions are like pyschic lottery tickets

If they are wrong, nobody cares, notices and she continues on. No credibility is lost as there was none to begin with.

If she's is right, and by complete chance something bad does happen, then she is suddenly heralded and made famous and rich.

10. What a fucking loon.

Can't you get arrested for saying shit like that?

[charlie]

11. I looked up 2 Peter 2:13

God's Mouthpiece thinks "riot" in the King James means melee, but if you look at the other translations, it means PAR-TAAAY!

In other words, there was actually plenty of "rioting", but the Prophet was too Biblically stoopid to know it.

TM Mike/Squeech, but I think God has better things to worry about.
