In case you missed it: Tim LaHaye Warns Obama Bringing Us Closer To 'The Apocalypse'

[Emit]

~snip~

LaHaye issued the dire warning in an appearance this week on Mike Huckabee's talk show on Fox News.

"Our present president doesn't seem to get it," LaHaye explained. "He doesn't understand that some of the things he's introducing that many of us call 'raw socialism' -- it's a different name, but it's essentially government control and government domination of everything."

The evangelical voice said of the political platform maintained by the Obama administration, "It's going to work against our country and bringing us closer to the apocalypse."

Huckabee went on to prod LaHaye a bit further on his assertion. "Are we now living in the end times, from your perspective?" asked the former Arkansas Governor and possible 2012 White House contender.

LaHaye's response: "Very definitely, governor."

2. Why the warning? Wouldn't he be happy about that?...

Don't these end-timers want the Rapture to come?

4. Funny and Exactly what I was thinking! -nt

[no_hypocrisy]

12. Me too. Where's the down side for LaHaye?

He gets Raptured up and the regulars burn (me included) in Hell for eternity.

[sharp_stick]

3. Should that not make these fundie

assholes happy? For some reason that always get kind of pissed off when you remind them that the apocalypse is the ultimate goal of fundie assholes everywhere.

Tim LaHaye should be kicked in the nuts over and over again.

5. Going to bed at night and getting up the next day also brings us closer to the end times.

Yawn.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Millenarian thinking makes me go yawn

idiots, someday humans will be done for... it is called LIFE and EVOLUTION... no magical creature necessary for this. Unless you talk of his holy noodle appendage, that is...

But I am sure this helps you control the masses.

Oh and if Obama is a commie, I don't want to know what a REAL COMMIE is...

8. Book sales must be down n/t

9. This from a guy who helped start a war that has killed 100s of thousands of INNOCENT people.

ChurchCo IS the Anti-Christ.

10. Sign on a little country church down the road from me:

Coming soon: the rapture

[hatrack]

17. Let me suggest another sign for that church: "Now Appearing: Teh Stupid"

:eyes:

11. This fool has been predicting the imminent end

for 40 years. He uses fear as motivation - but has never been right and people seem to forget that.

[blogslut]

13. LaHaye has made millions with his End Times fear-mongering

He is a disgusting opportunistic hack who offers nothing of value to humanity.

[notadmblnd]

14. Seems to mehe should be celebrating

unless of course he doesn't want to fly into the sky to be with Jesus. You would think that these nut jobs would be embracing Obama's "raw socialistic" policies. Why do they hate Jesus?

15. Another END TIME WHORE...MEH...FORGET the asshole....

[Blue Owl]

16. The Fundie who cried "Apocalypse!"

There's a lot of 'em out there.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

18. The sooner the better

Once the rapture comes, we will FINALLY be free of fundie freakazoids like LaHaye!

[Fuzz]

19. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel

crappy.

[mikeSchmuckabee]

20. That proves he's a christian!

Aren't christians supposed to force god's hand on the rapture?

[LWolf]

21. If only it were true.

If Obama is doing something to bring the rapture on, I'm all for it. It would solve so many of our problems in one fell swoop. With LaHaye and all of his fellow fanatics gone, we might be able to clean up the mess people have made of the planet and look forward to a better world. Or at least, a better United States, which certainly benefits the world.
