Just when I thought I'd seen everything, this pops up on the website of a South Carolina TV station, WCNC (link to article).
Mayor 'just curious' if Obama is antichrist
FORT MILL, S.C. -- Fort Mill Mayor Danny Funderburk says he was "just curious" when he forwarded a chain e-mail suggesting Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama is the biblical antichrist. "I was just curious if there was any validity to it," Funderburk said in a telephone interview. "I was trying to get documentation if there was any scripture to back it up."
****************
The e-mail, which has circulated in the last six months since Obama secured the Democratic nomination, claims the biblical book of Revelation says the antichrist will be in his 40s and of Muslim ancestry.
There is no such scripture. And Obama is not a Muslim. But that hasn’t stopped the e-mail.
Well, personally, I am "just curious" if this GOP racist is crazy, or reflects the Southern mentality. Keep in mind, this is the first state to have seceded from the Union, to defend slavery. They seem to have little truck with the "uppity" Presidential candidate.
I am "just curious" if McCain needs more than a medical evaluation; if he accepts support like this he needs a psychiatric one as well. Certainly, Funderfuck Funderburk needs some serious help. Speculation about "anti-Christs" and some ancient Biblical myth have no place in a Presidential campaign.
