Obama as Antichrist? [Andrew Stuttaford]
Here's a piece from Amy Sullivan in Time on the idea that sinister GOP operatives may be trying to suggest that Obama is, wait for it, the Antichrist. Amongst the evidence:
A Google search for "Obama" and "Antichrist" turns up more than 700,000 hits, including at least one blog dedicated solely to the topic. A more obscure search for "Obama" and "Nicolae Carpathia" yields a surprising 200,000 references.
I googled "Obama Antichrist" and, sure enough, a remarkable 779,000 hits come up. Cue sinister music. Then I googled "McCain Antichrist." 510,000 hits. Oh. I then googled "Obama Nicolae Carpathia" and came up with 3,160. Hardly the number of the Beast, I reckon, let alone 200,000. Technical incompetence on my part, probably, or perhaps the secular humanist safe search I had installed on my computer is to blame.
