      Freedom of the press does not cover libel.

    the only HATRED coming across is towards the conservative right....and for WHAT ...wanting to protecting the unborn?? driving down the interstate during the pre election months my 11 year old son asked me to explain just exactly what abortion was...."well son...when your mother was pregnant with you...if she decided it was inconvenient or she just didn't want to have you she could have went to the doctor and ended the pregnancy. His reply...'well dad ...mommy wouldn't have done that ...that would have been murder right?

      I find it hard to believe that all conservatives are too stupid to understand what pro choice means. NO one is FOR abortion. Idiot. Why don't you actually read up on what it means before you spout senseless drivel like some hysterical nutjob? You are the party of ANTI-LIFE. You are for war that has killed thousands of innocent children and BABIES in Iraq. Oh but that doesn't matter because they are already born, right? Your party lost in an overwhelming landslide because most people disagree with the way YOU nthink.

      First off, liberals don't "hate" conservatives because they want to protect the unborn. Nice try. Nah, we just don't appreciate the way conservative attempt to force their beliefs down everyone else's throats. We don't understand why you give a crap whether gays marry or a how woman makes a decision about her body IN PRIVATE. We don't understand why you ignore proven facts about evolution and science. We don't understand why you always seem to choose war over peace.

      This article has nothing to do with abortion, by the way. I guess it's just easier to throw the whole "baby-killer" meme in our face, isn't it?

    The evangelical church leaders need to get a hold of this one. Otherwise, what is the point of future tithing, doing missionary work, having children, grandchildren, new church buildings, and other plans for the future if people feel that the End of Days is at hand? We may as well all go down to Jonestown.

    WOW. MRS. Miller you have it all figurered out. OBAMA IS NOT THE ANTI-CHRIST THE DEVIL IS A LOT SMARTER THAN THAT.

  • Posted By: eddiewhere @ 11/18/2008 3:32:19 PM

    I guess you forgot Obama is not the outsider you think he his.
    He has been friends with some of the most well connected idividuals in D.C for a long time and he has been living in D.C for
    the last four years. I know you are intelligent but your emotions have blinded you from the facts.
    Do you know UFO exists and that the Clintons were kept in the dark.

    Obama knew all about government secret agencies and the exsistence of UFO's before he became President. There are very few people in
    Government that have access to the world's knowledge. It is shared amongst an elite few and they are very
    secretive. When Truman was informed that UFO's were discovered a special part of the military was asked to analyze the material that was found.
    This military hired top scientists who were sworn to secrecy. Over time these technologies were adopted by
    defense contractors and slowly released to the public. The people who run these entities work in conjuction
    with the CIA. Only people at the top of these agencies know whats going on. Knowledge is power and "Power is knowledge"(eddiwhere 08). If the public
    had access to even a fraction of this knowlege these elites have, then there would be a panic. UFO's is just the tip of the iceberg. The President represents these
    elites and this is why they help protect this knowlege. It is like if someone discovered the original arc of the covenant and the original ten commandments.
    For example Muhammed was not visited by GOD but rather SATAN. Muhammed confused Satan for GOD. IF he thought GOD WAS SATAN then he would not follow his
    will. Think about it. The devil is very cunninPart of Evil is deception. If God had passed his message on to Humans. Would Satan not do the same. It is very difficult for
    humans to think like this. Muhammed thought God was telling him to conquer the earth until everyone became a Muslim and recognized there was only one GOD ALLAH.
    Satan is very powerful and very cunning. TOday we have people committing suicide in the name of ISLAM. THAT is what Satan intended to do. THis is his way of fighting
    GOD. ANd he did it in a genius way. He disguised himself like GOD and used Muhammed as his conduit.
    Muhammed confused Satan for GOD. IF he thought GOD WAS SATAN then he would not follow his will. Think about it.

    This is why MUHAMMED was so successful because he really believed he was carrying out the will of GOd and justified murder in his name.
    IF you read about Muhammed's life you will see that what I am stating is backed by facts.

    IT is hard for us humans to think outside of our '"domain" because we have been indoctrinated to think a certain way until knowledge hits us.
    Here is another example. If you bend space you can cross dimensions and therefore can literally step from one world to another without any time going by.

    I hope that the God that I serve would speak to the evil minded so called Christians and cleanse their hearts. Are these bible thumpers of whom the KKK was dirived fromtheir churches from more concerned with the Anti-christ as they should be their own umrepentant souls? If they had a hold of the true God they would understand that there is a time when the last should be first and African-Americans have been held down in that place for generations and a wise and capable man/candidate was allowed by God to come to lead this nation into a space away for where nearly a decade of greed in the preveious administration brought us too. In all that dispare how could we beliieve President-elect Obama could be a greater Anti-Christ than him who broke the economy and placed us in an unjustified war with someone other than our real enemies.

  • Posted By: epryor @ 11/18/2008 3:01:23 PM

    I have a question, does the Bible say the antichrist has 2 children? An if so, are they little antichrists as well, as they would be 1/4 satan?

  • Posted By: J Frank Parnell @ 11/18/2008 2:52:05 PM

    Absolute garbage. I used to respect Newsweek, but running an article that uncritically repeats this crazy stuff demonstrates how desperate they are to create controversy and court ignorant readers.

  • Posted By: all for change @ 11/18/2008 2:46:47 PM

    This is for whomever wrote this and to whomever who believes this ,you're crazy, and it sounds like you are jealous at the fact that obama has so many supporters and people who love him and the fact that a change has come.

    Daniel 9:27 mentions an "abomination that causes desolations" setting itself up in a "wing" or a "pinnacle" of the temple
    Can there be any doubt that bush is the Antichrist?

  • Posted By: mjfgates @ 11/18/2008 2:25:07 PM

    "Is Obama the Antichrist?" That a supposedly-reputable news magazine would even publish something under such a headline boggles the mind. The idea is patently ridiculous. What comes next-- articles about whether Vladimir Putin is actually a unicorn, or whether Hillary Clinton is the Loch Ness Monster?

  • Posted By: bojack27 @ 11/18/2008 2:19:32 PM

    Barack is not the Anti-Christ since the Anti-Christ is a spirit the was prevalent during the early 1st and 2nd century until today. Barack however is not a Christian in any sense of the word.

  • Posted By: neocon @ 11/18/2008 12:39:00 PM

    The tragic fact is that Christians have become the special targets of religious persecution in the world today.

    • Posted By: epryor @ 11/18/2008 12:50:20 PM

      This is a man that people of all races and religions adore. If you support Obama, a smear against him is like a smear against you. He will be the leader of our country and the religious right is smearing his name with this nonsense because they don't want a Black president. This kind of thing may result in assination attempt. It's disgusting. They deserve whatever persecution comes to them.

      • Posted By: neocon @ 11/18/2008 1:14:08 PM

        Epryor, first of all I am a Christian, but don???t believe BHO to be the anti-Christ. Second, I don???t adore him or agree with his positions or policies but he will be my president and I will be the ???loyal opposition???. I belief much of this has to do with BHO having several of the traits traditional associated with the AC, i.e. the adoring masses, very articulate, world support etc. You talk of ???This kind of thing may result in assignation attempt??? . If you knew the bible you would knew that if he was he couldn???t be killed.

        • Posted By: epryor @ 11/18/2008 2:08:32 PM

          I have read and studied the Bible. My readings say that he has non of the characteristics of the Beast. BO may be adored throughout the world, but that can be said of many others. And 666 in the Illinois lottery is a non-issue. That number comes around a lot. The Beast comes from the East and he is from the West. The Beast is a world leader, but BO is just the President of the US. The Beast does miracles. The Beast comes into power after the Rapture, not before. That's just the thing. He is very much human and can be killed. I didn't mean to offend you, but I don't think that the Christian right is facing any real prosecution in the US. The Christian approach seems to demean other religions as if to say "ours is the only valid religion, if you don't believe in Christ, you will burn in Hell". What kind of message is that? It is very offensive. The Jews approach to G-d is "how can I serve Him", while the Christian approach is "I am a pathetic, sinful creature. How do I avoid Hell?". I have never heard any other religion try to convert me with that kind of message. As far as persecution goes, if anything, Christians persecute others for not sharing their views, especially on abortion, when G-d himself has ordered the deaths of men, women and suckling babies. How many times have they said that someone who does not agree with them is the antichrist? This time it is different though, this BS made it to newsweek. There are children on schoolbuses chanting "assinate him", where did they get that from. There are burning crosses. There are lottery pools on when he will be assassinated. I think that a lot of them are such hippocrits. They oppose abortion, but are ready to go to war with little or no evidence. They are against gays, but how many of them in congress who rail against gays are really gay? I am not against all christians, but the ones who try to force their way of thinking on other people in the name of G-d.

    I believe Bush and McCain are both anti-christ. To do to the people what has been done from the repub point of view is more of an anti-christ ideology than anything pertaining to President Obama.

  • Posted By: Devils Rancher @ 11/17/2008 9:35:12 PM

    I... WHAT? Perhaps a third of all evangelicals are mentally unbalanced. I would like to see how that Pew study was conducted. Is it really that bad out there? What has happened to our public education system that has allowed us to become a nation populated by such vast numbers of superstitious, & ignorant people? I weep for our future, sometimes.

    No, I'm not an atheist, and my username is merely an amusing anagram.

      Atheists don't believe in devils.

    I disagree with Liberty University's Dean Mat Staver, who says: ." The people who believe Obama is the Antichrist are perhaps jumping to conclusions, but they're not nuts..." They're nuts, all right, and not only for thinking Obama might be the AntiChrist; they're nuts for buying into the whole Revelations BS. Further, they're nuts for thinking Jesus Christ is their God, whom they faithfully follow: They are warmongers while Jesus was an unconditional and passionate pacifist. They are haters while Jesus commanded them to love all, even their enemies. They are highly judgmental after Jesus told them not to judge. If they really want a good look at the anti-Jesus Christ people, they have to look no further than a mirror.

    Worldwide the antichrist will be considered to be the saviour.The same with Obama.In france 92 percent would have voted for him.and why?nobody knows.

  • Posted By: epryor @ 11/18/2008 1:00:40 PM

    Obama did not come from the East and does not have seven heads with ten crowns and ten horns and does not do miracles, he's NOT the antichrist. The antichrist comes into power AFTER the rapture if you believe that stuff.

    At this juncture in time, when we have just witnessed a republican VP candidate leading campaign rallies at which people were incited to shout accusations of "Terrorist" against the opposition candidate, along with threats to "kill him", it is the height of irresponsibility for Newsweek to print a column with the title "Is Obama the Anti-Christ". Contrary to Ms Miller's assertions, people who believe this nonsense, are not only "nuts",
    they are dangerous.

    President-elect Obama is a decent human being who exemplifies Christian principles both in his public life, speaking out for the underprivledged and disadvantaged as well as in his personal life, raising 2 beautiful young daughters in a loving and nurturing family. These kind of accusations against him are ludicrous, and should some nutcase attampt to make good on their threats against him, Newsweek should share accountability for giving these lunatics a forum to express these hateful ideas. What was your editorial board thinking?! This column should never have seen the light of day, let alone the pages of a national publication. I won't be renewing my subscription.

    • Posted By: maryvogt @ 11/18/2008 12:56:58 PM

      Agreed. Highly irresponsible and it's obvious why it was written.

  • Posted By: Willian C DeMuth @ 11/18/2008 11:32:04 AM

    I would truly hope that someone burns this authour at the stake.

    When some wacko Christian tries to murder him, as we know one will, this type of religious insanity will destroy our world. Newsweek shall have blood on thier hands.

    Shame on Newsweek for even printing this, it is worse than child porn. And woe onto those who still believe in such clap trap, it is time for thier ilk to go the way of the Zues and the other ridiculous reasons we have found for killing each other.

    God has always been a lie, and one I often found amusing, but this is sick and dangerous and an embarrasment to our society.

    • Posted By: maryvogt @ 11/18/2008 12:51:46 PM

      I agree 100%. Journalists who intentionally stir up hate - especially among a group this fanatic - is toying with a violent outcome. Very irresponsible, just like Palin's hate rallies.
