First, I will provide you a transcript and link of a conversation that occurred on Glenn Beck’s Headline News Show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyifSg5RtXw).
“BECK: Let me ask you, because I got -- I get so much e-mail on this, and I think a lot of people do, and I`ve only got a couple of seconds. They say Glenn, you and the media, you`ve got to wake up. Barack Obama`s making people faint and cry and everything else. And he`s drawing people in. There are people -- and they said this about Bill Clinton that actually believe he might be the anti-Christ. Odds that Barack Obama is the anti-Christ?
HAGEE: No chance. He has a lot of charisma. There`s a media love affair with him right now. He is a very formidable political person. I believe the best leader for
BECK: Thank you very much, Pastor.
Back in just a second. That`s good news, at least where I stand.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
BECK: Well, it`s good to know that Barack Obama is not the anti-Christ.
Welcome back to the program.
Keith Olbermann, in his joke of a television show that draws less viewers at 8:00 P.M. than O’Reilly draws in his rerun at 11:00 P.M., merely spoke Glenn Beck’s statements in a tone that did not at all reflect Beck’s intonation. Obviously, one could look at this statement “There are people – and they this about Bill Clinton that actually believe he might be the anti-Christ. Odds that Barack Obama is the anti-Christ” and see that Beck is mocking the reactionaries who blindly insert Revelation for every charismatic person or weather change the world sees. I do not see how it could be any clearer – Beck is MOCKING those who think Obama is the anti-Christ. He even follows that up by self-depreciatively saying “good to know that Barack Obama is not the anti-Christ,” which is obviously sarcasm. Those criticizing Beck for insinuating any false charges must feel that Beck previously and actually thought Obama was/is the anti-Christ, or must not have listened/read the entire clip or transcript.
