Freakshow: Florida protest by ‘Blacks Against Obama’

Can this election season get any more bizarre? Of course we’ve got the PUMAs and the Log Cabin peeps displaying an incredible willingness to present embarrassing, debasing, credibility-crushing arguments in service of John McCain’s candidacy.

There is also a mind-boggling tiny anti-Obama “movement” backed by an anti-choice, anti-LGBT black preacher named Michael Warn. His followers put on a bit of unhinged performance art on Friday at a Barack Obama rally at the University of Miami, heckling and holding up signs that said “Obama endorsed by the KKK,” “Blacks Against Obama”, “Obama for abortions”, “Obama for gay marriage” Obama’s reaction (here’s the video):

Obama briefly paused and tried to calm the crowd down by telling the crowd to hold on. “Hey young people out there - it’s no problem for you to put your signs up, but let everybody - let me finish what I have to say, alright?,” he told the protesters as he stood on stage.

The group was escorted out shortly afterwards by security. “Alright guys, see ya,” Obama said as they left, “Alright, let’s get back to work.”

It would be a relief if I could say that this is some phony front organization put out there by the GOP, but alas, even the Republicans aren’t this insane. Warn’s folks believe:

* Black women are destroying the black man
* Oprah is the devil, leading all women down this path;
* Obama is the enabler of this destruction of the black man.

More below the fold.
From Warn’s “Michael Defeats Satan” web site:

People of the WORLD this BOOK OF TRUTH is your warning to separate from LILITH. For what communion has light with darkness. EVE is 67% of the BLACK WOMEN, the one that is GOOD and will help save us, ADAM THE BLACK MAN. THE BLACK MAN is almost extinct and LILITH the DRAGON will kill us all if EVE and we the people of the world don’t stop her. LILITH must be revealed. This WOMAN has made man in the world impotent and obsolete.

...WOMEN TOOK OVER IN AMERICA

When America gave women the right to vote. How? Because they out number men 40 to 1, women have the voting power in numbers, the majority. There are two hundred and sixty million people in America. Black LILITH has a thirty million person block vote.  Other nations of people consist of two hundred million people but they are separated. Ex. There are five million Irish, seven million Germans, eight million Scots etc. They all vote against each other, then LILITH the evil woman takes her thirty million block vote and join on to the women of other nations of the two hundred million voters under so called women issues, out numbering men completely.  When she is grown 6+6+6=18. She takes the power of 666 in Rev. 13:18 being the majority in America.  She takes her numbers and vote her men in who will do her will, and make the laws in her favor.

Sigh.

Women outnumber men 40 to 1?  Why don’t they just take over then?  And why is it so hard to find a freakin’ date?

Can this election season get any more bizarre?

As impossible as it seems, I’m putting the odds 100 to 1 in favor that it will.  Because the complete insanity seal was broken by Sarah Palin, and there will be full blown hallucinations come October.

Comment #2: Amanda Marcotte  on  09/20  at  09:28 PM

and there will be full blown hallucinations come October.

Well, so we’ve got that to look forward to, at least.  Frankly, I’m finding it harder and harder to deal with this election without altering my consciousness…

Comment #3: Bradley  on  09/20  at  09:30 PM

Whenever you see that much scribbly writing on signs intended to be held aloft during an event, you know.

You just know.

Kind of funny how it all looks like the same deranged person’s hand writing, too.

Comment #4: Ms Kate  on  09/20  at  09:41 PM

Sooo….. this organization should actually be called Angry Misogynists Against Obama? 

Man, someone really needs to tell the crazies to lay of the caps lock.

Comment #5: rowmyboat  on  09/20  at  09:45 PM

A friend of ours came over to pick up his kid, and we started discussing what we would put in a Sarah Palin Video Game.

My version of this warped into Sim Wasilla.  You get to be the Mayor, and you score points for the amount of damage you do to democracy, decency, reason and science, the environment, education, etc.  You also get bonus points for hypocrisy, and have to figure out how to get the city to pay to add rooms to your house every time your kid gets pregnant/gets someone pregnant. You score additional bonus points for policies that make the violent crime and rape rates rise.  Thus if your citizenry complains about crime or the polls put that as a high priority, you get extra points for actions that make that worse.

Comment #6: Ms Kate  on  09/20  at  09:47 PM

Warn’s folks believe:

* Black women are destroying the black man

Michael Warn is after our white wimmins.

Comment #7: The Cynic Sage  on  09/20  at  09:50 PM

I went to the website and watched their promotional video. It seems that they hate everyone that isn’t black and male.  This is a dangerous fringe group using religion to hide their hatred and bigotry

Comment #8: Renee  on  09/20  at  10:46 PM

Because they out number men 40 to 1

If this were true… we might actually be paid fairly, there might be a birth control pill for men, there’d be no arguing about abortion rights, etc. etc. etc.
*sigh*
I guess a poor grasp of math and inability to read census polls is crucial to this group…

There’s always some group that hates upon itself (Log Cabin Republicans) and what I don’t get is why. Is it the infiltrate from within strategy or..???
Where’s the reward?

Comment #9: Danica Lefse Queen  on  09/20  at  11:31 PM

Ms Kate - I’d play that.

40:1 statistic - whaaa?

Comment #10: Rebecca  on  09/20  at  11:33 PM

But, but, but religion is a civilizing influence.  It’s where our morals come from.  Something so universally good as religion couldn’t possibly be perverted in such a manner.

right.

Comment #11: ice weasel  on  09/20  at  11:33 PM

Something so universally good as religion couldn’t possibly be perverted in such a manner.

You mean, like this?

Comment #12: Ms Kate  on  09/20  at  11:43 PM

Another reminder (as if the guy on the bus weren’t enough) that melanin does not immunize against the craziness, and that no matter how far-fetched the beliefs, someone else will adopt said beliefs without batting an eye.

As for Log Cabin Republicans, better minds than ours have poked that conundrum and failed.

Comment #13: D. Potter  on  09/21  at  12:47 AM

I love that 40:1 statistic. It makes the crazy even more obvious, although LILITH the CAPSLOCK DRAGON did that, too.

Comment #14: Samantha Vimes  on  09/21  at  01:04 AM

Wow.  I like the part about how the Irish and the Scots are working against each other, yielding all power to black women.

Who you can tell are evil, because the age of consent is 18, that is 6+6+6.  Mark of the beast.

Comment #15: Mikey  on  09/21  at  01:11 AM

black LILITH…is pretty wonderful. When the hallucinations come I want to see black LILITH. Hello, Lucille…?

Comment #16: dooflow  on  09/21  at  01:21 AM

LILITH the CAPSLOCK DRAGON is even better.

Comment #17: dooflow  on  09/21  at  01:23 AM

Oh, crap! I’m 24. That’s 6+6+6+6… I’m 30% more evil than LILITH! Oh wait, I need to use Michael Warn Math. I’m 4000% more evil than LILITH!

Comment #18: Sara Pulis  on  09/21  at  01:26 AM

OK, where did Michael Warn lose 60 million + Americans?  There haven’t been 240 million of us for years and years.

And women get to vote at 18, which is 666, but…don’t MEN get to vote at 18, too?  Even BLACK MEN?  So…men shouldn’t be allowed to vote at all?

I’m all confuzzled here.

LILITH the CAPSLOCK DRAGON wins the internet.

Comment #19: Caren-Sun-blocking Creator of Animorphic Pancakes  on  09/21  at  01:48 AM

I know some medical scholars who should be interested in studying these cases of severe sexual paranoia.I believe Merck’s medical dictionary terms it “pussynoid dickophrenia”.

Comment #20: resident_alien  on  09/21  at  02:03 AM

Crazy group, but I think his talk of Oprah being the devil is just proof that he’s a fan of Kathy Griffin.

Comment #21: pro-life atheist  on  09/21  at  03:37 AM

can someone TRANSLATE THAT???
i mean, i got that he thinks women = evil, that all (most?) women are some sorta reincarnation of Eve (which… hello!? without eating the fruit of good and evil, adam and eve would never have had sex… so no US…). i know who Lilith is supposed to be… other than that, WHAT?????

Comment #22: denelian  on  09/21  at  03:46 AM

I personally like reason #2 not to vote for Obama: “Believes in abortions.”

Of course he does! It would be silly not to. They do happen to exist. Then again, I guess gay marraiges do too.

My, that graphic has some unfortunate wording.

Comment #23: luzzleanne  on  09/21  at  03:52 AM

LILITH the CAPSLOCK DRAGON is a fucking awesome name for a band.

But yeah, this Warn fellow is right up there with the Time Cube guy as far as the complete break from consensual reality goes.

Comment #24: Dan, Grand High Emperor of Bananas Foster  on  09/21  at  04:24 AM

Umm…
When someone’s screed veers off into Dr Bronner territory, it’s a pretty good sign that they’re dealing with a schizophrenia diagnosis.
This is another good argument for universal health care that includes sufficient coverage of mental health.
Or maybe Thorazine® on demand…

Comment #25: smartalek  on  09/21  at  10:23 AM

Most of the people I work with are BLACK WOMEN, so are they evil?

I wonder if any women belong to this particular sect.  And was he saying that sixty-whatever percent of BLACK WOMEN are EVE, or that BLACK WOMEN are sixty-whatever percent EVE each, or what?

I’m very confused.

Comment #26: INTPagan  on  09/21  at  12:29 PM

Reading the discourse of the insane is very instructive.  Now that I know that women outnumber men 40 to 1, I won’t worry so much about the viability of the human race.  For awhile there I thought we were doomed by gay marriage.

Comment #27: G Porgey  on  09/21  at  12:53 PM

The crazies really are coming out of the woodwork, eh? This Warn character makes the Log Cabin Repubs look positively sane. It’s like “Jews For Hitler” in 1930’s Germany.

I seem to recall some poor fool being tasered and arrested when he interrupted John Kerry at a speech not too long ago. While Kerry idly stood by & watched with serene approval.. Why wasn’t the same treatment doled out to Warn’s little group of self-loathing psychopaths?

Comment #28: John D.  on  09/21  at  01:46 PM

I went over and checked out this guys site and he is truly a scary individual.  Using religion to cover hate4 and ignorance is an old trick but it continues to be a useful tool to those who want to wrap their ignorance in moral superiority. 
While it is easy for us to sit and ridicule him and declare him just another wingloon nut job we would all do to remember that there are many in society who embrace these kinds of beliefs.

Comment #29: Renee  on  09/21  at  02:17 PM

Black women are teh win!

My mom is one and she kicks mighty butt.

Comment #30: Gozer, Ironman of Gaming  on  09/21  at  03:15 PM

the comments on the CBS news site for this story are equally unsettling…

Comment #31: Woodrowfan  on  09/21  at  05:20 PM

So, LILITH THE CAPSLOCK DRAGON is now a meme?

Comment #32: Damian  on  09/21  at  05:22 PM

Dear Citizen:
Are you ready yet for the November 4th Elections?  How about your friends, family, and neighbors? 
More Americans are expected to vote this year than ever before in history, so don’t be left out!  Be sure to ask everyone you know the following questions:
  Are you registered to vote?  If you moved recently, have you updated your voter registration?
  Did you apply for an Absentee Ballot?  Do you know your state may not require any reason? 
  Can you find your local Polling Place?  Do you know it may have changed from last time?
The answers to these questions—and all your voting needs—can be found at www.StateDemocracy.org—the FREE 1-Stop citizen empowerment portal that Delivers Democracy to your Desktop!  StateDemocracy is among the Internet’s first (since 2001) and most encompassing civic empowerment tools. 
In order to boost voter participation this year, StateDemocracy.org is offering FREE widgets for all 50 states.  You can simply download and embed these widgets into your own website so your visitors can register to vote, get an absentee ballot or find their local polling place.
Lobby Congress Via StateDemocracy
StateDemocracy.org also equips you to maintain an active dialog with your state and federal lawmakers once they are elected.  And RIGHT NOW is an especially opportune time to contact your U.S. Senators and House Member, as Congress takes up major legislation on such issues as offshore oil drilling, another economic stimulus package and all federal appropriations bills over the next few weeks.
As you lobby your elected officials, remember that lawmakers view your constituent input as reflective of scores of other citizens who felt similarly, but didn’t have (or take) the time to share their opinions.

Comment #33: Kathy  on  09/22  at  03:19 AM

Wow. He makes the timecube guy sound positively sane.

Comment #34: maatnofret  on  09/22  at  03:01 PM

This guy Warn isn’t a Christian, he’s a pagan phallus worshipper.

Apparently, Obama’s real sin is in marrying an educated Black woman and treating her like an equal instead of like a servant. Real Men (Tm) don’t let their women speak without being requested to do so.

I wonder what Warn would think of this weird guy who hung out with prostitutes, collection agency shills, women who had no men and ran their own household, defended a woman of uncertain marital status from an angry mob, and let some foreign woman argue him out of his initial decision. Scandalous! And to make things even worse, the weird guy did a gay man a favor.

(Jesus, unnamed woman, Matthew, Mary and Martha, the adulterous woman being stoned, the Syrophoenician woman; Jesus fulfilled the plea of a Roman centurion who requested that his sick “pais” be healed. “Pais” can be translated as younger male lover or as servant, though “doulos” is the more common word for servant.)

Comment #35: NancyP  on  09/23  at  12:54 AM

I’m officially going to start invoking Lilith the Capslock Dragon whenever I need to take a deity’s name in vain.  I think it may catch on. ::fingers crossed::

Comment #36: misskate7511  on  09/23  at  03:09 AM

Michael Warn’s philosophy is radical and silly, but this does not make O’Bama the answer for black Americans or anyone else. It’s a shame black citizens are being tricked by virtue of skin color and hope to support a candidate who has no interest in anything but his own ambitions.
