Re: Behold Your Demon Hero President
Obama contributor/supporter Mark Burnett (Exec Producer) comments:
“History channel has the highest respect for President Obama," a statement from the History channel read. "The series was produced with an international and diverse cast of respected actors. It's unfortunate that anyone made this false connection. History's 'The Bible' is meant to enlighten people on its rich stories and deep history."
“This is utter nonsense," Burnett said. "The actor who played Satan, Mehdi Ouzaani, is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor. He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics -- including Satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our President.”
"Both Mark and I have nothing but respect and love our President, who is a fellow Christian," Downey added. "False statements such as these are just designed as a foolish distraction to try and discredit the beauty of the story of The Bible.”
And we all know who is a very talented designer of "foolish distractions" don't we?

Re: Behold Your Demon Hero President
Satan, and bad guys in general, are often portrayed as dark - sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally. Probably denizens of "the Moors" weren't that happy with the portrayal of Othello. Darth Vader didn't wear summer white, did he? Does portrayal of an evil person as dark or black have racial overtones. IMNVHO, probably. OTOH, doesn't the Bible itself reference God as light and Satan as dark? Isn't "Prince of Darkness" a biblical term?Vrede wrote:I can see the resemblance to Obama being unintentional but still, a light skinned European to play Jesus and a dark skinned African to play Satan? Don't they have actors in the Middle East and why not a Swede to be the devil?

Re: Behold Your Demon Hero President
Behold the sore loser kook who still can't get used to the fact that Obama won
a second term. Ever notice the nutjobs like to talk about other people's lack
of civility, but they never show much themselves?

Or, looking at it from a broader standpoint, all life comes from the Sun - or at least without the Sun there would be no life here. Light is good. Dark not so much. So creating a vision of polar opposites good vs. evil, you get light vs. dark. I have no doubt there are some who intentionally portray the 'bad guy" as black, and who are shocked when they go to see something like "Django Unchained" or "Blazing Saddles" for that matter and the black guy wears the white hat. I don't doubt there are movies where the "bad guys" are clearly political. Some say that applies to "Avatar." I don't really think this is one of those occasions. Interesting part, though, is that Turks seems to think the show was a documentary and "exposed" Obama as Satan, rather than taking the approach that the producers had politicized the Biblical story.

Re: Behold Your Demon Hero President
WOW! A few posts on my part and you little ladies have your tits all twisted. Pull your skirts up and STFU. You sound like a bunch of ass-wipes. All yer bitchin' and whinin' and digging up old posts to make a point duller than the ones atop your heads. Attacking moderators at other forums out of jealousy...very impressive indeed. No wonder you're one sad sack of sorry shits that everyone is laughing at. How many posters does it take for a circle jerk? The whole board here...all 3 of you.

Perhaps Turks is just testing the waters to see how much of a troll he can be and still not get banned, unlike his home base where he is protected by the cowardly moderator who bans anyone who causes his loyal subjects to question his bullshit.

Re: Behold Your Demon Hero President
http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/03/1 ... -nonsense/In a statement, miniseries producer Mark Burnett called claims there was a resemblance "utter nonsense."
Burnett said the actor who played Satan, Mohamen Mehdi Ouazanni, "is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor. He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics – including Satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our President."
Ouazanni has had roles in two biblical TV movies – "Jeremiah" and "The Ten Commandments."
Executive producer of the miniseries Roma Downey, Burnett's wife, added, "Both Mark and I have nothing but respect and love our President, who is a fellow Christian. False statements such as these are just designed as a foolish distraction to try and discredit the beauty of the story of The Bible."

I did not express a dissenting view, and I was entirely polite. I was banned after just one post, simply because I had previously disagreed with Bowhunter/nascarfan88 on another forum and he cried to his nursemaid.
