B.C. and A.D? Get with it, old man. It's B.B./A.B. now. And George W. might have been "misunderestimated" as he engaged in "strategery." But that's so, like, yesterday. Barack Obama is "pre-deortained." By whom? Spike Lee stopped short of saying it is God's hand at work. But he was clearly speaking in quasi-religous terms as he discussed The One on today's "Morning Joe."
SPIKE LEE: I say, it's very simple. You have B.B.: Before Barack and A.B.: After Barack.And a bit later . . .
LEE: What he's done is historic. This coalition which he's gotten: black, white, Hispanic, Asian, gay, straight, whatever. It's come together, and this has never been done before. And I think this thing is, predeortained or whatever you want to call it. I'm not gonna say that it's God. But this is not a mistake this is happening now. I don't think it's a mistake it's happening, that he's here when this country is at its lowest in many, many years.Bonus Coverage: Lives in Manhattan, Votes in Brooklyn?
Asked about his Election Day plans, Lee let this drop . . .
LEE: Even though I live in Manhattan, I still vote out of Brooklyn, so I'm going, November 4th I'll be the first in line in Brooklyn then I'm going to LaGuardia to take the United flight to Chicago. I'll be in Chicago all day.
Hmm, so Spike lives in one county but votes in another. Sounds like a voter ACORN could be proud of!

October 28, 2008 - 09:48 ET by theduck6Why does aaaaaneeeebodeeee give two piles of poo what a racist like Spike Lee thinks? Is it the fair chance he's gonna spew some frothing invective about Bush, McCain or Palin?
Don't you think
October 28, 2008 - 09:48 ET by katiejaneSpike would be offended if someone said - yes, some do think the Bible talks about an Anti-Christ? j/k

October 28, 2008 - 09:49 ET by sawing battasounds like Dr. Spike Freud meant to say, "pre-DETAINED"

Gimme a break
October 28, 2008 - 09:56 ET by KC MulvilleOh please ...
you're right KC
October 28, 2008 - 10:08 ET by candanceObama has brought peace and harmony to our generation. He has bridged the racial divide...and if you're not on his side we will demonize you every way we can.
No, Spike (or is it
October 28, 2008 - 10:02 ET by sshuffield70No, Spike (or is it Shelton?) Obama was not pre-deortained. Heck, he's not even The Messiah, despite what Calypso Louie thinks.
It's still B.C./A.D., just as it's been for 2000 years.
How I want Obama to lose...
October 28, 2008 - 10:14 ET by HeavyChevyso BAD you just don't believe how bad I want him to lose.
Just to see the crushing blow on the MSM and Hollywood's faces, to bask in their tragedy knowing that all of their hopes and dreams has been annihilated, that each and every last one of them; White,Black, gay, straight would all run into the bathroom hop in the tub run some hot water and slit their wrist all at once knowing that their savior has failed.
To all of you Republicans/conservatives out there who don't like McCain...suck it up, hold your nose and vote for him because the alternative will be a lot worse!
