Holy crap, this might be a whole new level of the right wing just giving into their anger and panic over the fact that Americans were willing to elect a black Democrat as President twice in a row. Bill O'Reilly brought this religious crank, Robert Jeffress, on the basically argue that Obama is the opening act for the Anti-Christ. I mean, he clearly wants you to believe that Obama is basically the Anti-Christ, but he knows that argument sounds crazy. So he, uh, tries to dial it down by saying, no, he's just the warm-up act. Of course, that still means he believes that the Anti-Christ is coming and that Obama works directly for Satan, but in nutty Christian talk, saying Obama is merely a horseman of the apocalypse instead of the big boss is taken for moderation.

This will make life a lot easier on gay parents, who currently have to carry like 15 kinds of proof of legal custody in order to travel over national borders with their children. Fox News reported on it, and naturally, they had to give plenty of space for professional bigots to screech about the evils of a decision that quite literally has nothing to do with them, and is probably something they wouldn't even notice if they weren't trolling around looking for reasons to believe gays have too much freedom of movement.
