47. There are some weird superstitions floating around evangelical circles about Beyonce

Thu Jan 22, 2015, 02:17 AM

Jan 2015

One of my conservative FB friends posted a very serious warning about Beyonce promoting devil/demon worship.

Followed the post down a rabbit-hole of weirdness. A whole website devoted to finding evidence that Beyonce either is or has an alter-ego that is a demon. Lots of screen-caps and photos catching her in unflattering positions (as will happen when someone is singing and performing intensely, of course.)

It was laughably stupid, but obviously these people take crap like this very seriously. The website and the comments on it were fanatic about warning people to keep their kids away from this seemingly innocent performer who was, honest to gawd, trying to convert or transform children.

Huckabee's bizarre obsession with her, and his fixation on the Obama's being culturally deficient for letting their daughters listen to her songs, suggests to me that he buys into all this at some level. Perhaps he realizes that if he went full-on "Beyonce is a demon" in public, he realizes he would get ridiculed (or possibly sued!) so he is dog-whistling the whole thing.
