Quote:
Two months ago, Vanderslice founded a Democratic PAC called the Matthew 25 Network and soon noticed that the negative e-mails she received from conservative Christians fell into two general topical categories: abortion, and the assertion that Obama is the Antichrist. The cataloging of similarities Obama shares with the Antichrist began nearly two years ago. But it picked up steam in February 2008 after he racked up a string of impressive primary victories. A Google search for "Obama" and "Antichrist" turns up more than 700,000 hits, including at least one blog dedicated solely to the topic. A more obscure search for "Obama" and "Nicolae Carpathia" yields a surprising 200,000 references.


Are there any policies involved in US presidential politics at all?

I'd consider "be"ing the Antichrist a pretty explicit policy.

Errr, WTF? Is it the horns, the tail and the pitchfork that give it away?

It's incredible, but that kind of ploy actually does has traction over there. Like the swift boat thing.

Meanwhile, BushCo and McCain really actually are terra-forming space aliens, for real, but does this ever get mentioned? Nooooo.
