Default Latest whisper campaign that's crossing over to Mainstream: Obama is the Anti-Christ.

It starts of course with chain e-mail:

snopes.com: Is Barack Obama the Anti-Christ?

Then it crosses over to the crazy-right wingers with a public outlet:

How Obama prepped world for the Antichrist

And eventually, a political campaign will make coded appeals to the whisper campaign:

An Antichrist Obama in McCain Ad? - TIME

Obama can head this off at the pass by accusing them of being racist.

Did you even bother to read my original post before you decided to pop in?

Do you know what mainstream means?

Washington Times - Ads compare Bush to Hitler

Jonah Goldberg's Goldberg File on National Review Online

Like it or not big politics brings out the worst in all from all sides and all angles. You can go back to early days of presidential elections and get smears and accusations across the board. Acting like its new is ignorant, being outraged when it happens to your guy is hypocritical.

Here's my whisper campaign: OMR worries about s**t that doesn't matter.

Look, this thing was set up perfectly for the Dems to win this fall. If Obama blows it the Dems have no one to blame, but themselves.

So you got the whisper campaign, the crazy guy with an outlet... where's the mainstream crossover?

And Jonah Goldberg? Author of "Liberal Fascism" is complaining about some teenager's Bush=Hitler sign at the latest anti-war protest? Irony.

We have had the debate regarding the electoral college many times.

I like it because it prevents leftists that occupy large cities from dominating the politics of the country. You hate it for the same reason. I'm happy about it and you're not. Good for me!!
