Wonder if the Snopes Obama urban legend page will have to investigate this claim that he's the anti-christ! Or maybe the Washington Post "Fact Checker" blog will be on the case. Check this out...
From the NYT "The Caucus" blog:
A case in point came in Great Falls, Montana, where Obama took verbal whacks at John McCain, to loud applause. Afterward, you wander up to Justin Schultz, a 30-year-old fellow in a camouflage baseball cap who is standing with three friends.
What you think of Obama?
Schultz, who works maintenance at this arena, shakes his head. "I don’t think much of him at all.."
Why not? "He’s keeping something secret," Schultz says.
Perhaps against your better judgment, you push a touch further. What do you mean?
He leans in close and, as his friends nod in unison, confides. "I think he’s the anti-Christ."
He adds: "It’s just a gut feeling."
As one of the commenters on the story cannily noted, that must mean that the "end-of-days" evangelicals will be morally obligated to vote for Obama now! I'm guessing the Hagee endorsement is probably not coming any time soon, though.
Here's the link to the whole blog entry:
