he’s more than happy to find the closest Democrat so that he can wipe his hands clean of the Domestic and International issues facing America. No, really, I mean it….LITERALLY.

from Harris Interactive. I’m not sure which is more frightening–that 23% of of the 2,320 adults polled believe President Obama is the Antichrist–or that 23% of the adults polled actually believe there is, or will be, an AntiChrist.

Not suprisingly, the less educated people among those polled held the most radical views:

The less education people have had the more likely they are to believe all of these statements. Consider these differences between those with no college education and those with post-graduate education:

• He is a socialist (45% and 20%)
• He wants to take away Americans’ right to own guns (45% and 19%)
• He is a Muslim (43% and 9%)
• He was not born in the United States so is not eligible to be president (32% and 7%)
• He is a racist (28% and 9%)
• He is anti-American (27% and 9%)
• He is doing many of the things Hitler did (24% and 10%).

After reviewing these findings, John Avlon comments, “These new numbers are shocking but not surprising – they detail the extent to which Wingnuts are hijacking our politics. This poll should be a wake-up call to all Americans about the real costs of using fear and hate to pump up hyper-partisanship. We are playing with dynamite by demonizing our president and dividing our country in the process. Americans need to remember the perspective that Wingnuts always forget – patriotism is more important than partisanship.”

It sure seems like Lincoln is the proverbial sinking ship and Arkansas’ Democratic voters will ultimately want to cast their vote for Halter–you know the guy who actually has a chance of winning the election.

From the piece:

The Democratic numbers are particularly salient given the primary — Halter’s (thus far) positive campaign has done wonders for his own approvals. That’s why the Lincoln campaign was, today, the first of the two to go negative, sending out a direct mail piece (PDF) attacking Halter for serving on the board of two biotechnology firms who ran into legal troubles (even though he had nothing to do with those troubles). Weak stuff, and certainly the actions of a campaign that is feeling the heat.
