Not hubris – but the literal Antichrist. This is awful. It's like they're courting some evil act.

So this is how you reach right wing Christians? Impute hubris to your opponent, and then they all rush to you? Surely it's a little trickier. Tell me it is. Tell me the little string on their backs is harder to find, let alone to pull.

If my grandma was still with us, she'd be saying the same thing. I think for her it was more about subtle racism. She still distrusted Asian people because of all the anti Japanese newsreels she saw as a young adult. I know similar propaganda has been out about blacks as well. I think this group of people will be outdone by the sheer number of new people that Sen. Obama has brought into the process. All I can remember is that almost 400 people came to my precinct caucus. All but 60 of them voted for Obama!

My Grandmother is not senile nor does she have that one disease where you forget stuff…can't remember the name of it. Anyway, my Grandmother thinks Obama is the anti-christ…literally. Or wait, maybe she said the devil. I can't remember which one she said she thinks he is. But she truly believes it! She thinks he is an evil doer and comes from hell.
