Why do they believe that? The fact that he spent two years in a Muslim school?
If Obama wins the nomination, will some Republicans be campaigning against him as "the antiChrist"? Will political attack ads portray him as Satan's representitive on Earth?

This website follows the attack ads pretty close and it seems they've stayed away from attacking him too much. And he definitely hasn't done any attack ads.

A couple of things you may not know:
Fundamentalist Christians welcome the antichrist... without him there can be no rapture.
The antichrist will bring on an era of peace preceding armageddon.
Liberals don't consider George W. Bush to be the antichrist. Nutjobs of the genus leftwing may say he is but none of us actually believe it.
The antichrist will be incredibly charismatic, hence why they are probably spreading stuff about Obama but...
The antichrist will be the mirror image of Jesus Christ. So he'll be male (check), brown of skin (check), the aforementioned charisma (check... holy crap!!!!), dead by 33 (uh oh), and Jewish (damn it!). Obama is 45 and a member of the United Church of Christ. I understand fundamentalist Christians were watching the career of the young Will Smith with interest but he never converted to Judaism. The smart money is now on Usher or Bow Wow.
Seriously though... even though your question was asked out of either inexcusable ignorance or a vile need to slander I will take a portion of your question seriously... the absolute best hope Obama has of winning in a general election is for racist propaganda to be used against him. It may motivate a small percentage of the electorate but it will scare away a lot more people. The GOP's best chance to defeat him would be to remove the issue of race from the...er... race. People will feel more free to exercise their closet racism if the issue is not front and center.
My guess? Some group will not be able to help themselves and will buy air time in a regional market in the South and say incredibly stupid and racist things about Senator Obama. This will get picked up by the media... hello President Elect Obama! I look forward to that day. But I doubt any one is going to use Obama is the Antichrist ads because everyone would just assume they were gags.

Lamplight, I'm surprised at you. I've read some of your past postings and you've never struck me as being a "troll." In fact, as much as I disagree with a lot of your political views, you've always seemd genuine and realivey well though out. So what's this? Rabble-rousing? Looking for affirmation?
Here it is in a nut shell (perhaps bad choice of words to be sure).
If actions speak louder than words, then we should ignore his words and look solely at his history. Just like Hillary (and a lot of other politicians -- regardless of affiliation, have suddenly "found" religion. All in an attempt to whoo voters. Obama has done the same. Born and raised a muslim, he "found" religion (probably with intent to get into politics) as a Christian convert. How often have you heard of that happening?
So, if you've read the Judeo/Christian Bible, you know that Christ taught "Love the God" and "Love thy neighbor." He also forwarned that there would be others to follow, claiming to be prophets of God, but that He was the last. All others, will be deceivers and liers. And then, some 600 years later, along came Mohammad -- claiming to be a prophet. He taught that the follwers of Judaism and Christianity are bad and should be wiped from the face off the earth (per chapter 9 of the Qu'ran). So, "Love thy neighbor" VS kill all those who believe and let Allah sort them out. Revelation VS Chapter 9 of the Qu'ran. Now, I grant you, most "Christians" have never actually read a single passage from the Qu'ran, but if you were a true practicing Christian and were well read on such matters, what would you conclude? I'll go you a step further, so long as Im going to draw so much fire and thumbs downs, if you read a biography of both Mohammad and John Kerry, you'd find they are hysterically similar. Both were born nobodies, both wanted to be more than what they were. Both were ignored by the masses until they married money. Suddenly, they were someone and people listened...
So, why is it that there are so many people here on Answers who ask questions when truly, they don't want to hear (read) the facts? They ask only to see how many others are as stupid as they and confirm in their own feeble minds that because the masses agree with their warped perspective, that they must be right. What's up with that? At least I base my answers on certifiable, verifiable fact.

Nope. There is no logic. But, you rarely find that in politics, anyhow. The rumor mill is just throwing nonsense out there so fools will repeat what they heard. Example: this question.
They hope one out of a thousand idiots, at least one will pick up on it and spread it around. Couldn't hurt, right?

They think that because they can smell the hope of peace on him. Any peacemaker smacks of the antichrist to them as he is supposed to bring about world peace.

He's the only one I would even consider voting for, there's more "evidence" that Bush is the anti-christ than Obama if you beleive in stuff like that.

Republicans think that anyone who isn't a white Christian male is the antichrist.

I'm not sure I've heard that one over the noise from the left about Bush being the Anti Christ...

I don't think he can make it through the primaries but if he did the Republicans will play on their redneck wing's racist fears.
