In NJ, You Might be the Anti-Christ if…Your Name’s Obama

obamadevil A new poll by Public Policy Polling shows some fascinating attitudes among New Jersey residents, particularly conservatives. The most stunning result is that 35% of NJ conservatives think President Obama might be the Anti-Christ (yes, he hyphenates, and with a maiden name like Anti, wouldn’t you?), with 18% being sure that he is.

What the poll doesn’t tell you is that being the Anti-Christ in New Jersey doesn’t even qualify you to play on our hockey team.

The poll also finds a whopping 68% of conservatives entertaining the idea that Barack Obama is not a natural-born US citizen. I wish there was a way to find out how extensive the overlap is, as I would love to interview the people who think he’s the Anti-Christ, but have no problem with his citizenship.

While Jimmy Carter’s remarks about the “intensely demonstrated animosity” toward the President have been morphed and dismissed by the White House, results like these certainly do indicate that there’s something different going on here. If it’s not racism, perhaps it is “Rapture-ism” or some such. In any case, the belief that the President is literally an illegal immigrant from Hell seems to have little grounding in policy or ideological differences.

Anti-Christ, Devi, NJ, obama, Tommy Christopher

That is about as nonsensical of four paragraphs as I have read in a long time. That takes in to account a great many idiotic posts on many message boards through out the inner tubes.
You might want to delete this post and pretend it never happened.

This is the big stupid headline when in reality:

There is a fair amount of political extremism among New Jersey voters, as there is
everywhere right now. 21% of voters in the state don’t think Barack Obama is a natural
born US citizen and 19% believe George W. Bush had advance knowledge of 9/11. 8%
of voters go so far as to say they think Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ.

Why isn’t the big headline 19% of the lunatics in NJ are 9/11 “Truthers”???!!!!!

ChuckfromTacoma, everything you just said applies to your own posts.

While entertaining and an interesting tidbit of information, once again, I wonder about the media angle of this post.

So does NJ require 24/7 viewing of Fox News in all homes? Because this is the type of idiocy one would expect.

lol this is the GOP base. Yes sure, we want these people in charge of our nukes please.

With 21% of the people in NJ being “Truthers” it sounds like they are watching MSLSD.

Alex Jones is the biggest truther in America. He’s hardly left-wing. He hates Obama just as much as you do. He also uses the same arguments.

LOL, I agree with supersmart. But then again, with regards to the Jimmy Carter comments, I have to agree with Fox just this time. http://www.newsy.com/videos/jimmy_carter_makes_his_voice_heard. Think it’s time to move on and stop perpetuating racist (and religious) remarks and judgments.
