From a discussion on bumper stickers that read "Obama is the Antichrist".
--
A citizen who calls a politican "The Antichrist" with a straight face is not your average person who follows the news. This person is a fringe radical, one who builds a pillbox in the backyard (for zee Germans) or who insists on sewing their own clothes and living in a box to "stick it to the man". When their ideological opposite is elected into office, they decide the country is circling the drain. As admirable as their rugged invidualism is, these people are motivated by fear, hatred and ignorance. Hence the extreme labeling. Sometimes racism is involved, as in the above example.
