Over at Jezebel's "crappy hour," the following exchange may be telling:
my friend ryan was telling me that he was at Dunkin Donuts the other night (in Philadelphia) and an old Italian lady was like "you two! Who are you voting for? John McCain, or the black guy?" And him and his boyfriend were like "um, the black guy!" and the old lady got a spooky look in her eye and said "you know he's a COMMUNIST."
Meanwhile, I have a friend here who told me a couple weeks ago that his ex-wife got all spooky looking when he told her he was voting Obama. "You know he's a MUSLIM," she said.
I guess if McCain can transition from secular conservative to Chistianist ass kisser, Obama can make a similar journey from Islamofascist to godless Stalinist. But I'm not sure what this reveals about America, other than that some very stupid people really, really don't like Barack Obama.

what's a Chistianist?
Ahh, yes think of the word "Islamist" and all its lovely connotations.
Actually forget that. Just read this instead:
