Here's a sad monument to the sleaziness of this U.S. presidential campaign: Almost one-third of voters "know" that Barack Obama is a Muslim or believe that he could be.
In short, the political campaign to transform Obama into a Muslim is succeeding. The real loser as that happens isn't just Obama, but America's entire political process.
A Pew Research Center survey released a few days ago found that only half of Americans correctly know that Obama is a Christian. Meanwhile, 13 percent of registered voters say that he is a Muslim, compared with 12 percent in June and 10 percent in March.
More ominously, a rising share - now 16 percent - say they aren't sure about his religion because they've heard "different things" about it.
When I've traveled around the country, particularly to my childhood home in rural Oregon, I've been struck by the number of people who ask something like: That Obama - is he really a Christian? Isn't he a Muslim or something? Didn't he take his oath of office on the Koran?
In conservative Christian circles and on Christian radio stations, there are even widespread theories that Obama just may be the Antichrist. Seriously.
John Green, of the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, says that about 10 percent of Americans believe America may be in the Book of Revelation's "end times" and are on the lookout for the Antichrist.
A constant barrage of e-mail and broadcasts suggest that Obama just may be it.
The online Red State Shop sells T-shirts, mugs and stickers exploiting the idea. Some shirts and stickers portray a large "O" with horns, above a caption: "The Anti-Christ."

Vote for “The One,” otherise you’re a racist.
Maybe they don’t think he is a Christian because he promotes infantacide and promotes Gay marriage and promotes sex education to kindergarteners.
Hmmm maybe that is why.
The only thing that makes me wonder about him being a muslim is their is proof. As long as you sign the pledge to uphold black identity in Rev Wrights church you can be a muslim.
Joining a church and being baptized as a Christian are two different things. He as neve admitted to being baptized.
The real sham is Obama attempting to pass himself off as a patriotic, “post-racial” American. In fact, his entire life adult life has been about class and racial antagonism and anti-Americanism. He hates the engines of wealth in this country that have produced the excess money allowing people like him to make a living as a street agitator, producing absolutely nothing.
And Rush finally addressed today that BHO is an Arab (white mother aside) and not a true “black” American. I was hoping this would come out.
