You will never believe it, but a vast majority of Obama-enemies does not know how restricted the power of a President is and how protecting the Constitutional freedom of speech in America is by law, court and law-enforcement. There is no knowledge about how the American democracy works and the right-wing media use that ignorance shamelessly to monger fear against Barack Obama, an unknown Al-Caeda-member, who tries to become president of the United States of America.
This soundtrack is an example.
Conspiritists were not always that concerned. Saying of Obama:
"He is a ringer, folks. He's meant to take a dive for John McCain. So this is nonpartisan. The facts are in. He will be destroyed in this election."
