I worked for the Kerry presidential campaign years ago, and people literally put fliers on car windows while people were in church that said John Kerry wants to kill your babies. Yes you have to be pretty dumb to believe that, but if you believe it because nobody would have said that if it weren't true, then it really would be your obligation to protect the world from this horrible man. The same things happen over and over again, with abortion, gay rights, women's rights (forced unisex bathrooms anyone?). It's crazy what people will believe.
