This is all opinion, of course, not fact.
I fail to see any real examples of "anti-business".
And regulating business is not "anti-business".

For the same reason many who leaned right didn't understand why the liberal base portrayed Bush as an "Anti-Christ" figure practically.

When the guy in power tends to lean more in your ideological direction than the other way it becomes harder to understand why the other side hates him so. This isn't new.

You've got it all wrong, CHENEY was the anti-Christ.

It's what the right does. It's how they try to win elections. They know Democrat policies appeal to the masses so they rely on fear to try to scare the public into voting for the Republican candidate. Pepper in fringe issues like Democrats will murder your babies and how gay marriage will make homosexuality acceptable and they have all their bases covered with fear and Conservatives running to the polls.

Oh, right. And Democrats don't try to scare people with, say, images of old people being thrown over cliffs. And that's the mild, penny-ante stuff.

Criticizing the practice? Totally fair. Pretending your side is lily-white? Partisan hackery.

The efforts against social security are coming from where exactly?

Finding exceptions that break the rule doesn't help the image of the right who portray Liberals as anti-christs regularly. And by more main stream players than the obscure one you linked.

All this shows is that you don't notice what your own side does. So, yeah, partisan hackery.

Idiots or fools maybe, anti-Christ is going a bit far.
