I read it in an email, so it must be true.

If one more person forwards an email to me without first checking the accuracy of its contents...

I've said this before, but recent forwards inspire me to say it again. www.snopes.com is your friend.

Barack Obama is not the anti-Christ. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/antichrist.asp

Ken Blackwell wrote a follow-up article after his original article was manipulated by others to include the claim that Obama is the anti-Christ. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/blackwell.asp and http://www2.nysun.com/opinion/cowardly-abuse-of-freedom/

Barack Obama did not refuse to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and he isn't a radical Muslim. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp

And one I haven't received by email, but ran across on Snopes, Bill Clinton did not quietly do away with people who opposed him. http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/bodycount.asp

And, though I heard it presented as a factual news story on the radio in 1996, some guy didn't have his kidneys stolen at a party. Check out the real-life unfortunate consequences of that email hoax. http://www.snopes.com/horrors/robbery/kidney2.asp

If you send me such an email, I will "reply to all" with the link from www.snopes.com that holds the truth. You'll feel silly and all 50 people you forwarded it to will know that you're a sheep.

I'm not a fan of the perpetuation of lies about ANY candidate. Even those I wouldn't vote for.
