What would be wrong with this anyway?

Lately many McCain supporters have been throwing accusations around about Barack Obama. They’ve said that he is a Muslim and a socialist. Although Obama is neither, my question is why would either of these things be considered such a negative? I mean, I must admit I’m as terrified as the next person that we could be attacked at anytime by the likes of Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Cat Stevens(Yusuf Islam), and Mos Def. Also, look at all those horrible socialist governments such as Sweden and how they force their citizens to have free health care, free college, equal rights to all; hell, those evil bastards even make certain their elderly are well taken care of. And remember that awful Helen Keller? Another Goddamn socialist, of course.
Anyway, how is it that, we as a nation, have vilified people just because of their religious and/or political philosophies? I have to admit that this is a complete loss to me.
