It looks as if even kids can get involved in negative campaigning nowadays.

A viral video features a 6-year-old child named Isaac Anthony offering "10 reasons not to vote for (President) Obama."

A group called Patriot Update posted the video, saying it reflects "a six-year-old who knows where he stands on political issues and the presidential election."

As of Wednesday afternoon, the video had attracted more than 180,000 views -- and many critical comments.

In one scene, criticizing Obama over gun control, the boy pulls out a toy pistol and fires it at the camera.

Anthony Sharwood of news.com.au lists "10 reasons this video is really wrong." Among them:

-- The video borders on child exploitation.

-- Not content to exploit a 6-year-old boy, it also features a baby and a little girl.

-- This is hardly the best week to show a kid firing a gun.
