The American Mind

A Democrat willing to fight back against the GOP smear machine?

I’d call that a “new kind of politics”.

Obana was quoting from a James Bond movie.

Has no one heard of using quotes for symbolic, not literal, value?

So much hyperventilating for the sake of hyperventialting.

Based on his campaign’s behavior it’s more about hitting and punching than actual debate. “New politics” was nothing but a marketing slogan packaged with a new face. Sad.

Obama is taking the presidential campaign in a predictably ugly direction when he starts using the language of the ghetto to make his point. I doubt that the McCain campaign would bring a “knife” to any fight. Sen. McCain has said that he will run an ethical campaign, and I believe him. Obama’s latest hyperbole only serves to illustrate his true mindset. He came up through the dirty street politics of Chicago’s South Side, and now it shows.

The South Side, in case any of you don’t know, is the grimy underbelly of Chicago. It is full of drug dealers, whores and paroled felons. East 57th Street, near the University of Chicago looks like something out of a Fallujah, Iraq guidebook. And this is where Obama made his political bones. This is where he built his base.

It is therefore no surprise that he would express himself like a South Side “gangstah” when attempting to motivate his followers. You will hear more of this from Obama. And then he will turn around and, through surrogates of course, call every criticism of himself “racist”. This is going to be a very interesting campaign season.

It is eerily reminiscent of Hitler’s rise to power in 1930’s Germany. A seeming buffoon who the liberal old guard thought they could control, Hitler rose to unprecedented power by labelling every attack, every criticism not “racist” but rather “communist”. Then he advocated violence to silence his political oppostion. Any political opponent who brought a knife to a NAZI gunfight was dispatched very quickly indeed. The labels are different, but the tactics remain the same.

Obama most certainly must have read “Mein Kampf” before planning his campaign. He appears to be following the same blueprint. It is no surprise then that this is the kind of political campaign he is contemplating. Given his political origins on the South Side of Chicago where such practices are quite common, none of this is surprising.

“Obama again said that the GOP will make try to make him look “scary” to voters.” I think it would take the crew that did they special effects for the lord of the rings trilogy to make little Barry look Scary! (unless of course they bring out his lack of experience, his associates, & his foreign policy credientials…. but that would only be scary if he actually became the president!
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,”
