"The Action Wire serves as a means of arming our supporters with the facts to take on those who spread lies about Barack Obama and respond forcefully with the truth..." The Truth? Definitely Orwellian with a little Brave New World thrown in. I guess they are expecting the savages (Republicans) to go out and hang themselves. Here's a little philosophy for them. "The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth--it is the truth which conceals that there is none. The simulacrum is true." - Jean Baudrillard.

Didn't you get the Obama newsletter informing you that it is "free speech for me and those who agree with Obama but none for the evil Republican?"

I was warned that if we elected Bush an army of Brownshirts would try to silence free speech... and they were right. / End instapundit sarcastic commentaty

As each day passes, we see more and more ways in which "The Anointed One" resembles Hitler. How soon before, Christians, Conservatives, Republicans, Jews and any other group that dares to disagree with "The Anointed One" will be required to wear some form of outer identification, making it easy for those of the lunatic left to spot, ridicule, attempt to intimidate? We have seen the attempts by groups like "code pink" in their efforts to block access to recruiting offices of the US military. "The Anointed One" will only need to say that a certain group is "bothering" him and his mindless minions will fall into line and begin a campaign of harassment. Another comparison of the vile activity of those who worship "The Anointed One" is the members of the islamic CULT. We have seen how most of Europe has bowed before their barbaric behavior. Will "The Anointed One" and his worshipers attempt the same in our great nation? Should the American people be so asinine as to allow "The Anointed One" to occupy the Oval Office, do not be shocked to see more Hitler like actions including but not limited to concentration camps, especially for the Jews. The one difference might be the lack of gas chambers. "The Anointed One" and an administration of American haters would want to get all of the physical activity out of them as possible. I do not make such comments as a joke. The fear I have for this nation, should that boy occupy the White House is far greater than any joke, it is very real. The "brownshirt" actions speak far louder than any words ever could, and this is only during an election period. What could follow, with him in the Oval Office is simply too frightening to consider. When you step into that voting booth, PLEASE think and consider the far reaching consequences. Make certain that you have given sufficient thought to what can happen, and based upon the activity of those who support the candidates today tell you about the future under such a president. When you vote, it will not be just for the next four years, it could very well determine if our nation is to survive.

Some of the harassment includes death threats and property damage. Very serious stuff.

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
