Inspiration: Barack Obama "Fired Up"

His critics pick away with substantive epithets like "seductive," "stylized" and "alluring." The word "eloquent" becomes a pejorative knock. They say "hope" is hollow. They perceive "change" to be illusory.

After eight dispiriting years - no style, no substance, no nothing - I can use a bit of inspiration, some soaring quixotic appeals, on the off-chance he can back them up. Obama peddles these lofty wares and I'm buying. Let's pray the goods are not second-rate.

"Vote McCain, Not Barack Hussein"

Conservative radio's new group-think perceives the feral left as much more virulent and hateful than the right despite the media elite's skewed vision of the campaign trail. The coterie of GOP pundits warns of a powder keg situation created by the left's never-ending quest to squash dissent and install their world view on the American people. They warn of violence in the wake of a McCain-Palin victory.

Really.

How many video clips can I post:



Yeah, you guys are the victims here. Cry me a river.

McCain-Palin Sued For Incitement

A 66-year-old Kansas City granny sues McCain-Palin for the promotion of hate speech. Her complaint alleges, inter alia, that the McCain campaign "intentionally, recklessly and irresponsibly portrayed Barack Obama as un-American, a terrorist by association . . . not like us, and a non-white individual."

The long-in-the-tooth litigator equates Barack Obama to a "modern-day JFK" and fears for his safety. However, she offers a quid pro quo: voluntary dismissal of the claim in return for an unqualified denouncement of these "death threats" by McCain-Palin coupled with a stern warning that the "intruders" issuing these threats will be excluded from future rallies.

Of course it's frivolous, but give granny credit: she paid the $350 filing fees.
