“A Rather Benign, Doughy-Looking….”

…..Jackbooted thug.

The “sin” the “doughy-looking” fellow was punishing? Supporting John McCain.

On a Monday afternoon, September 15, 2008, three McCain volunteers were holding campaign signs and distributing leaflets on a busy corner of 51st Street and Lexington Avenue. As they were peacefully talking to each other, they were approached by a man who, in the words of the victim, provided the impression of “a rather benign, doughy-looking guy — not a person I would have expected to assault me.”

He rushed towards them, grabbed a McCain sign off a volunteer’s hands, and tore it apart. That didn’t seem enough.

This is how the victim describes it:

I said, “What are you doing? You can’t do that!” And he was red in the face screaming, “You people are ridiculous!” And I said, “Yeah, whatever, but you can’t do that.”
So I reached for the sign that he ripped up, and he grabbed another sign, broke it, and ripped it to shreds. And when I said, “You can’t do that,” he took the stick from the sign and started beating me on the head with it. He broke the skin on my head, he scratched my wrist, and almost broke my glasses, and then he left.

Did the Obama campaign condone this, encourage it directly? Of course not. But the fact that a supporter of Obama – as he rather obviously was – felt emboldened to take these actions speaks volumes about the mindset of the true believers. New York – and New York City in particular – will be an Obama lock. There is no contest there at all, it is “safe” for the Democrat party candidate.

Yet this doughy-looking hooligan felt he had to attack – and had the right to attack in Obama’s name – a smallish woman who dared to question the Messiah.

How’s that hopey-changey vibe working for you now?

Never ask The One a question. Never support anyone but The One.

Or Else.

Let Slip The Dogs Of War Smear

Wow. The campaign to crush Joe the Plumber, personally and professionally, is hitting full stride. The media, the left and Obama himself (triple redundant) are pulling out all the stops to destroy this man who dared to ask Obama a question.

Gives you that warm, fuzzy, hopey-changey feeling, doesn’t it?

Ask The One a question and you will be destroyed by any means at the media’s disposal. They will hunt through your garbage, comb the records and generally ignore everything else going on in the world until you are put out of work or jailed. They will unleash barrels of ink and terabytes of pixels on you and will smear you relentlessly.

Is this the change you wanted? Is this what you hoped for?

Is this going to happen to you if Obama approaches you and you dare to ask him a question?

Probably.

But there are signs that this is going to be a huge -biblically huge – mistake.
