No worries. They are just dismantling Obama's personality--you know, post-modern deconstructionism.
What I don't understand is why McCain/Palin deliver the invectives against Obama in an angry tone. If they were said in a tone dripping with honey, they'd be able to hit one of psychologist Searles six classic gaslighting techniques and really confuse him.
The mystery is how did McCain evolve into being a self professed hero WHILE BEING A WAR CRIMINAL AND TRAITOR. McCain does not support Veterans 80% of the time, he votes to fund the VA, Veterans Administration, 20% of the time and consistently votes to DENY BENEFITS TO Veterans that he has enjoyed since his birth in a U.S. government hospital and his Annapolis appointment which was secured because of his Admiral father's political connections. McCAIN DID NOT GO TO ANNAPOLIS BASED ON MERIT. McCain has lived on his government benefits for his whole life, which includes his 5 years by the Vietnamese government EVEN THOUGH HE ADMITTED AND CONFESSED TO BEING A WAR CRIMINAL THERE.McCain routinely denies the same benefits he enjoys to others, especially Veterans.
What you said:~ Glad to add Disclaimers.
One day, surrounded by lush jungle trees.
a grunt went and 'shot himself' in the foot.
A mean CC officer judged:`Grunt is scared.
So, no copter was called until morning to retrieve a young pfc who wanted out of a insane war. So, poor g.i. only wanted was to go back to mommy? So did we all. He cried all night about his bone shattered foot. The naive army pfc enlisted, and might have thought war was cool 'Sore Foot wrapped up shivering all night in a camouflage, nylon green poncho liner sobbing like a crybaby without a mommy nipple. The jungle was wet, and in the sucking mud, the swampy damp war, poor Sore Foot must have contracted a case of the war sniffles. Momma, B.O. and war-odor stinks. Momma told me there would be days like this, My Mommy said? Oh, momma there are days like this?
One day Pooh was wondering where are all the people he hadn't seen or heard from in a long time? Eeyore,Kanja, Roo, Tigger, Owl, etc., and piglet in the forrest (!)? BTW, The World of Pooh,
A.A. Milne is a Diagnostic Statistical Manuel. DSM #One. All had such unique personalities. Pooh loved them for different reasons.

Happy Jack ref: McCain. Read his last page of back letters. Yestdery's letters, ref: McCain.
Happy Jack has a quality expression: Discerning, Penetrating, and Perceptive. Penetrating, in the manner my mind functions. Different taste? Discern.
Happy Morning to Happy Jack. Good to see you. Some are happy to spend time with good Pooh.
For it doesn't seem to matter, and if I don't get any madder, who knows what? Happy Day to Roo.
Roo plays in San Di Pit. War is no Piknick.
bogi666 traps insane McCain Heffalumas.
Where The Woozle Was Bombing innocent,

EEYore GloomMy Boggy Sad Helpo. OoOWL! WoW.
I liked that one. (sort understood it) :-)
I am off on a "forced march" to a damn tech conference today and must be cut off from the net a while. Odd that, we will talk hardware and software for hours, but will not use any.
If not, I would ask if you ever knew a fellow who self-inflicted a wound in Nam. I knew one, but he was not caught at it, but was suspected.
Our nations history is one long, long saga of self-inflicted woes and troubles. Unfortunately, the myth-makers hide almost all of it and folks end up believing the opposite of the many lessons that should have been learned.
Pooh loved honey. In the Morning, Pooh was doing some stout warmup exercises. aha!
Humming to Self, walking gaily, wanting to avoid what's Ugly, wondering what others do.
Aha!
~ Rum -tum-tiddle-um-tum. Tiddle-iddle,tiddle-iddle, aha.
Tiddle-iddle,tiddle-tiddle-iddle,~ Rum-tum-tum-tiddle-um.
The scary thing is, if the mainstream media don't start to slam this for the hate mongering that it is, Obama could come under assault in a more nefarious manner still. And not from Palin or McCain. I shudder to think it.

Measles. a headache.
What a dose of mush.
All the Nazis are long gone. Obama got a wonderful reception in Germany.
The ugliness of the McCain/Palin hate train has thoroughly American roots - you shouldn't drag the Germans into this.
They should just get it over with and move her rallies into Munich beer halls.
Or as the much-missed Molly Ivins said of a Pat Buchanan speech: "it was better in the original German"

A four and one-half year old told me a moment ago,
Lulu (a large black pet poodle), has bad mouth breath.
The gums are bleeding and the gums are badly rotting. Yikes.
I'm ordered to pick-up a tooth brush, and a tube of toothpaste?
Fresh Mint tooth paste? Ginger Ale Gargle. Juicy Fruit chew gum?
I'll have to pick up a Happy Meal at YKW? `Hurry Papa. I love you.

I say,`I love you too.
When I saw the yowling mob of rabid Rs whipped to a frenzy by the crescendo of McCain's acceptance speech in St. Paul, with a concluding quote like this:
Stand up! stand up! stand up and fight! Nothing is inevitable here. We're Americans, and we never give up! We never quit! We never hide from history. We make history!!!!
delivered with a truly bloodthirsty passion to a crowd eager for blood -- not having seen enough of it spilled from cracked heads outside the convention hall ("1968" was not quite re-created...) -- it was clear the McCain campaign was likely to, intending to descend into little more than attack and burn Warrior Mode.
The candidate and his running mate are now whipping their fans into greater and greater frenzies with stronger and stronger appeals to bigotry and contempt, and with barely concealed -- or not concealed at all -- urgings toward racism and violence.
Oh fine.
As others have pointed out, this isn't much different from the calls to violence and frenzies against their enemies that so characterized Fascist and Nazi parties in Europe before they seized or claimed or were elected to power.
Who know just how rabid the R-frenzy is going to become. They are working themselves up (they say) for the coming debate between McCain and Obama, at which they expect Obama to be Destroyed by the Wrathful Righteousness of Brave St. John. Be that as it may, those who are pointing out how dangerous by its very nature all this hysteria is do well to expose it all.
It is The Ugly.
The problem for us -- The American People -- is that so few know what to do about it.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
