Obama is anti-gun.

Obama is pro-illegal immigrant.

Obama is religiously/racially extreme.

Obama is anti-democratic, fomenting a cult of personality. He's been called the "messiah of generation narcissism."

Obama's wife is an anti-American loose cannon.

Obama has no experience and his platform is all image, no substance.

The web is SO over Obama.

Kim logic:

When Americans criticize America they are anti-American.

When Russians criticize Russia they are "real patriots" and "democrats".

Well, I see that Barack Obama has progressed from a Carter to a Putin to a Hitler in the minds of Republicans.

What's the next step, Barack Obama's the Antichrist? Barack Obama's Count Dracula?

Am amused seeing you guys' growing desparation.

George W Boosh said that Putin was a man that America could do business with and trust. But said, "I looked into his eyes and saw his soul."

John McCain said, "I will only see three thinng when I look into Putin's soul, a K, and G and a B!"

Hillary Clinton said there is nothing to see in Putin's soul because he doesn't have one.

Clearly Hillary and John McCain are no friends of the Russian people!

The most intelligent candidate by far is Barack Obama! He's coming on so strong now too! Isn't it great? I think Obama will win it for sure!

Barack is the only one of the above to keep his mouth SHUT when each candidate is trying to outdo the other with hype about how they are gonna crack the whip with Russia.

Don't believe Misha? Then ask OBAMA GIRL:

obama says he is pro-illegal but his congressional website says otherwise. he has consistantly voted the way most blacks do. anti-illegal and pro border enforcement.

Misha says:

Barack Obama is not pro-illegal immigrant. He's into border secur-ity and that's one issue he can even nail old man McCain on during the general election! McCain is soft on illegals.

C'mon 80 is too old to be president. McCain also has a rage problem. When McCain visited a local middle school, a 12 year old boy got a chance to ask McCain a question during the Q & A period. He asked McCain, "What do you say to the people who say you are too old to be president?" McCain called him "a little jerk" and told him to sit down. You should have seen the look on McCain's face.

As a matter of face, here:

Also check out the Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain website:
http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/images/mccain_bomb.jpg

It’s not like these are isolated incidents, but McCain has a long history of loosing his cool under the slightest pressure. He’s definitely got some unresolved anger management issues there. Republican Pete Dominiche said that he would be terrified to have John McCain’s finger anywhere near a trigger of any sort.

If you think about it it’s SCAREY!

I'm not a republican.

Also, my point is true. Hitler didnt really run on a platform of same old same old and meaningful dialog.

He worked the crowd emotionally not with reasoned oratory. they were frenzied.

now was i referring to obama, or the 'other guy'?


how bout this?

But his gift of empathy, of sensing and reacting to the thoughts and emotions of those around him.

who is that about?

well then read this line when you think about such candidates.

the phenomenon on display here is sociopathic mirroring, not empathy. Empathy would require Hitler to actually feel another person’s emotions. Sociopathic mirroring is an imitation of empathy.

Misha says:

Art, why you always gotta speak in riddles? If you got something to say then just come on out and say it. What are you saying? that a BLACK MAN can't be president JUST BECAUSE HE IS BLACK? Well come on out and say it then. Don't be coy.

Artfldgr says:

Self-deprecation and empathy are powerful political tools.

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1546302,00.html

Obama's empathy is reminiscent of Bill Clinton, although the Senator's compassion tends to be less damp than Clinton's: it's more about understanding your argument than feeling your pain. Both those qualities have been integral to Obama's charm from the start.

and from real clear politics

Despite being even more liberal on policy matters than rival Hillary Clinton, Mr. Obama provokes remarkably little dread among Republicans. For conservatives tempted by Mr. Obama, his charm and empathy soothe conservative anxieties, especially when compared with the frightful Hillary Clinton.


in this way the very left radical hitler also commanded that same kind of ability to seem empathetic and not radical.

unlike most despots, he didnt get to power in a revolution. there was shenanigans, but if he wasnt known, didnt have a large following, it wouldnt have turned out the way it did.

hitler used a great power of sociopathic empathy, and worked the crowds and people. everyone thought he would represent them, and he was way on the left, though still to the right of stalin.

so my position on things is that ALL socialists are wiling to do things that the entirety of their constituency will not like and will do so for their own good.

so its not a question of whether they will do that... its a question in every case, of how far they will go in doing that. and are they charismatic to change the rules and not abuse it till enough are changed that it doesnt matter.

Misha says:

Yeah, HEAVEN FORBID that we would have a president that would actually "listen to our arguments" as opposed to one who has already made up his mind! Jesus W Christ!

Aris Katsaris says:

Art, am quite aware of how Hitler used the fear of foreigners and minorities to work the crowds into genocide and war.

I somehow fail to believe that Barack Obama, born of a foreigner father, and member of a minority, will do the same.

The difference between the rhetorics of Hitler and Obama, is the difference between the rhetorics of fear and of hope. They're the difference of night and day.

The "commonality" you found between him and Hitler, is even more amusingly ludicrous than the "commonalities" Kim found between Obama and Putin. You people discover opposites and just label them commonalities as if that will make them so.

Truly, go with a Count Dracula comparison next time. It'll stick better. Count Dracula also had loyal followers that were lead by his charisma, and he was also of non-Anglo foreign parentage. Commonalities, OMG!

John Popovich says:

No one but no one has yet asked this question. Obama is already an elected official in the senate. What is his record or accomplishments?.Of all those excited (almost delirious) about him can anyone answer this question before we hand him our most cherished job?. And this is not about democrats or republicans. This is about facts. Please inform me because I am open to vote for him but only if he has proven himself in his first and only elected position.

Aris Katsaris says:

John, his Illinois legislative accomplishments mandating the videotaping of homicide interrogations, and monitoring possible racial profiling are the most important ones for me.

The magazine Russia Profile reports that Russians overwhelmingly favor US Presidential Candidate Barack Obama over all the other candidates.

The full story can be found at this link
http://www.russiaprofile.org/page.php?pageid=CDI+Russia+Profile+List&articleid=a1203612150

AUTHOR RESPONSE: Thanks for the info, that's a pretty darn good reason for Americans to reject him, now isn't it? After all, Americans like Boris Yeltsin and Garry Kasparov. Does that mean Russians should vote for them? Do you think AT ALL before you post? Please do not attempt to publish outside content here. This is not your blog. If you want to create one, do so.

Now even MSN.com is saying what I've been saying for a while, in their new article from Newsweek entitled "Hillary Should Get Out Now!"

Please recall that the axis between MNS, NBC, MSNBC, Newsweek and all the rest of them is one of the three or four only major news outlets in the otherwise "free, fair and balanced" US "media market," (as they call it). Soon even the formerly "independent" Yahoo network will also be absorbed by this MSNBC General Electric Bill Gates consortium (so "resistance is futile!")

But now even these icons of the US corporate culture are saying what Meesha has been saying for months! Hillary needs to drop out or get bounced out!

Here's the link to the story:
http://www.newsweek.com/id/114725/

No, you can't take on Mother Russia and say Russian President Vladimir Putin "has no soul" and expect no consequences, now AND in the afterlife!

John Hussey says:

We have not seen many speakers with the tallent shown by Sen. Obama. He is SO good he is almost super human. BHO can twist words and say nothing in many beautiful ways. BHO has the unique ability posessed by only the best "snake oil salesmen". He can make almost everyone thinking he knows what he is talking about when he always hides behind beautiful words beautifully spoken.

When asked a direct question he always dodges or twists the answer. He never states "facts" and only spouts some very nice ideas.

The MSM press treats BHO as a princess and more or less "falls all over" him. And yet, because of BHO, who fears giving direct and exact answers to any tough questions, he is tactful or slick enough to kept the press at arms length. There is no sign of the easy interaction and exchange of questions and answers, as there is almost daily within the McCain campaign. To me this raises a lot of RED FLAGS.

If Sen. Barak H. Obama, Dem. of IL. can be forced to give answers, especiality related to foreign policy and tax policy he always falls on his face. BHO knows that this is his biggest weakness and structures his campaign and life to avoid showing his real self.

His political hopes and dreams will survive if he can hide from the press. He will fail if he is forced to give real answers to real questions.
