Tin Hat Liberalism

Drudge linked to an article in the New York Observer about some feminist named Erica Jong. I was interested due to the title:
"Erica Jong Tells Italians Obama Loss 'Will Spark the Second American Civil War. Blood Will Run in the Streets'"

I, too, believe there will be violence by the deranged left if The One is not elected. I have already pointed out examples of Liberal Rage Syndrome, and there are more. But what does it tell you about the left that they are willing to turn to violence if they can't get their way at the voting booth?

Regardless, I am here to tell you that there won't be any "second Civil War". First, it would make a complete mockery of all those "war is not the answer" bumper stickers. But more importantly, there is the question of armament. What are the libs going to attack with? Hot lattes? Are they going to figure out how to convert a Prius to a tank? Can you imagine your average vegetarian teachers union member going up against a shotgun and buck knife equipped conservative from Texas or Tennessee? That "war" would be over before it began.

What I love most about the article are the quotes from Ms. Jong:

"The record shows that voting machines in America are rigged."
What record? And has she heard of ACORN? Or is she talking about Daley's Chicago? Who knows!

"My friends Ken Follett and Susan Cheever are extremely worried. Naomi Wolf calls me every day. Yesterday, Jane Fonda sent me an email to tell me that she cried all night and can't cure her ailing back for all the stress that has reduces her to a bundle of nerves."
I hate to hear Follett is a lib, but hearing that Jane Fonda is a bundle of nerves brings me a bit of twisted pleasure.

"My back is also suffering from spasms, so much so that I had to see an acupuncturist and get prescriptions for Valium."
So liberals are so weak minded that the mere possibility that The One-Whose-Middle-Name-Must-Not-Be-Mentioned might not win the election is causing back problems? Get a grip!

"After having stolen the last two elections, the Republican Mafia…"
Ahh, yes, the tin-foil hat is firmly in place now.


"If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me. And it's not a coincidence that President Bush recalled soldiers from Iraq for Dick Cheney to lead against American citizens in the streets."
Can you believe this? Libs were demanding that troops come home from Iraq. Because we've won, some troops have been brought home,. But wait, the real reason was to prepare for an inevitable civil war! That boggles the mind. And this woman is considered an intellectual in the liberal community? Yikes.

"Bush has transformed America into a police state, from torture to the imprisonment of reporters, to the Patriot Act."
I absolutely love this. Remind me again, which campaign just kicked reporters off the campaign plane since they work for newspapers that had the temerity to endorse McCain? And is she referring to the Patriot Act that passed the Senate 99-1? That evil Bush! He must have rigged the Senate voting machine!

Very amusing stuff. I have to thank Ms. Jong for making my Friday.
