Message from a friend: you’re scaring us
Message from a friend: you’re scaring us:
So as a plea to all concerned, but especially to those who are dismayed by the thought of an Obama presidency: by all means spend the next three weeks arguing against Obama, attacking his record, questioning his claims to represent “change” and “hope”, and all the rest of it. And then spend the next four years arguing you were right about him.
But at the same time, ask yourself whether the manner and tone in which you are doing so could be contributing to a rhetorical climate in which some nutjob with a hunting rifle decides that he is the one to whom it falls to save America by putting Joe Biden in the White House.
What Is This Place?
Opus is a website masquerading as a blog masquerading as a webzine. It’s where I (Jason Morehead) write about music, movies, art, web design, religion and whatever else interests me at the time (Read More).

Commenting is not available in this weblog entry.G-r-o-a-n. I’m groaning both at the fiery rhetoric of some conservatives (“Be afraid, be very afraid!” This is the most important election in the entire history of the US!”) as well as the last sentence in this post. Both are equally dramatic and absurd in my opinion.
from what i’ve seen in the media lately, sounds like mccain too endorses this message.
Perhaps his friend could also send out a message to the people responsible for this:http://cbs2.com/local/Sarah.Palin.mannequin.2.849299.html
