Obama to Supporters: 'Argue with Your Neighbors, Get in Their Face'

Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois today exhorted his supporters to get extremely aggressive in their communities to persuade their neighbors to vote for Obama in November.

Speaking to a crowd in Elko, Nevada, Obama was quoted by the AP as urging the people to be his 'ambassadors':

"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face.

"And if they tell you that, 'Well, we're not sure where he stands on guns.' I want you to say, 'He believes in the Second Amendment.' If they tell you, 'Well, he's going to raise your taxes,' you say, 'No, he's not, he's going lower them.' You are my ambassadors. You guys are the ones who can make the case."

Obama has campaigned as a uniter. One can't help but wonder how neighbors will react to people getting up in their faces arguing to them to vote for Obama and how many friendships will be ruined by Obama this fall.

Ohhh..thats the way to make friends and persuade folks.

[conservative cat]

I have already seen this in the Obama supporters I know. They will lie to your face; it’s almost like they follow the Koran.

[goldstategop]

He wants to win so bad he's willing to bully people into submission to do it!

[FlingWingFlyer]

If an Obamanoid gets “in my face” I’ll show them what the Second Amendment means.

[Ilya Mourometz]

If one of Zero’s Zombies gets in my face, I will personally introduce them to the 2d Amendment.

[Abbeville Conservative]

If any Obama people try to get in my face I will give them the top five reasons I’m voting for McCain.

“And if they tell you that, ‘Well, we’re not sure where he stands on guns.’ I want you to say, ‘He believes in the Second Amendment.’ If they tell you, ‘Well, he’s going to raise your taxes,’ you say, ‘No, he’s not, he’s going lower them.’ You are my ambassadors. You guys are the ones who can make the case.”

More like his lying minions!

[Ilya Mourometz]

hehe. I see we’re on the same wavelength here.

[mlocher]

What happened to unifying the country? Kumbaya!

[stayathomemom]

Nice guy.

[henkster]

SOOOOOOOO stupid! What’s he think is going to happen in the privacy of the voting booth?

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Headline:

Noted street agitator teaches mau-mauing to followers.

[AmericanMade1776]

Obama is living a pipe dream, if he thinks his supporters are going to get in our face.

[savedbygrace]

He’s inciting violence, even riots. That used to be a crime.

[a1gpac]

I welcome the opportunity to “defend” myself when one of his community organizers gets in my face.

[aft_lizard]

Agitprop-agitation + propoganda. He is going straight to the communist handbook.

[PhiKapMom]

Obama is a Chicago thug!

[Inyo-Mono]

"And if they tell you that, 'Well, we're not sure where he stands on guns.' I want you to say, 'He believes in the Second Amendment.'

"He believes in the Second Amendment," as an article of faith, or as a reality of the Bill of Rights? This ain't gonna fly in Elko.

[Names Ash Housewares]

Come

get

some.

Man, they try that crap with me and they WILL get a hellstorm.

[ottbmare]

Nice approach. I hope this is the route the Obama supporters take. It will turn off so many independents.

[donaldo]

Right on. I’ll second that. If Obama or any of his sycophantic suck-ups get in my face, they’ll be bitch-slapped.

[VinceASA]

Here’s what I do: Sit there and listen to them and politely ask question after question - appearing to be interested but unconvinced. If you can engage one of these nuts for a half hour or an hour, that’s time that they are NOT spending with softies that might actually believe the stuff they spew.

I do the same thing when one of them calls my house. It’s the most helpful thing you can do.

[ApplegateRanch]

One can't help but wonder how neighbors will react to people getting up in their faces arguing to them to vote for Obama

Invoke the Second Amendment?

[tajgirvan]

The man is puttin’ on his community organizer hat and it will not work outside Chicago!

[hope]

He wants a riot?

[Calpernia]

Kinda like a ‘religion of submission’, huh?

[Antoninus]

Boy, this smacks of true desperation. His internal polling must be truly dreadful.

[mkjessup]

I can’t wait for when the first one of 0bama’s ‘ambassadors’ get’s THEIR face ‘re-organized’ in my community.

[Calpernia]

>>>What happened to unifying the country?

Like The Unity Party 2008?

hmmm, Obama, you running on the Unity08 ticket or the DNC ticket?

[kesg]

I have noticed that in the last week, the Democrats have gotten much more strident with their talking points. I have noticed this not only on televisoin and on the Internet, but also with real live Democrats who are fierce Obama partisans. I have absolutely had it with these people. They are utterly incapable of having a human discussion. And they have become insufferable bores.

In a closely related vein, I loved the way Karl Rove let Alan Combs have it tonight. I guess I’m not the only one who has reached my limit.

[Yanni.Znaio]

The only thing that really impresses me about the Obama campaign is their amazing ability to find new and innovative ways to piss people off.

[stayathomemom]

Obama’s Ministry of Truth

[Nik Naym]

If any of his people want to have a rational and civil discussion with me, I will be glad to oblige.

HOWEVER:

If any of his idiotic sycophants “get in my face” I will give them one and only one warning to get right back out of my face. After that somebody gets his ass kicked.

[yongin]

This is taste of what happens should Hussein become President. FR and other alternative media will exist only with his approval.

[Rodm]

Well Neighbor, I'm not voting for your baby killing, commie pinko, fiasco freddie fannie rip off artist.

This is the friendly version!

[CodeToad]

That loser really doesn’t want people asking questions about him. He is just about as stupid a person as I can imagine.

[gore_sux_2000]

Hell, most of the people I work with are like this....I just ignore it, but there’s only so much you can take....I’m hoping to gloat and laugh in all their faces on Nov.5th!!!!! One of them dared to get in my face and I had him stuttering.....LOL!

[Godwin1]

“Get in their faces.” He's accustomed to that. Remember the waving, offensive, in-your face Jeremiah Wright? Obama himself has written that the loud-mouthed, vulgar, clownish, rude Rev Wright is his “mentor.”

[joma89]

I dare a hussein supporter to get into my face.

JoMa

[feedback doctor]

He’s now telling people to imitate PMSNBC?

[CodeToad]

Obama does not believe in the Constitution as he does not believe in the 2nd. Obama believes in banning guns. Period. He said so and we have his words on that.

[mware]

Obama to Supporters: 'Argue with Your Neighbors, Get in Their Face'

I will not be bullied by you or any of your thugs.

[RoseofTexas]

God forbid if these words were said by McCain. The mediaWHORES would have had it on their news cycle 24/7!! THE muslim ANTI-CHRIST is getting away literally with murder!!

[JimSEA]

LOL Having lived for five years in Elko in the 80’s, I can see some folks getting shot over any “in your face” of any kind. Elko isn't a limp wristed. blue state kind of town.

[Onelifetogive]

I want you to argue with them and get in their face.

Obamatards...PLEASE DO THIS!!!

[RoseofTexas]

Is there a video clip of him saying this?

[afortiori]

Major Pain is more like it.

[Fatuncle]

Why, that's a good idea. It also shows far more patience than I have with these people. I am afraid I would not be able to control my gag reflex.

Hm.

Well, come to think of it, if they are taking time out to change their clothes after I puke in their lap, that would tend to eat up some of their time as well, wouldn't it? And give me a good deal of personal satisfaction as well.
