The Advantages of Sainthood [Victor Davis Hanson]
Almost imperceptibly to the McCain campaign, I think Obama has already established quite new messianic rules of engagement that will be difficult to overturn: he talks about supposedly illiberal Pennsylvanians as a racial group or quips typical white person, associates with the racist Wright, and counts on a solid base that votes 90 percent along racial lines, and you are a racist for being disturbed by that Manichaeism. He talks of hope/change, new politics, unity, and bipartisanship and you are cynical and hateful for not buying it and instead worrying that he has a serial propensity for distortion (100 years) and invective (lost his bearings). The immediate advantage is that the nonbeliever is always ridiculed for his devilish skepticism; the eventual downside for Obama is that the loftier the prophet, the more transparent his all-too-human transgressions.
I would dance for joy if Obummer croaked tomorrow.

So would I, Candor. It’s very scary & hard to believe that so many sheple are falling for this false prophet. Can you imagine the evil characters that may soon be walking the halls of the White House? First order of biz - Constitutional Amendment to drop he “White” from White House.
Obama in ‘da House! (uggggghh, I just made myself sick)
(If you believe in that sort of thing.)
“Obamessiah really could be the Antichrist.”
Well, Bobarian...the doctrine taught at his church certainly could be called “anti-Christian.” This is all becoming a nightmare I’d like to wake up from. Even the thought of a “President McCain” makes me sick.
Pick your Poison.
