My second syndicated column of the week looks at Barack Obama’s Call to Strong Arms. Looks like the “in-your-face” brigade has already struck — and vandalized GOP offices in Indiana and Florida. Expect more. We’ve been here before.

Obama releases his “in-your-face” hounds by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2008
Warning: If your neighbor’s got an “Obama ‘08″ bumper sticker or lawn sign, you might want to double-check your door locks at night. The One has commanded his Purveyors of Change to go forth and proselytize to the unbelievers. And they’re not going to be knocking gently like Avon Ladies.
Barack Obama, you see, is done fixing souls. It’s time to crack heads. Prodded by panicked Democrats to take off his white gloves, he issued a Call to Strong-Arms to his legions of angry followers on Wednesday. Hope is out. Hellfire is in. Now, the same analysts who tut-tutted Sarah Palin’s mild use of sarcasm at the GOP convention are heralding — in the words of the Obama water-carriers at the Associated Press — Obama’s “feistier, more sarcastic tone” and his push for Democrat activists “to sharpen their elbows, too.”
When Republicans get aggressive, it’s “dirty.” When Obama gets aggressive, it’s “feisty.” Exorteth the One: “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.”
Team Obama is so committed to this “face-to-face” shock troop campaign that it is now busing activists from state to state (“Drive for Change!”) to target undecided voters – and offering subsidies to volunteers. In advance of Obama’s rally in Nevada, California field director Mary Jane Stevenson organized a pilgrimage to boost the crowd numbers with housing incentives:
“Face-to-face contact with undecided voters is the single most effective way to grow this movement. No experience is required, and we’ll help you make the trip as easily as possible with either housing in Nevada or discounted group rates at an area hotel.”
Yep, a bunch of angry Obama cultists and left-wing ACORN drifters are coming to your neighborhoods to accuse you of racism, call you unpatriotic for not bowing down and forking over more taxes to keep the Mother Ship afloat, and check your tire pressure and thermostats while they’re at it. Feel the power of positive change.
The in-your-face directive comes as Team Obama Chicago-fies its tactics by:
*Stepping up sleazy ads. The latest one twisted the words of radio talk giant Rush Limbaugh in a laughable attempt to paint John McCain as an immigration hardliner and stir fear among Hispanic voters;
*Doubling down on the race card. Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius shamelessly baited supporters with this line: “Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American? (Republicans) are not going to go lightly into the darkness;”
*And suppressing dissent. Rebuffed by the Justice Department in their efforts to prosecute conservatives for running ads critical of Obama’s ties to Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, the campaign is using an army of supporters to mob radio and television stations daring to air investigations of the relationship. The foot soldiers receive their marching orders through “Obama Action Wires” and bombard critics with disruptive phone calls.
Meanwhile, the Left’s Sarah Palin hatred has been encouraged by the in-your-face comments of Michelle Obama, who derided the Alaska governor’s intellect (”What you learn about Barack from his choice is that he’s not afraid of smart people”) and looks (don’t cast a vote because “she’s cute”) on the campaign trail. And Team Obama’s goons on the Internet – led by Gawker Media and the Huffington Post – are reveling in the hacking of Palin’s private e-mail account, the publication of private, family photos of her children stolen from her account, and the abuse of daughter Bristol’s cell phone number stolen from the account. For countless friends of Obama, “in your face” is code for “anything goes.”
In words and actions that would have made his mentor Saul Alinsky proud, Barack Obama is rubbing raw the sores of discontent – and summoning his unhinged flock to do the same. All hail the community-agitator-in-chief. And remember: Lock your doors.
It’s a dang shame there aren’t hardly any Obama supporters around here, I’d love for some of them to come visit me.
(evil grin)
Awesome! That’s a Remington 870, correct?
(Sure gets the message across)
FWIW, that is not me, but that is probably what any BO goon would be facing if I am confronted.
I have a Winchester 1400 semi-automatic and a Marlin Super Goose 10 gage 3 1/2” magnum.
>I told my brother to put out a McCain sign and back off into the woods with his 12 gauge and night sights
>to pepper-shot any sign molesters. Then again, perhaps the rifle and then bury them in the woods...
>What? Too extreme?
No, just post a “Trespassers Will Be Shot” sign next to the McCain sign.
(Then you they can’t say they weren’t warned.)
Yes, but the sound of a bolt loading a 3 1/2” magnum would be very intimidating to any perp.
I HAD one of those Super Goose Marlins.
HAD.
You must be built like a tank or you have no central nervous system left.....
We need to pray now more than ever.
Extremely Terrifying and Scary!!!!! This is the OBAMA that KENYANS got to KNOW ALL TO WELL!!!
“Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.” I Corinthians 1:26-29
I still have it. I sent 45 rounds into the S Texas air in one trip. My shoulder looked like hamburger meat.
No doubt.
Anyone who tries that tactic at my house will find it becomes “face to barrel” rather quickly and with a certain degree of finality.
Check out how CNN says “police say they cannot substantiate her claim” (upper right hand corner)

Ain't that the truth, and they're gonna get one.
All this in-your-face nonsense will in the end create a backlash to bring in McCain to the White House.
