Erica Jong Tells Italians Obama Loss 'Will Spark the Second American Civil War'

Blood Will Run in the Streets'--

It seems that the final days of the presidential campaign have made Erica Jong and her friends more than a little anxious.

A few days ago, Jong, the author and self-described feminist, gave an interview to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, the choicest bits of which were brought to my attention by the reliably sharp-eyed Christian Rocca, the U.S. correspondent of Il Foglio, who published excerpts on his Camillo blog. Basically, Jong says she her fear that Obama might lose the election has developed into an "obsession. A paralyzing terror. An anxious fever that keeps you awake at night." She also says that her friends Jane Fonda and Naomi Wolf are extremely worried that Obama will be sabotaged by Republican dirty tricks, and that if an Obama loss indeed comes to pass, the result will be a second American Civil War.

Here's a translation of Jong's more spirited quotes to the Milan-based Corriere, as selected by Rocca.

"The record shows that voting machines in America are rigged."

Uh, no. An Obama WIN will spark the next Civil War.

Exactly, And the only way for Obama to win is voter fraud. I refuse to believe that there are a sufficient number of really stupid people alive to give Obambi a victory.

If one watches MSM and reads newspapers in this country they will never know what is truly going on re the Zero and his cohorts.

Thus the move to recreate the "Fairness Doctrine" and write it in STONE this time..............

Molotov Cocktails?

No, those have fossil fuels in them. It would upset their sensibilities.

“if an Obama loss indeed comes to pass, the result will be a second American Civil War. “

If we are truly that unstable as a nation, and close to a civil war; then I say lets get it started.
Lets get it started and get it over with. We can sweep away all the mindless affirmative action nonsense and have a nation again where people really are judged by the content of their character once more

They can empty every prison in the U.S and make it the Army of OBAMA. They know how to carry and use without any permits.

I keep saying that, then I remember four times as many people vote on your average American Idol final than vote.

The Democrats in the military will mutiny.

Both of them will be thrown into the brig.

"As far as CW2 goes, bring it on you (mostly) unarmed, untrained, leftist bozos.

CW2 won by the Right-Wing without firing a shot. They shoot themselves or each other.

She’s an ankle-biter alright, I’ll bet she has to sneak up on a glass of white wine.
Silly liberals & their unfounded fears ... oh, that reminds me: my new Crimson Trace laser grips may arrive today.
I’ll be able to shoot the nuts off a gnat!

It’s impolite to talk with your mouth full, Erica.

Either way, like the first CW secession would not be allowed; that issue was settled in 1865.

I don't think those on the right of this conflict would want secession. Most that I talk to speak of ridding our country of those who would tear it down from within.

FULL TIN FOIL BODYSUIT ALERT!!

"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."

Stalin knew that religious people would never rise up in violent revolution. Therefore, he tolerated religion.

I can just see a line of Volvos and BMWs forming a line of battle opposite a line of Chevy Pickups bristling with guns, The Volvo drivers grip their American Express Cards tightly in their soft white hands.... “Charge they scream in unison, it’s getting tough, let’s go shopping!”
