More like buyers remorse surfacing.
Paglia states: "I deeply admire Obama, but as a voter I don't like feeling gamed or played." In time she will get used to it.

Ok, your television has now become an official Obama worship station. That’s all that comes out of it. I advise everyone that doesn’t want to worship the beast to TURN IT OFF!

It’s never ceased to amaze me, being what and who she is, that Camille Paglia can be one of the few beacons of sanity in the Democrat party, and of the left in general.

I am deeply concerned that we have an election the was stolen in favor of the Marxist left.

The $300,000,000.00 from the mid-east, ACORN.

And we hear nothing from republicans OR conservatives concerning this.

Only now in passing is the birth certificate mentioned in the leftist press.

IMHO, RINO’s are leftist moles. We know the list of those who have ruined the conservative movement.

Where I the outrage over this stolen election?

The United States of America had it’s last free election in 2004.

We will never in my lifetime have another free election.

When Zero implodes, we get to blame the media.

I hope every screaming bit of butt kissing blather, god-names, comparisons to Messiah, and criticisms of the opposition for legitimate concerns are cached, filed, saved, printed, and locked in a secure location because when the inevitable occurs I want to say:

We told you so!

Paglia's article is one thing, like it or not.

What interests me most are comments from loyal Salon readers remarking on Paglia and Palin.

These are people who are in their own minds, Gods.

Their capacity for self delusion and projection without cognitive dissonance is a key psychological dynamic of Totalitarianism. They cannot be swayed. They cannot be reasoned with. Their intellectual abilities seem singularly focused on exalting themselves while demeaning and diminishing everyone disinclined to think exactly as they do.

Paglia's mistake in her Salon pieces is in thinking that the “Progressive” left is anything more than an intractable monolith of group think, given life by the visious mangods whose minds resonate on one frequency only.

From the article:

“I like Sarah Palin, and I’ve heartily enjoyed her arrival on the national stage. As a career classroom teacher, I can see how smart she is — and quite frankly, I think the people who don’t see it are the stupid ones, wrapped in the fuzzy mummy-gauze of their own worn-out partisan dogma. So she doesn’t speak the King’s English — big whoop! There is a powerful clarity of consciousness in her eyes.”

Bravo!

blathering, fanatical overkill

Equal treatment is blathering, fanatical overkill? I appreciate Ms Paglia's thoughts but..

I've had to show my birth certificate several times over the years (and years).

Pro or con vis-a-vis Obama's birth certificate -- why do the little people have to do it and the ruling elite do not? 'Tain't fair, McGee.

Where's the equal treatment?

[S]imple questions about the certificate were never resolved to my satisfaction. I think she and others are starting to wonder the same thing.

I had never heard of Ayers and couldn't have cared less. I was irritated by Hillary Clinton's aggressive flagging of Ayers in a debate, and I accepted Obama's curt dismissal of the issue.

Given that she's a (rather older) contemporary of Ayers/Dohrn etc., this suggests intentional ignorance and a desire for negative information about Obama to be "dismissed."

A shocking level of irrational emotionalism and at times infantile rage was exposed at the heart of current Democratic ideology -- contradicting Democratic core principles of compassion, tolerance and independent thought.

That's because the party's true core principles are power and death, Camille, as all Communists' are. You're awfully bright to have fallen for the facade.

Good writing, reminds me of Florence King.

Liberal Democrats are going to wake up from their sadomasochistic, anti-Palin orgy with a very big hangover. The evil genie released during this sorry episode will not so easily go back into its bottle. A shocking level of irrational emotionalism and at times infantile rage was exposed at the heart of current Democratic ideology -- contradicting Democratic core principles of compassion, tolerance and independent thought.

Nailed it!

Camille tells the Ozombies to take a reality check!

Sounds like she is sensing something bad, very bad:

"I deeply admire Obama, but as a voter I don't like feeling gamed or played."

Yeah, sure, Camille. One could replace "Palin" with Nixon, Reagan or Bush II and it was no different back in those instances.
