Obama to Supporters: 'Argue with Your Neighbors, Get in Their Face'
Wednesday, September 17, 2008 | Kristinn

Posted on 09/17/2008 8:34:49 PM PDT by kristinn

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.

I already had an Obama supporter email me saying I’m dumb for supporting McCain. Boy they are amazingly persuasive, aren’t they?

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

typical liberal strong-arm tactics. Notice he doesn't say calmly debate the issues or using any intelligent reasoning...

Exactly! Just like Clinton refused to take out Osama whan he was presented so many chances. Another thing I predict, if he does lose the election, he will make a mockery of our peaceful transition system. He will drag it out, incite riots and turn our election process into a shambles and our politically correct leaders will do everything possible to accomodate him and “be fair”. There will be many lawsuits and liberal judges legislating from the bench. Its going to be a nightmare.

The last time Confederates aka DEMOCRATS took up arms against the federal government 600K people died.

I so want an Obama supporter to try telling me that. I'd tell them his record on guns is exactly the opposite and that he is lying when he says he believes in the second amendment, and they are either lying too or they are stupid for believing his lie. Then on taxes I would tell them he is lying about that too because when he lets the W tax cuts expire that is a tax increase. And just like slick willie clinton promised to cut taxes for the middle class, the first thing he did upon getting elected was force through the largest tax increase on middle class families in the history of the US. He is lying, and his followers are either idiots for believing his lies or liars for repeating them.

Here is a link to Obama’s playbook for community agitating:

I pass a group of protesters on the weekend and their numbers are growing...
What is really weird is that the protest intersection sits in suburbia and they seem to get virtually no feedback from the drivers.

Grab a couple of friends, some flags and make a few signs and stand on the other corner to counter them!

I can almost guarantee YOU will receive positive feedback from the drivers when they see you!

Thanks. He links to an AP article, but he pretty much used the headline I wrote last night for this. Good to see Free Republic’s influence in action.

Is that a message to ZerObama of “Kiss my Puck” or a statement “Puck ZerObakma”?
Nice Graphic! Thanks.

Not just mau mau. He gives them a card to use as their very own teleprompter whenever he talks at them. They all say “Ya Wohl Mein Commandant!”

The way Obama adopts this “black” voice always creeps me out. This is a half-white American, half-foreign kid who grew up partly in Indonesia and partly in a prosperous household in Hawaii - he has NO legitimate title to the “black” accent or way of speech. But he is cultivating the thug sound, the sloppy speech, even the “uhs” that the brain dead punks put into everything, and the stupid grunts that he seems to believe make him sound authentically black. No way he’d adopt the cultivated, precise speech of an intelligent man who happens to be black - Justice Clarence Thomas - because for some reason Obama has decided that power in the US lies with the underclass.

"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.

At what point does arguing and getting in a neighbor's face become HARASSMENT and INTIMIDATION? This could be criminal intimidation of voters in violation of FEC law.

New tagline.

“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 they call this guy a uniter????

Barak Obama is BAD for America. He’s a community disorganizer.
