Obama to Supporters: 'Argue with Your Neighbors, Get in Their Face'
Wednesday, September 17, 2008 | 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 have already seen this in the Obama supporters I know. They will lie to your face; it’s almost like they follow the Koran.

He wants to win so bad he's willing to bully people into submission to do it!

If an Obamanoid gets “in my face” I’ll show them what the Second Amendment means.

Obama is living a pipe dream, if he thinks his supporters are going to get in our face.

He’s inciting violence, even riots. That used to be a crime.

I welcome the opportunity to “defend” myself when one of his community organizers gets in my 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.'

"He believes in the Second Amendment," as an article of faith, or as a reality of the Bill of Rights? This ain't gonna fly in Elko.
