“The allure of a charismatic demagogue”

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 26, 2008 10:11 AM


Blinded by the glow…

Must-read weekend meditation: Mark Levin ponders “the Obama temptation” and asks, “Is the allure of a charismatic demagogue so strong that the usually sober American people are willing to risk an Obama presidency?”

One of the biggest puzzles to me is why so many have fallen for the notion that the bland cipher Obama is “charismatic.”

But I guess if you have enough in-the-tank media propagandists photoshopping halos around your head, people start to believe it.

    Watershed said, “If McCain wins, yes, I will say that his campaign of divisivness and fear worked on the voting public…”

    How disingenuous you are. We both know that was not the “crap” to which I was referring in my earlier question.

    Liberals … always looking for the “heads I win, tails you lose” option.

    i just want the bumpersticker business on “DON’T BLAME ME, I VOTED FOR MCCAIN” as the bumpersticker of don’t blame me i voted for ford sold millions, and by 1980, even die hard uaw workers were sporting that slogan. watershed, not every person who disagrees with liberalism is a racist? how about bill clinton? isn’t it amazing how every conservative is 1 stupid, 2 racist, 3 bigotted, 4 homophobic, 5 warmongering, 6 under educated and dumb. so why is it all you ubersmart people usually choose to go into government work and tenured jobs in quasi government? don’t trust your ability to do anything other than bitch and beg money from the stupid producers of the economy? btw. john kerry and george w. bush took the same military iq test and bush was higher. fact. just as i’m sure that if obama would let out any of his records, we would find his iq in the range of bright but not messianic.
