Guilt Trip

Yesterday (Thursday August 28), the Messiah, The ONE, spoke at his second coming at the OBama Celebrity Fest in Denver. Everyone swooned in awe as his words of total vagueness and non-specificity rocked the audience. The Media pronounced him fit for EMperor (not if only those pesky Republicans would lie down and go away).

Today we are hearing the guilt trip. If you do not vote for the Messiah, you are racist. If THE ONE loses (gasp) it is because America has not shed its racist heritage. And then, the clincher. If he loses, there will be riots in the streets as the entire black nation will rise up. And do you want that to happen? Do you want to be the one to recreate 68 in Urban America. No. Then vote for THE ONE.

It reminds me of Goldwater and johnson. Johnson put out the ad of a little girl in front of a mushroom to denote the evilous Goldwater and his militaristic streak. In essence, Johnson said, "Vote for Goldwater and we will end up over our heads in Vietname." As a friend of mine at the time said, "I did, and we did."

So now we have our warning. If you do not vote for THE ONE, evil things will happen (of course they will happen anyway but it is always nice to put the blame on your opponent).

It is also a good tactic used by magicians: keep the audience focused on one item and you will not see the other. In other words, Keep us focused on the historical first, the inevitability, the even worse calamity if not elected and we will not be concerned that we know nothing about this character let alone what he stands for and what he will do.

That alone should make it easy in November. McCain the sure thing.
