"In the battle of wits, our enemy is only half-armed"

By GottaLaff

I posted about the article in question. Here's an L.A. Times letter responding to original piece. I especially love the last line:

Politics as religion

Re “Armageddon politics,” Opinion, Oct. 2

Gabler could use some Prozac. I agreed with everything he wrote except his abysmal conclusion.

Enlightenment has always defeated the forces of ignorance and darkness, and this time is no exception. Despair is our enemy, and it is exactly what the opposition would like us to succumb to. We won't.

So buck up, Neal. In the battle of wits, our enemy is only half-armed.

Target: Obama

By GottaLaff

As much as this subject sends chills down my spine, it's good to know the Obamas are doing everything they can to stay safe and secure:

A military-style operation to keep Barack Obama alive was under way yesterday within hours of his victory. Even as the US President-elect celebrated with more than 160,000 supporters in Grant Park, Chicago, he did so from behind bullet-proof glass 12ft high and 3ins thick. Mr Obama, wife Michelle, running mate Joe Biden and his wife Jill were under instructions not to stray from the line-of-fire protection zone. This zone had been identified by FBI agents pointing lasers at the stage from every building surrounding the park. Mr Obama and his family spent the Presidential campaign with more full-time Secret Service agents – a team of 10 – than any other candidate in the history of the race. That will now be increased, with a squad of six agents assigned to his wife Michelle, and another six to watch over their daughters Malia, 10 and Sasha, seven.

More:

Mr Obama’s limousine, supplied by the Secret Service, is bulletproof and reinforced to withstand bomb attack.

A team of specialist investigators from the FBI has also been assigned to work alongside the Secret Service to monitor America’s 487 known white supremacist groups.

Senior advisers have already discussed with Mr Obama the possibility of him wearing a lightweight bullet-proof vest during public appearances – a proposal he has so far resisted, but which Secret Service chiefs are expected to insist upon.

According to this article, the threats aren't limited to racists. They include "pro-lifers who fear Mr Obama will enshrine Americans’ abortion rights; religious fundamentalists; terrorists both foreign and domestic."

By the way, the threats increased when Wardrobe Barbie stirred up the hostilities with her vile speeches. Good riddance to the worst candidate in memory.
