If you aren't on the right side of history ...

What ever will the true believers do to you to ensure One People, One Nation, One World, One Leader?

The supremely confident demeanour and exalted rhetoric of the Democratic nominee at a New Hampshire event betrayed that he is a man convinced he is poised to make history. ...

But much of Mr Obama's speech in Londonderry - punctuated by cries of "We all love you Obama", "I love you" and "We will work with you" - was devoted to the kind of quasi-religious sentiments and motivational-coach style exhortations, the kind of pride that set him up for a big fall in January.

"I want you to believe," said the candidate, clad in an open-necked shirt and barn jacket. "Not so much believe just in me but believe in yourselves. Believe in the future. Believe in the future we can build together. I'm confident together we can't fail."

There was a carnival atmosphere among the crowd of some 4,000, who almost drowned Mr Obama out as he reached his crescendo and said: "I promise you. We won't just win New Hampshire. We will win this election and, you and I together, we're going to change the country and change the world."

Mr Obama was described as "preternaturally confident" in a gushing endorsement by the Washington Post on Friday.

You know, Darleen, this kind of foolishness is exactly why you're going to lose. I don't understand the redbaiting of hardcore wingers like yourself, since it's coming about 30 years too late, but you're really around the bend. Obama is not a Marxist. He's a liberal - a tradition that is just as proud in America, and just as important to our political blend, as is the conservative tradition. I'm guessing you're on that radical fringe that also considers the presidency of FDR to have been a socialist nightmare...but I'm guessing that, like old John McCain, you'll cash your Social Security checks just the same when that day comes.

Obama has every right to be confident. He drew crowds of 100,000 and 75,000 yesterday in red state Missouri. He's going to win. And the only thing you vicious tin foil hat wearers on the fringe are doing is whipping up hatred among the unbalanced weirdos who listen to you.

Look at what your friends are doing in places like Wisconsin.

Police in Caledonia are investigating the assault of a campaign volunteer as she was canvassing for Senator Barack Obama Saturday afternoon.58 year-old Nancy Takehara of Chicago says she was going door-to-door when she came across a disgruntled homeowner.“The next thing I know he’s telling us we’re not his people, we’re probably with ACORN, and he started screaming and raving,” Takehara said. “He grabbed me by the back of the neck. I thought he was going to rip my hair out of my head. He was pounding on my head and screaming. The man terrified me."

From your link.

“He grabbed me by the back of the neck. I thought he was going to rip my hair out of my head. He was pounding on my head and screaming. The man terrified me.”
Takehara was asked if she needed medical assistance, but she was not seriously injured. Instead, she says she was shaken up by the homeowner’s reaction.

I had to laugh, she just cant handle opposing opinions and if the attack happened as she claims, she would have been injured.

Now this case is different
