Well, so much for the kinder, gentler Obamessiah we all kept hearing about. Now he is telling his supporters to belligerently impose their views on anyone not falling under The One’s spell.

In a Nevada campaign stop as he was on his way to the adulation that Hollyweird was to bestow upon him later that night, Obama told his supporters to “get in the face” of people who doubt his word from on high.

“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.”

Wow. That is pretty aggressive and mean, isn’t it? Obama just told his automatons to almost physically attack people who don’t agree with him. After all, that’s what “get in their face” means. It is a loud, petulant action, a forceful, aggressive tactic. It is usually done by one who is overly emotional, filled with hate, pushy, and unhinged.

Screaming gay activists, anti-war outcasts, and half sentient loons engage in this sort of behavior. Is this the new “face” of the Obama campaign? Is this that “new tone” we keep hearing about?

Will the media portray this ignorant tactic for what it is?

Where oh where did that Barack “the light worker” Obama go, anyway?
